that would imply a reverse audit of the responsibilities of the job to make sure it matches the unknown candidate

i dont think anyone would ever want a role once given _that_ level of precision of what you'll be asked to do :(

> can translate that paper wealth into actual wealth by selling their home

looking at the housing market currently, that actual wealth is 40% off what they thought it was, going by starting asking price -> actual cash in pocket after taxes, fees, and points paid to all involved

> moisture attacks you from two directions: external rain pushing through your outer layers and internal sweat building up inside your clothing

has there been a brand that tried to sew dessicants inside the jacket? ive got these bags of moisture absorbing beads that i microwave to "revive" their powers; imagining a thin layer of these inside a thin shell would work for a while

> homeowners are generally wealthier than renters

on paper; remove the 'value' of the home and the typical home "owner" (mortgage means bank owns your home) is more likely to be paycheck-to-paycheck
