Yet another good post down-modded in the middle of the night. -1 Troll and disagree are not the same thing. The middle class maybe isn't getting enough education to see through the lies! In any event, this is a valid like of reasoning written in a non-inflamatory tone. There may have to be some adjustment to how mod points are distributed!
I don't know whether this is true or not, but I don't think that the troll moderation is appropriate. Memorizing the texts certainly must contribute to some extent to being part of the in-group of a religion. Rather than down-moderate, how about post something that might help shed additional light on this?
And if you want to enter one of these fields, this would be the smart thing to do. Tradespeople get screwed generation after generation because their skills go from high demand to low demand. And then what? With a degree you can transition to doing something else. If you have only vocational education all you can do is end up angry and bitter.
Right, the dominant purpose of A Hooter's waitress is forthrightly to titillate and entice male customers. Bringing the food is secondary. Nobody goes to Hooters for the food. On the other hand, people tend to fly to get places and the dominant purpose of the flight attendants is facilitate people flying places!

In other words, both men and women engage in bad behavior when given the chance and the exact nature of that bad behavior is influenced both by their personal circumstances as well as pressure from society. Nobody is saying that will ever change and there's no reason to believe that any equality measures would change this. Just that women should get the same opportunities to misbehave as men.
Discrimination is inefficient, but not so inefficient that it can't survive for a long time in the market.
Unfortunately, I don't think that this is true at all. It's something that we would *like* to believe. If there is a company that is racist or misogynistic, that company would lose to a more enlightened competitor who would treat their workforce much better. This probably does happen in the very long term but we are talking about timelines on the same order as that of a human life. And during the transition, even though the women and minorities get to work for the more enlightened company, they have less salary negotiating power and, therefore, suffer economically even though they are in the workforce. If this was a problem that would self-correct quickly, there woudln't be nearly the need for intervention and it wouldn't be so hard to find evidence of it still existing. I wish your comment accurately represented the economic situation. It fits neatly in to some nice economic models. But the real-world data contradicts. It's not that this shouldn't or wont' happen just that it's not a fast enough process to affect those who are alive today.
I don't think that this is true at all. Physical appearance matters as much (if not more) to females than men. They want strong shoulders, symmetry in the face, and lots of muscles. There is also some attraction to money, power, and status. However as women become more economically independent they can get their own money, power, and status, and don't need these things from men. Why do you think so many men are scared of women's empowerment?! FYI, I get my money's worth out of my gym membership, but I'll never win a beauty contest.
You got down-modded twice which is terribly depressing. One would like to think that the/. crowd is a bit more informed than average and willing to be informed by data. But lately a lot of alt-righters have not only been posting here and getting modded up but also abusing moderation to vote down viewpoints they don't agree with. I think I know how we got here.
We tell girls that life is all about their appearance. This is a cruel message but is probably pretty accurate. We tell boys the sweet like that the world will value them based on their accomplishments. This leads to them studying hard subjects (like engineering and computer science), building careers, and expecting their reward. But they don't get attention from women (Most of us wouldn't win a beauty contest) and then feel resentful.
Those negative feelings get channeled as misogyny which is a shame. I guess if every woman needs a man for economic survival, their chances of finding girlfriends might be trivially higher. But not much. If I were a woman, I'd rather try to change the social norms than date some of the/. crowd!
So let me get this straight, the AC who promotes gender-segregation gets modded up and the progressive feminist who says nothing more than the non-controversial statement that doesn't want gender segregation gets modded down?
Those jobs simply weren't worked. We didn't eat foods that required as much manual labor/calorie. (i.e. you can forget fresh blueberries). https://www.beachbodyondemand....
Maybe it would be better for health to go back to the diets of the 1970s or before. And maybe it would be better for society. But the consequence would be a switch from fruits to canned potatoes.
Back to my original comment on agriculture, there is a huge complaint in the US that people can't afford to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Immigrant pickers make about $7.50/hr. If we doubled the price and got natives to take those jobs, fresh produce would quickly become a luxury that only the rich can genuinely afford. (Right now people can actually afford it if they managed their money better)
A guest worker program is something that we've talked about for a long time but it has never materialized. It would be a great, cost-effective solution to many problems including putting the "coyotes" out of business.
The interesting thing is, of course, we can probably teach a chat bot to get rid of implicit biases where that may be very hard in the case of some humans.
Although your comment is quite valid in that the markets for various low-skilled labor do have an effect on each other, very few low-skilled immigrants work retail where English/Spanish language skills are fairly important. They may stock the shelves, though. Most low-skill immigrants work physically demanding jobs that natives won't take like meat processing and agriculture.
(or remember back when they had those slide-things, they still have those for embossed cards).
Apparently, they are supposed to still have these and, if the card is embossed, use it if the chip and the mag stripe both fail. https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/... The merchant takes on less liability if they do this instead of just writing out the number.
Maybe because, even if you think that legal prostitution is a good idea, it's a very politically difficult vote to make. You only have so much political capital. Why invest it voting against this bill when you have other priorities than making life easier for the Johns.

Could you pin point the times when electricians and plumbers were in low demand? I don't recall it in the last 60.
No but I can come up with a time where this has happened for welders, skilled coal miners, machine operators, et cetera.

They only deliver to GM. Maybe Ford sees the writing on the wall.
I would have added a few more nines.
Fair enough. That's still pretty consistent with my point. A flight attendant is nothing like a Hooters server.

$15/hour is more than the average US farm worker makes. At that price, we might have more native uptake.

Can't they just make an imprint of the chip in my card?
No they can't "imprint the chip" but there are procedures for handling this. https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/... Start reading around page 25

So why have a land line at all?!
Maybe because, even if you think that legal prostitution is a good idea, it's a very politically difficult vote to make. You only have so much political capital. Why invest it voting against this bill when you have other priorities than making life easier for the Johns.
So I guess if you are really good at driving fast, speed limits are an imposition on your freedom?
