It's now acceptable to criticize DEI, a major change in the post-2020 world. See this comment section from earlier this week, no major anger at the idea DEI is flawed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38726911

Renewables are on a course that will completely change the world, and no one really understands how transformative it already is England used 0 coal and 7% natgas last night. Rest of their grid was wind and a bit of nukes. Not some little C

Losing your privilege feels like oppression In this case, it's explicit privilege in hiring, promotions, and legal mandates for reporting in layoffs. Seems like he's pushing for equality

Politics. Everyone I know who moved from NYC to Florida did so because they were sick of the politics, and wanted to live in a red state with NYC-ish amenities. Miami is absolutely that. For most though, it's about housing cost - those

Catholics officially believe in aliens, and that we should save them (if they weren’t visited by Jesus) Jews wouldn’t care either. Don’t know about Muslims, but it’s not threatening to the other Abrahamic religions

I am too - I think it’s the moon plus Jupiter that is extremely unique and makes complex life possible I also think it’s a lot of pressure if it’s only us, so it’s easier to imagine we’re one of billions. Honestly, honestly think it’s just

Because they don’t give a shit, just like every incumbent. It’s why institutions so quickly fall - no one gives a shit. Five Guys and Shake Shack do, and they’re eating McDonald’s lunch

I guess you're right. I'm a homeowner but also an annoying pro-housing YIMBY, but for some reason I see Angelinos as more cynical about "I got mine" Maybe because the city is so sprawling? "Move them over there&quot

Do Angelinos find this embarrassing? I find NYCs crime spike and our failure to build rail transit at the rate of my grandfather. Do angelinos feel that same internalization? I think the mayor does, but the populace seems happy w/“my h
