More importantly, anyone who knows anything about the SATs knows that you don’t do well on them by simply knowing things. People who score highly are taught to the exam via prep courses. Shockingly, the availability and cost of those prep courses means they are almost exclusively the enclave of wealthy whites.

Jeez, talk about sour grapes.

Yes, but it’s hiiiiighly specific to certain products. Workers comp is definitley highly regulated, as is flood, but there are others that aren’t regulated well at all, and others that are in the process of getting that kind of oversight (student loans, for an example).

This is always true to an extent - but something like 72% of the populace voted in this referendum! As an American, that’s an astounding number to hear.

I often work with insurers as well, so I hear ya. I am struck, though, with the general lack of federal regulation there as opposed to the banking sector, but that’s probably just a matter of time until some bigwig in an insurance company finds a get rich quick scheme that involves defrauding everyone :) You start to…

It’s certainly true to an extent. But everyone has their limits to differences in friendships, differing levels of friendship, etc.

There’s not really any statistical trickery going on there. It’s simply a breakdown of Brexit votes by age, along with a social commentary tacked on next to each pointing out that younger generations will ultimately bear the brunt of the fall out.

100% in agreement with you.

Yeah, that’s scary. Not an acceptable answer at all.

Someone replied to my post with it - I couldn’t find it myself after I had mentioned it. Google was not helpful.

Perfect! I couldnt’ find it myself, so thank you.

To a large extent I agree. However, sometimes it’s a good reminder to reassess relationships. If something is worth saving, then conversations are worth having to try to come to some sort of understanding.

I typically try to stay away from sweeping generational blame, but this morning someone in my FB feed posted a phenomenally depressing infographic that displayed the voting preferences for the Brexit broken down by age group, along with “how many years they’ll live with this decision”. Damn if it wasn’t the most…

Sounds like it might be time for a facebook friend purge.

Nope. Nope nope nope.

As someone right at the doorstep of 32, and as someone who is waiting on pins and needles to see, in the next 24 hours, whether I’ve received a promotion I’ve busted my ass for since coming to my company, this hits awfully close to home. I wish salary discussions weren’t so awkward. I’d love to know what others at my…

Thanks! I agree we desparately need campaign finance reform. I don’t like that money is so omnipresent, and there are many many examples where it’s very clear that a particular vote was bought. However, I also am naturally wary of assuming this is always the case. I actually point to Hillary’s term as Senator in NY as…

Yeah, Clinton’s platform contrasts with Sanders platform made Wall St a massive issue and a lot of critical thinking was lost in the melee. As someone who works with various financial institutions in a regulatory and consulting capacity and sees the good and bad up close, it has annoyed me to no end that the response…

These kinds of insinuations have really started bugging me over the last 6 months or so (primary fatigue, I guess). What I find particularly obnoxious is the insinuation that Wall St (whatever that encompasses) is an inherently bad actor. I constantly am annoyed when folks ascribe a malevolent angle to that. Banks are…

Of course he does. There aren’t any financial service orgs in Kentucky. There are tons in NJ and the NY Metro. These insipid random quotes withno context are obnoxious. What’s your point, that all politicians that have received donations from “Wall St” are necessarily on their payroll and thus will ignore all their…
