You're talking about a ~90hour work week. I have doubts that this is the case, but if it is, this is an insane work-life balance, and your experiences should not be directly translated to other people's situations. I find it incredible that you're ragging on another persons decisions, when your own decisions could quite easily be put under the microscope and shown to be unviable.
Though I find it interesting that this is the only thing you've posted here. To both boast about your own lifestyle, and to deride someone else's. Not really HN worthy behaivour tbh.
Perhaps Mr. Bonilla has extra expenses due to his grandchildren. Which he might not have directly chosen to have, but has to raise because they are family. And maybe he is unable to work 90 hour weeks. Sometimes bad things happen to people outside of their control. To me it seems very sad that the massive wealth of silicon valley has not translated to good fortune and happiness for more people in the region.
Well the 43 year old grandfather could work 50 hours a week and make $1100.
Of course, it's sad -- mostly for the people who work so hard and have to deal with such adversities.
Living in an RV park with waste water issues isn't the solution though. I feel sorry for every human suffering, including the 25,000 children under 5 that will die today unnecessarily.
Life is brutal and I blame the big tech companies, billionaires and those creating the systems for failing to build a better world. But Mr. Bonilla's mistakes in his life are his own and only him and his wife can solve their problems. Engendering victim mentalities isn't going to change anything.
