  • Unpopular opinion, but a company removing their DEI policies as to not pick a legal battle with the US government is not the problem, assuming their actual hiring practices are not really changing. If Google from now on only hired straight, white people, it would be detrimental to them for missing out on a huge pool of talent and they know this. If all they are doing is removing diversity requirements from writing and canceling black history month pizza parties (which face it no one really cares about celebrating culture at the workplace), then essentially nothing has changed and they can roll all this back in 4 years.

    … on the other hand, Apple advertising on X is coward shit. 💩


  • You’re being purposely dishonest when you argue that the issues of the US 50 years ago are the same as they are today. Inflation isn’t something that goes away. It’s a necessity in for a growing economy. Abortion is politically still here but views on sexuality and women are not the same as it was 50 years ago.

    Our issues are bad and still probably get worse before they get better but I still would not trade places with China. As I said it’s easier when you are still a developing nation but their issues are not something you’d envy.

    They have a real estate problem that can end their economy, a gender disparity due to their 1 child policy that will leave generations of men without any hopes of finding a partner, and they still get to deal with the same education inflation problem that exists everywhere: all children spending their whole lives studying to get into the few good universities but without that good job waiting for them.
