They do though. Tech as a whole is like 43% female. But they aren’t in the engineering or development jobs that end up feeding so many people into the executive areas.

But all they did was point a finger at Silicon Valley. That doesn’t move anything forward.

Yeah, I think it’s fair since women were discriminated against for long enough that the change needs a boost. There’s obviously also some truth to the idea that girls don’t find STEM as interesting as boys. But since it’s impossible to know what is conditioned and what is just brain differences, you’re doing no harm…

The question is also what we can do about it. Women are 60% of college students and now 50% of degrees. It’s obviously not a lack of intelligence. Many countries have tried to use affirmative action and STEM recruitment programs to bring more women into tech. They’ve struggled with getting the results they wanted, and…

That’s not true though. Just look at immigrants. The first generation sacrifices. The next generation strives, taking jobs their parents couldn’t have gotten. The third generation moves toward security. Taking a job your parents couldn’t get is normal for any community.

In this case, I don’t even think the Hampshire protesters have a good argument. If the flag was an important enough symbol to use as a protest of the election, then you can’t turn around and say “it’s just a symbol” if people protest its burning.

Yeah, we have two good candidates. Despite today’s stuff from the ADL, he’s supposedly in the lead.

Yep...they’re not bound to a party, so they’re going to piss everybody off at some point.

This is hilarious and everything...but this isn’t coming from Republicans. He’s in a race against Howard Dean for the DNC. Republicans have no say or care in that race. They hate Dean too.

Even if it does, the worst case scenario is Howard Dean, who is probably the better candidate. His ‘05-’09 tenure was great.

This isn’t coming from the right wing news. The ADL reversed face on their endorsement of Ellison for DNC chairman, which is what pulled it up into the news. The only question is whether it’s coming from Howard Dean’s camp or not.

He’s just in a campaign for DNC Chairman. He’s the front runner, with Howard Dean being in 2nd. Because of that campaign, mud is being slung about his past. Or it may not be mud. The media might have just picked it up themselves.

This is Democrats against Democrats. He’s not facing racist Islamaphobes. The reason for the smear campaign is that he’s running for an office. He’s emerged as the top candidate for the job and is supported by a lot of power players. That comes with a backlash.

All these years, I thought it was Andre Cymone in all of the videos prior to When Doves Cry and singing the second lead on 1999. But he left in 1981, so now I have to look up who the other guy was.

YOU BIG DUMMY. Waco is 20 minutes from West. You should never stop for food in Waco.

Lol...no, I don’t think someone from New York is going to like Wyoming or Waco much. Though of the two, Wyoming is at least so rural that people generally leave each other alone. Waco is actively bad, plus the summers suck.

Open floor plans are definitely a bit overrated right now. But it’s natural- open floor plans give a great first impression when you walk in, so they show better. And people tend to buy a house with socializing in mind, even if they don’t ever end up doing it, and the open floor plans are better for that.

Yes, those martyrs who went there specifically to get arrested and then were without any incidents.

The problem with a living wage is so incredibly varied in the US. San Francisco costs twice as much as most rural areas, so the living wage there is double. Even then, it’s completely different according to household situation. For a single person with no kids, it’s usually less than $15. For a single mom with three…

There’s never been a minimum wage increase that includes so many people. Economists haven’t been able to model it. All we have are both sides doing some small, polemic studies.
