> There used to be "manager's choice" hires where managers had 1 slot in a training program where they could select whoever they wanted. Sometimes that was terrible. Sometimes that person was top of their training program.

Another hindrance to collecting data in the first place is that idiots will read this and downvote it because they think statistics are racist, I guess?

Why is this the one time someone is expected to disprove a claim rather than the claimant being expected to provide evidence? If you're making the claim you need to provide the evidence. Most people would say that a persistent disparit

This is one of those things where the first sentence sounds completely fine and reasonable, maybe even objectively good. Of all the things listed "recruitment" doesn't belong to me. Is the argument that it is someone's f

Race and socioeconomic status are pretty strongly correlated but I'd imagine it's possible to do a study to see what the extent of each's influence is. You'd need to find "high socioeconomic" names that are als

If you want to make meaningful change in this avenue you really can't use words like "bias" or "systemic" because anywhere from 49-51% of the population will immediately shut down upon hearing that. Someone can argu

My assumption (made admittedly with no evidence whatsoever) that you believe it's possible for someone to verify their age without giving up any anonymity or privacy, even temporarily.

The UK has been worse than the US on privacy and basically any privacy-adjacent right for like 50 years, if not longer.

It's interesting to say something sounds simplistic when your argument is basically "I feel like __________" and in fact the evidence shows exactly the opposite.

I asked why "build more" isn't a valid answer and your response is that we need to dethrone capitalism and Reddit-tier nonsense about HOAs? Why is your solution "put 3 families in this single-family home" and not &q

There is a difference between "forced to pay a fee" and "forced to pay an inflated fee." The GP said it's not about being forced to pay a particular commission, which is the first one, which is accurate.

Yeah even our best realtor, who I actually liked and thought he did a good job (see other comment here) spent probably 1/3 of his total time on our purchase just hanging out or also walking around an open house. Such a waste IMO.

I've yet to hear anyone say why "build more" isn't a valid answer to lowering the cost of housing. Even if new builds stay at exactly the same price they're at today, the price of older homes will decrease as supply

If we're talking about home prices why are you talking about apartments? There are a lot of costs associated with apartment buildings that simply don't exist for SFH and MFH builds. Apartments are a different beast.

The force applies to "inflated," e.g. they agreed to pay a fee but were forced to pay an inflated fee. Not they were forced to pay any fee at all.

They're intentionally focusing on only one half of the equation because the other half is partly their fault, and addressing it hurts their members. They either don't understand that addressing wages without supply simply increase

The answer is still build more (which you basically admit yourself in your first sentence). Homes skew larger and more expensive precisely because it's so hard to build them so developers need to make more money from each one. The fixe

It is "work" in the sense that you can be busy doing things. Nothing is difficult by any reasonable sense of the word. All the realtors I know who are actually successful are constantly busy, constantly taking phone calls or respo

What's your definition of normal? 300 years ago you'd just set up on a chunk of land and build your own house. I'm not saying that's preferable to today but the actual financial cost was comparatively extremely little. I

This is at least 80% of the problem. The system is behaving exactly as you'd expect it to with even an Econ 102-level understanding. New supply isn't being built, or is being severely hamstrung, and more people want the supply and
