I grew up in the Midwest in a suburb of a small city. Looking at census data, it was 95%+ white while I was growing up. The most common profession for the minorities' parents I wen…

How is this any different than employers prioritizing hiring from Ivy League schools? Those schools are mostly made up of upper class kids, who are...mostly white. So then Silicon …

Or you know, just pay highly educated people to manage your money for you.

My question for America is, given the current system if every single person was smart and capable enough to be a physician is it possible that no one would live in poverty? I've be…

You used to be able to discharge student loans through bankruptcy and guess what?? The sky didn't fall down. However, that was also when a year of college could be paid for by a mi…

No, no one in the US is protecting people like them. Even in this site, most likely will not have much empathy for the people mentioned in the article. Welcome to America, worship …

Ah, I get it. The "my leaders should have more integrity than me" mentality. Well guess what? One day you may be a leader...and you'll still have your crap, anti-social mentality.

So you're essentially saying, when the poor light your house on fire and you have to listen to your children burn to death. That's when we'll finally say it's enough. Sounds about …

LOL. I'm sure your work improves lives greatly, most of the poeple on this site optimize click rates to hawk stuff people don't need.

My therapist actually told me the other day that a higher salary will probably do a lot to reduce my anxiety (the reason I'm in therapy). No fucking duhhhh.

No, because there are many other treatments for pain. The best one is often physical therapy and other repeated physical treatments (especially for back pain), but these are more e…

Yes, I've been thinking a lot about value the last few months and this is similar to the conclusion I reached. No one is paid based on the value of their output because it is nigh …
