Suppose the next time you're a painter bringing in a painting of yours into the country. Next thing you know they are accusing you of smuggling. Is the solution to hire people with background in arts?

Studies also show that women are paid less than men for similar work. Where are all the tech companies created by women, with mostly women as employees capitalizing on the market inefficiency giving them competitive advantage?
