Emily Yoffe is not an objective arbiter on this topic. She has been writing against first the existence of, and then the response to, campus sexual assault for five years. That doesn't prove her wrong, but she does have an agenda. I wo

She didn't win the popular vote by 1%. She won by 2.1% (that means your memory of the election results are off by a factor of two... maybe check that). Fivethirtyeight's prediction had her winning the popular vote by 3.5%, so the

No, all the training has to do is increase the corporation's profits by more than the cost. People are getting paid to provide labor, not to be serfs.

That's not exactly what it means either. A lot of non-temp jobs were destroyed during the recession, so to some extent the low net-non-temp job growth in the US is due to the job market having to climb out of a giant hole. And a lot of

$10 a day is $300 a month, which is a lot to someone near the poverty line (~$1000 a month). The maximum SNAP (food stamps) benefits for an individual is $194. I know SNAP is supposed to be supplemental, etc., but the government has decided

He means the next right-wing backlash (so Trump-->Democrats return to power-->next reaction). The term was used in the French revolution to describe conservative reactions against revolution. The most famous would be the Thermidorian

This article talks about wage growth for college only. There's no comparison to high school grad's wage growth or those with graduate degrees. You are jumping to conclusions about the value of a college degree without accounting f

Elif Batuman is a fabulous writer; I suggest anyone who likes this article to check out her stories on Gobekli Tepe and Turkish soccer hooligans as well. She also just published a novel, The Idiot, and is promoting it. I haven't read t

I've never heard of a Ga Tech student being murdered, and I can't find anything about such an incident online. Do you have a source for this?

Yes, but the average net worth is 301k. It doesn't make any sense to look at median numbers when talking about uneven wealth distribution. Of course the median is going to be very low, that's the whole point!
