What is the argument for basing policies on race, rather than actual need? Also, how do you verify race?

I gave you the data that shows your claims of generational wealth trickling through to an entire race of people, are false. You haven't addressed that. You are the one making the argument that we need racial discrimination to right pas

Your analogy doesn't work because it assumes anything that happens to your ancestors necessarily affects you directly for every generation that comes after, forever. Your monopoly example is using a game that you and I play in directly

This is correct, it's trivial to measure click through rates and conversion rates online without knowing anything about the person at all.

I would make a friendly suggestion to spend just a couple of minutes looking into Jacobin, hopefully in time to edit your comment :)

No need to "look forward" to something they've already published. You can read numerous examples of it for yourself on their site.

Do you realize the article is from Jacobin, probably the most credible left-wing publication in the English language?

I gave you the math, which you couldn't challenge. It's the reason people continue to buy homes every day. You want it to sound impossible, but that's simply not backed up by the data.

Why would the content matter? People Google things because that's all they know how to do, not because the results are amazing. A new way of searching could be novel enough to get people to try, well, a new way of searching.
