>This sounds like a great idea, but is it always so easy to do?

Like 13 years ago, I was flying and my Rich Person Class seatmate was some VP of some company that made the giant touchscreens that every news channel was going crazy about. He told me the first thing he does when he starts at a new company is start looking for other jobs.

His logic is that there's no loyalty in business and there isn't supposed to be. If they can find a guy who'll do a better job, they will replace him, and if he can find a better job, he's expected to take it. And what are the odds that a great job is going to come along at exactly the moment you need one? Just about zero. So always be quietly keeping track of other opportunities. At the very least, you are better informed if you need to negotiate a raise.

>Is there a reliable way to find out what the "going rate" is, or is there not even such a thing as a going rate anymore?

Tons of information. Sites like Glassdoor are a good place to start, but there's other ways to infer a rough picture of what people are making. Look at the company parking lot. Look at the way people are dressing, look at watches especially. It's not a perfect method, because other people will spend more or less on niceties, but they are data points. If finances are tight but your coworker's leasing new BMWs, chances are he makes more money than you. Unless he's wearing more for jewelry than a watch and a ring, then he is a spiritual Turk who's spending money on stupid shit to look flashy. And, of course, if you're friendly with other people, you can just straight-up ask.

Most non-nigger jobs have a IP clause and a non-compete clause in the contract

>But for the cost of the Trump tax cuts we could have paid off all public college debt and made it free. And the tax cuts got us absolutely nothing, nothing close to the promised 5% GDP growth, or really anything different than what was going on under Obama.
>But the cost of the tax cuts was immense

Holy fuck, you're on the finance board and spouting some headline you read on Vox. Tell me, how much did federal receipts decrease in fiscal 2018 and 2019, after the tax cuts? What's the number?

Go and look it up, I'll wait.

Nah I'm bored. Federal receipts INCREASED after the tax cuts.

That is because Congress immediately went on a massive spending spree. The deficits are 100% increased spending. How do you not know this?

What the fuck are you doing here
