The fact you think it is obvious and the fact it is not implemented should mean it is flawed in an obvious way for those facing the problem. It is indeed arrogant to think that naive armchair solutions should be considered seriously.

I cannot figure out if this is sarcasm or serious. And now I am worried about my mindset and the HN hive mind.

I guess we would just disagree on this key point that salary differences are based on gender behavior and not just on gender. As far as I can see, the salary differences (and others, including votes for women, leadership positions etc) are

The true question is why are salaries (amongst many other things) subject to the gender. And from what I read above your comment, people do want to correct it in the dating apps too. So, misplaced anger over self?

Sp, 2 wrongs make a right? From what I remember, immigration is federal jurisdiction and not state. States have no standing in enforcing immigration laws and the supreme court judgement agrees with that viewpoint. And you are talking about

When was US ethnically homogeneous? Before the europeans came? Even then, there would have been ethnic differences amongst the tribes in southeast vs northwest. This is such a bad take on history. The problem is that US never trusted its in

Why would you trust the police when the police does not earn the trust the population? What has changed is that their behavior is now more in the public eye.

50 years before were the era of Jim crow, Vietnam war, separate but equal segregation. Can you point out what changed in 50 years? The only thing I can figure out is the constant news cycle that has made everyone paranoid and makes them see

I think you are over-reaching on the effect of 2A. Most of the developed countries in the world do not have an armed population and still, people do not cut lines. I have lived in India where lines do not generally exist and in US. I have s

Thanks. Those are points I did not consider clearly, esp. the SS. While I do own a house, the mortgage, tax and insurance is more than $1700 and hence I moved it out of equation for this hypothetical scenario. My point is that if I get drop

I am close to 50.. My point is that I still have to survive and work for next 15 years and nowhere close to be doing things that I am passionate about (but not income earning) even though I am in the top 5%.

Let us play this to the end. Let us say I retire today with $1MM and I am 50. Top 5% in the net worth bracket, right? A safe 4% withdrawal limit gives me about $50K per year. Net taxes, it is around $43K or $3580 per month. A two-bedroom ap

I also just learnt that Medicaid can place a lien on your house in some cases. Maybe, the solution is to move out of US, but that is equally difficult with an Indian passport.

To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal - Henry Kissinger. yes, WW-3 might be right over the horizon and we all can be bombed out of extinction.. but the world has changed from middle ages.

In US, I feel like I am always in phase 1. While I am very well in the top 5% in terms of wealth, I also feel I am only one serious illness away from bankruptcy and that is stressing me out. If comfortable retirement (living a middle class

The reason you are getting downvoted is because we have been told we are the good guys and the other side are the bad guys. American exceptionalism to the fore. Every group in power acts exactly the same way as they want to keep the power.

Is Japan over-populated? Tokyo's trains are extremely crowded. Is US over-populated? LA traffic jams are crazy. What is the definition of over-population? Over what area are you measuring it? Those train images are likely from just one

Is SpaceX a successful business or just subsidized? Arianespace, from what I can see, makes a very modest profit.

In modern companies, there is a tendency to use the word "leaders" for everything.. however, for me, it comes down to autonomy and power. Managers typically do not get a lot of autonomy - their job is to implement the policies as

From the comments, you desperately want to believe in this non-human thing for whatever reasons. No one else believes that is actually true. So far, your arguments are that Grusch is telling the truth and no one is listening to him. You hav

Engineers talk to each other and they are smart. As long as enough people perceive the same thing, it works out.
