Whoever writes:

The economy of the San Francisco Bay Area has grown at an annual rate of 4.3% over the last 3 years, which is nearly double that of the rest of the USA. With a "GDP" of $748B, the Bay Area would be the 18th largest economy in the world if it were a country; between the Netherlands and Switzerland. Overall employment grew by 26%, largely driven by tech jobs.

    He's a 40-something-year-old living in a roommate situation with his friend's ("friend's") kids and the highest pleasures in his life are fishing and pornography. He's a pimply teenager inside, if that's what you mean.
