A world where ownership has an obligation or responsibility to you as an employee is a world where you should have a corresponding obligation to them. That is not an upgrade in the least.
That YouGov survey tells me that regardless of party affiliation black people don’t have allies.
The point of education is developing and honing critical thinking skills so that when an individual is put into a position where they have to make a decision they can figure things out.
Ignorance isn’t an excuse for much of anything. Having unreasonable expectations despite accurate information being readily available reflects poorly on the individual, not the system.
I’ve seen some larger companies starting to standardize their pay across all of their locations.
You’re going to have to define “good job” and “good money” for me because if you’re thinking like many of the kids surveyed here then you need to re-evaluate your unrealistic expectations. The fact that you even mentioned six figures in the context of entry level workers, albeit dismissively, makes me think you might…
Really?
If you look at the details on that calculator you’ll see that it assumes you sell and subtracts a projected home value from the total cost. If you don’t sell that has a significant impact on the comparison.
One of the problems in how people discuss student debt in this country is the hyperbole.
Renting vs owning is a simple comparison when people look at the cost of rent vs the cost of a mortgage. I think this is what most people do.
Who said anything about lying? The fact that black people, especially black leaders, particularly black politicians don’t get to speak freely when dealing with fragile white sensibilities should not be news or even a debatable point to an adult.
If you’re not a white man is there any point in America’s history where it hasn’t displayed relatively overt fascist, nativist, and extremist tendencies? This is who America is and always has been. To claim any different is to ignore two and a half centuries of evidence to the contrary.
A decade with no raises isn’t a fluke. They’ve told you in no uncertain terms precisely who they are and you wanna argue with them about being better?
Wait what? People get angry when they feel like other people are getting a free ride? Shouldn’t the union members shoulder that load because it’s better for everyone? I mean that’s the moral thing to do right?
It has always annoyed me how certain consumers of certain goods consider themselves experts in the creation of said goods and in a position to talk shop equal ground with the actual experts by virtue of their consumption.
It’s rather important to distinguish between cause and effect here. “A system where winning means being the biggest liar and con man” is an effect.
The country doesn’t care about “education and self-improvement”. The social democracies of Europe don’t either. They care about having a stronger, more competitive, more economically viable workforce. It’s not an altruistic gesture.
It sounds like you have a loan with a variable interest rate?
