EPIC WHINE BY CLUELESS MILLENNIAL GETS HER FIRED. As Rick Moran writes, former Yelp employee Talia Jane’s “first huge mistake was moving to San Francisco. It might be nice to live in your dream city where the weather is nice and you’re close to your dad, but seriously, how could anyone expect to work a minimum wage job in one of the most expensive cities in the world? It’s incomprehensible and shows a critical lack of understanding of the outside world.”

Don’t be too hard on her, Rick. Between a looming $15 minimum wage, public nudity, gun control, their “sanctuary city” policy on illegal immigration, and treating the homeless like they were an endangered species — and then openly wondering why all these crazy homeless people keep flocking to the city, San Francisco’s elites spend their days in a world of magical thinking. We shouldn’t be too surprised when a young person there does so as well.

Related: Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman “admits the cost of living in San Francisco is ‘far too high’ as one of his employees complains she can barely afford to eat.”

But that’s just the way that San Francisco’s “Progressive” elites like it. In a 2014 article at Reason titled “How San Francisco’s Progressive Policies Are Hurting the Poor,” Scott Beyer noted, “Progressive economic policies—or at least the way they are applied in San Francisco, without apparent knowledge of government bureaucracy’s pitfalls—have…caused higher taxes and living costs, poor services, regulatory barriers to entry, and a loss of economic freedom. This creates a system that the rich can endure, and sometimes exploit to their benefit, but that poorer people cannot abide, helping to explain San Francisco’s further plunge into stark class division.”

Unexpectedly, as the house organ of a billionaire socialist technocrat would say.

NEWS YOU CAN USE: “Cry at work if you never want to succeed,” Kyle Smith writes at the New York Post:

Crying is an absolutely spiffing way to get what you want — in the short term. But once you’ve hosted a one-person snivel party, people tend to remember it. And nobody wants to see it again. People will start finding excuses to gently steer you away from challenging situations. They’ll do your work themselves. They’ll find someone else to give the hard-deadline gotta-have-this-now project.

All of which means you’ll become devalued and marginalized. If you want to secure the promotion, snag the bonus, make it to the top, you’ll have to prove you can do the tough stuff. Women will be set back 100 years if they start believing it’s OK to cry on the job.

But hey, OK, fine, if you just want to remain on the Girl Track for the rest of your life, by all means interrupt the weekly departmental meeting to fill your empty venti cup with your hot, salty tears. But take a good look around you as you do so. In my experience, women bosses tend to be even less sympathetic than men to female issues. Why? Because women bosses know what it’s like to be women. They managed to make it anyway, and they think other women should, too. Bosses like employees who remind them of themselves.

Which dovetails nicely with this incredible vignette in a New York Times piece titled, “What Happens When Millennials Run the Workplace?”

[Chris Altchek, Mic.com’s 28-year-old CEO] recalled a companywide meeting last September that coincided with the religious holidays Yom Kippur and Eid al-Adha. An Anglo-Pakistani employee asked why management had announced a flexible time off policy for the Jewish holiday, but not for its Muslim counterpart.

“So I told her, ‘Great point, being inclusive and respectful of all religious affiliations is incredibly important to Mic,’” Mr. Altchek said.

Afterward, in front of a smaller group, he was approached by a younger, entry-level employee who said that there were two words missing from his reply. “I was a bit confused and said, ‘O.K., what were those?’” he recalled. “And she said: ‘I’m sorry. I didn’t hear an apology.’”

Mr. Altchek did not think such a comment belonged in a workplace, especially his.

“I was a little taken aback by the tone, but I told her I would address it and make sure the person who asked the question wasn’t offended by the answer,” he said. “You have to control your temper. It was in front of a bunch of people, which was probably better, because I was forced to be calm.”

That employee is no longer with the company. (Mr. Altchek said she was let go for “performance-related issues.”)

As Sonny Bunch of the Washington Free Beacon tweets, “I would take great pleasure in firing this person in front of the entire staff,” adding, “I hope the girl who did this writes an open letter about the trauma she suffered on Medium.” Heh, indeed.™

AND NOW, THE REST OF THE STORY: Starving on the Prosciutto-and-Brie Poverty Diet.

Michelle Malkin does yeoman work, going into the details of Talia Jane, the woman we mentioned on Monday who complained about the how expensive it is to make it San Francisco, whose screed resulted in her being fired by Yelp, in which she mentioned being “25-years old, balancing all sorts of debt and trying to pave a life for myself that doesn’t involve crying in the bathtub every week.”

There’s no doubt that SF is an expensive city to live in thanks to its deepest of blue state taxes and policies. But it’s even more expensive when, as Malkin discovered, you’re spending — as Jane boasted on Instagram and Twitter — your wages on “‘prosciutto-brie-cilantro-garlic biscuits,’ ‘brie-stuffed meatballs topped with brie and rosemary sprigs,’ ‘roast chuck marinated in herbs,’ ‘a s— ton of Swedish potatoes au gratin,’ and ‘mini pumpkin pies’” – and “indulging in a spa day with a fashionable facial mask made of Lush-brand coffee grounds.” “In one of her richer moments (pun intended),” Michelle writes, “Jane brags about having Bulleit Kentucky Bourbon delivered to her office through a smartphone app.”
