I'm expecting you guys to give up on this, just like all the other stuff. Downvote away, but you've lost so many rights since the 1960s, with barely a peep.

Only on this over moderated site would you be downvoted for telling us the truth. America is in deep trouble. Why do tech companies know they can exploit most workers with their apps? America has way too many desperate people. Amazon, Uber, and the rest, know they will get hungry people to drive, and deliver food, to guys like the founder of this site. Oh yea, his “Insightful” writing is community college level, and lacks heart, or substance. But we lick his boots because we don’t want to offend the spoiled American? After all, we are all going to be at the rich boys club one day? To you that have that cushy tech job with just watch what happens when you hit fifty, or get eaten up by a monopoly. Why do I feel like 99% of you people actually think you will succeed in America? I guarantee it will be a handful out of thousands, unless you have the proverbial empathetic wealthy parent. Hacker News has become a place where wealthy boys can feel good about their lives, filled with delusional fan boys who believe they will be Zuck boys eventually. I was hellbanned for no good reason years ago, so you probably can’t read this, but I needed to write, even to know one. (Oh yea, ban a person from commenting. Don’t email him without permission, and degrade them with petty demands, especially without agreeing to any TOS. Hellbaning is caddy. I still read these comments daily, but quality is lacking. It seems like every comment is filtered for, what’s the word—-conformity? America was not built on Conformity!

This is simply not true. The number and degree of rights that people have in America is unquestionably higher than the 1960s. I could probably spend 8 hours making a list. Here's a good place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_landmark_court_decisions_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_landmark_court_decisio...

  > Discrimination based on race and ethnicity That's "won" is it? You've gone backwards compared to most countries, even if you did write some of it down on a piece of paper.
