A customer - service rep named Talia Jane, who worked for the company's food delivery arm Eat24, wrote an
open letter to Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelmann on Friday explaining how she could not afford to pay groceries, had stopped using her heater, spent 80 % of her income on paying rent in San Francisco, and was «balancing all sorts of
debt and trying to pave a life for myself that doesn't
involve crying in the bathtub every week.»
With much of the global economy struggling under the weight of massive
debt loads and unfavorable demographic trends, it's an
open question whether the next few years will
involve higher interest rates — as most experts have expected, and continue to expect — or whether these deflationary forces will keep interest rates low for a while longer.
