More deserving of what? The argument is that wealth/social capital/whatever accumulated by your ancestors rightfully belongs and can be transferred to you.

So, a company explicitly states that when push comes to shove, if you are white, you move to the front of the firing queue. Remind me again, why would a white person (especially man) not put them on the back of the queue when deciding where

Affirmative action in college admissions and hiring has been a thing at least since the early 90s.

Given that affirmative action has been a thing in both hiring and college admissions for multiple decades now, that's of course incorrect. Those "innumerable advantages" in today's USA overwhelmingly go to (immigrant) mi

It's making slow progress, much slower than expected 10 years ago, when in 2012 I was personally "promised" by a person with a start up in the field that I will be able to buy a L5 car in 5 years. That person is the equivalen

No, it wasn't the topic for the parent comment which tilts the definition in this direction: >they have no idea as to "what" they are painting. You just shifted to "you can't distinguish" - a common tactic f

Assuming this is even a feature users want (they probably don't; why would you have your ERP generate those instead of specialized software?), it makes 0 sense for SAP to build their own model instead of using an open-source one.

This: >a repeated event that carries non-zero probability for an adverse effect increases the cumulative probability of said adverse effect when it recurs. is true by logical necessity. It doesn't need peer-review citation because i

It mentions 2 factors, both of which easily disprovable since excess deaths almost perfectly track case numbers and not vaccines administered and/or lockdown stringency. Better luck with your "it's complicated" bullsh*t

Occam's razor is an entirely logical heuristic whereas confirmation bias is not. But it's good that you show so readily you have no grasp of even basic concepts.

It is axiomatically true that a repeated event that carries non-zero probability for an adverse effect increases the cumulative probability of said adverse effect when it recurs. I don't need to show any work since covid infection AND

The topic is that you are alleging a conspiracy for something which is exactly backed by the excess death data. For an explanation of which you have to invent a second conspiracy. >Why would they submit for a finger injury that pays $500

We definitely don't "live with" polio and measles, not in the sense the usual *** in the comments use this phrase. We are also well on our way to stop living with HPV - but of course antivaxxers there are also sabotaging.
