If you are referring to the US, it's more because of the proportional treatment of indigenous, Hispanic, and black people by the government, historically speaking. Not because a particular group is too successful. For example, if you

The fact that people exist who actually blame Obama should be proof enough that our society was mentally ill far before social media.

Do you really think welfare and other social services would go away (in the near future)? Seems like political suicide.

"The northwest" isn't really much different than Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee, culturally speaking. You are probably thinking of big city culture, which you would see around Seattle and Portland, but then you would also s

I'm confused as to why you cannot gain the accolades of your peers. Implying only white people care about privacy? That is nonsensical.

I would wager Apple employees, or in-office employees in general, tend not comment on threads like these in fear of publicly disagreeing with company leadership. So maybe there is some selection bias at play.

Perhaps the most compelling argument was that Apple was being hypocritical in the way it markets its own products. "We tell all of our customers how great our products are for remote work, yet, we ourselves, cannot use them to work re

Why would that be the goal? Men who have a partner still have the option to pursue sex outside of a relationship. Many simply pay for that type of sexual relationship with no "struggles" you speak of.

If a company from Virginia does business with an employee from California, then business is taking place between entities of Virginia and California, thus Virginian and Californian laws must be followed. It is that simple.

The right isn't really skeptical of science either. The vast majority will still opt for advanced medical care when given the choice, and they will certainly fund the type of science that advances engineering and applied science (see t

Elon Musk isn't really right wing (e.g. show me Tucker Carlson going on a podcast and smoking weed). Also Elon is more or less an outward backer of science.
