OK, I believe that you understand the difference, it just didn't seem that way in your original post. I didn't remember that photo from the 08 election (or even see it in the first…

I wouldn't say it's overtly racist, but there is a very strong correlation between race, class, and privilege in the Bay Area. Unlike the traditional American narrative around race…

I can understand why the confusion may arise due to both groups wearing fabric-based head garments, but most (though not all) Sikhs are of Indian origin. Their cultural connection …

holy metaphors!

You seem to be basing all your arguments on national averages. That data shows none of the variances in life expectancy depending on race, class, region, and income. Other measures…

Mobility is far too complex a phenomenon to sum up with a single nationwide "rate". Here's an example that reflects on the role of race in metropolitan areas and commute zones on m…

We should care about it in as much as it results in massive differences in basic quality-of-life for large numbers of people. Quality-of-life here is not defined by the ability buy…

The greatest tragedy of places like this is that the law abiding population is held hostage by the threat (and exercise) of violence by the dangerous members of their own community…

I have a hard time understanding how an self-admitted very wealthy person living in a 2 bedroom Manhattan apartment, differs significantly from the one living in Woodside estate. H…

This is clearly a slimy attempt to dodge his own company's role in the problems. He's CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech company, based in San Francisco, with probably more highly-…

No way. Try once an hour at each stop, only during commute hours. Edit: I'm only talking about one company. I don't know about the others.

The problem with this argument is that it ignores the basic contract of power in a (functioning) democratic government: The people, through their votes, lend their power to a gover…

Even if the income for the poor and working class has risen compared to generations ago, something that many forget is that absolute quality-of-life for many of them has gotten con…
