Resumes, interviews, and referrals disproportionately favor the BSers, conversationalists, and the well-connected. No surprise that employers have buyers remorse. For how much emphasis companies put on hiring, I'm surprised there aren&

Pg seems to really hate being criticized. I hope he doesn't stop writing about controversial things (or water down his essays) because the silent majority of us really appreciate it.

I guess there are a lot of other things that may have been responsible, but I can believe it. I just saw blackfish and was impressed with how much that changed public opinion. Bernie and Goodfella got people out of jail.
