Not necessarily - Bill G wasn't giving a whole bunch of money away on the way up. It can be rational to look after yourself first before looking after others even if you care about them. I don't think it's as binary as you ma

"I think that's a good thing" "I might agree that hiring wealthy candidates makes sense to the business" Just parsing out those double negatives for reference.

You could still identify searches where there's room for improvement even without comparing with Google results.

Sorry I don't know a source... actually I don't think I've seen this on any other sites. Just one of those small things that keeps me with Google.

This is a significant subset of what ITA does though - just a list of what flights go on each day of the week and at what time. I expect that can be built for significantly less than 700 million, certainly among the popular airports that mo

Google has a list of scheduled flights when you put in two airport codes which is useful, doesn't look like DDG does the same.

Think there's room for more nuance around saying inequality increases as wealth increases. Eg a public transit system and a limousine service could both increase the wealth of a community but might have different effects on inequality.

That would probably be closer and I suspect they have the data to get what I want, which is more like a list of flagged stories to understand some of the inherent bias in the site.
