Gerrymandering means that the house is a skewed representation of the people. The senate is a skewed representation of the people in its intentional structure. Further, the Trump administration is happily destroying…
If that is the test then it is plainly obvious from the data that humanities majors earn more than workers who never went to college. Where are you getting this idea that this isn't happening? In my state the text of…
I don't understand what you mean by "do not produce economic benefits" then. So you say STEM majors do this and that humanities majors do not. But I truly do not understand. I really do not think that your understanding…
> They need to demonstrate that it's somehow beneficial on average to economic outcomes. Well we can demonstrate conclusively with data that people who get a humanities education have lower unemployment and earn higher…
I don't understand how the only use of the humanities is to teach people about classical liberalism. Surely my polysci friend who worked on 21st century dictatorships and my history friend who worked on early modern…
What does it mean to undermine it? Is your position that no matter what the rigorous application of some research method produces that you should always come to a predetermined conclusion that some particular form of…
Where do you get this impression from? Faculty? Published research? My observation is that people working in the humanities have a deeper and wider reading list than at any point in prior history. If you are complaining…
I'm very sorry but you are simply not going to convince me that "wow this entire national population is just plain worse than this other population and if we let them in it'll ruin our country" is meaningfully distinct…
“These populations are simply worse people undeserving of any respect or kindness. Oh and they happen to have a consistent racial component.” George Wallace said this shit too.
I don't recall her agitating for a race war online. Maybe I missed it. If the salutes were one weird thing it'd be one thing. But Musk spends all day online talking about how much better white society is than everything…
If "eliminate all IP law" is your preference then that's fine but it isn't a reason to commit crimes while we have these laws.
This is not how I want the world to be. "Wow, our state institutions are struggling in ways X, Y, and Z. Rather than addressing these problems we will shuffle them to an unaccountable third party that will provide a…
Teaching children is not just about delivering facts to them. The challenge when teaching children is not "do you know the topics that you are teaching them." They challenge is in the pedagogical methods used to get…
There's a six month wait for me to see a pediatric gastroenterologist. Not even to get treatment. Just to see someone. Right here in the good ole USA.
Doing that for a class of 30is already a huge chore. Now do a class of 150.
A robot babysitter sounds like a suggestion made by somebody who doesn't have kids.
> The USA has had an uninterrupted system of government since 1789. Sort of. We had a civil war. We had a second founding. Then we had violent overthrowing of the reconstruction governments in the south. It has been…
The true american dream. Generating as much money for shareholders as humanly possible and then going home to your rented apartment to be surveilled by AI companies finding ever more intrusive ways to shove ads in your…
The financialization of the US economy is well documented. A huge amount of labor is going not into creating something of value for the public but instead to moving money around more cleverly than other people so you…
Did Clinton claim that she actually won?
Don't worry. If the lawyers prosecuting you illegally point out your silence as suspicious to the jury, the supreme court can just decide that actually this didn't impact the jury enough so your conviction stands. Great…
Why would Musk be stuck babysitting PayPal? He would have earned money while laboring there. He can choose to do something different if he wants to, just like anybody else with a job.
Of course there are side effects. The question is whether those side effects are worth the benefits we'd get. Millions dead every year from TB. A curable disease.
I don’t find “we need billionaires because 401ks” to be a compelling argument. We can build a different system. AOC’s criticism is that “own stock, share in gains” is not the same as earning money.
It is factual that ownership continues to pay after you are no longer laboring. My position is that this is not a good thing.
