If you are referring to the US, it's more because of the proportional treatment of indigenous, Hispanic, and black people by the government, historically speaking. Not because a particular group is too successful.

For example, if you read about the history of the Trail of Tears and slavery, those were long-term instances of oppression to specific groups. Not that Indians or East Asians haven't had periods of poor treatment, but the government had a hand in making it almost impossible for the aforementioned groups to accumulate wealth or property in America over the centuries.

If you look at the reason why Title IX exists, it is not because "men are too successful", if that makes sense.

They have a deep rooted fear for their own interests. What do you think they are going to do?

Allow me to introduce you to Digital Osmosis.

> Idk, why real estate agents can't be completely automated away.

There are startups working on this very problem.

The United States is the fourth largest country in the world and has no kind of high speed rail of any kind

The MBA route not a fad language in itself?

The fact that people exist who actually blame Obama should be proof enough that our society was mentally ill far before social media.

Swap "information" with "ML-optimized and personalized dopamine dispenser". At what age would it be appropriate to own such a device?

Do you really think welfare and other social services would go away (in the near future)? Seems like political suicide.

"The northwest" isn't really much different than Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee, culturally speaking. You are probably thinking of big city culture, which you would see around Seattle and Portland, but then you would also see that in Columbus, OH or Atlanta, GA.

It sounds like they have a pretty solid take on good destinations as a minority, since they have experienced quite a bit that they would still see in the areas you mentioned.

By the way, people fly confederate flags in the northwest too!

I'm confused as to why you cannot gain the accolades of your peers. Implying only white people care about privacy? That is nonsensical.

> It's as if they all received the exact same memo with the same talking points and are all desperately following it.

But enough about the Wall Street Journal

Do people not use money as a proxy for power/status?

"Who is willing to relocate to the bay area or Austin in the first place? Who are the ones getting priced out? Demographics/census, speaking."

I think that is the argument being made.

I would wager Apple employees, or in-office employees in general, tend not comment on threads like these in fear of publicly disagreeing with company leadership. So maybe there is some selection bias at play.

The original argument is that monogamy is in place because men cannot get sex elsewhere. That is obviously not true. The point being that men also desire faithful long-term companionship. The ones who want casual sex or multiple partners still obtain that even in our monogamy-by-law society.

Why would that be the goal? Men who have a partner still have the option to pursue sex outside of a relationship. Many simply pay for that type of sexual relationship with no "struggles" you speak of.

I think you meant to say that most men are not capable of polygamy? I would very much think that most men are capable of promiscuity.

Do you have any evidence to support that claim?

To what ends? I don't think people care too much about diminishing returns. At that point it is a matter of which upgradability and repair tradeoffs. Was there a recent line of products that they offered featuring upgradability and repair we can compare to?

All those managers seem to think it's a good enough motivator to keep it around.

If a company from Virginia does business with an employee from California, then business is taking place between entities of Virginia and California, thus Virginian and Californian laws must be followed. It is that simple.

There are more stressful and dangerous careers that do not have travel positions as a norm.

It's unfortunate the propaganda du jour is "Inflation is caused by $15 minimum wage and other table scraps for the poor."

The right isn't really skeptical of science either. The vast majority will still opt for advanced medical care when given the choice, and they will certainly fund the type of science that advances engineering and applied science (see the main demographic interested in automotive engineering, f1, or aircraft).

The right/left dichotomy will be easier to look beyond when alternatives like approval voting or ranked choice voting become palatable.

Elon Musk isn't really right wing (e.g. show me Tucker Carlson going on a podcast and smoking weed). Also Elon is more or less an outward backer of science.

Shouldn't travel positions exist for every other profession?

The reason why it's expected for nursing in particular is the indicator that something here is very wrong.
