They weren't literally "handcuffed" either. Have you ever used the term "piracy" to describe unauthorized copying rather than attacking and plundering ships on the high seas?

Social backlash is understandable. Employers aren't allowed to punish people for revealing their salaries though.

I went to college before high school, starting at age 13. I was a full-time student until the age of 15, when I went back to high school due both financial and social reasons. Going back to high school was great for my social life, but it w

So you think it's cool to offer "bargain prices" (i.e. lowball) when hiring people from discriminated groups? I understand the moneyball angle, but in this case it's not one I'd be comfortable with.
