This. Which was an unintended consequence of something else--specifically an attempt to end discrimination in job testing. In fact, it's almost the textbook example of unintended consequences.
Really? Here's an idea, stop being racist and categorizing us by race, rather than by economic levels. Yes, I'm calling you racist. The poor all have issues. Tossing "hey white guy, you've get it better than the other poor people" feels vaguely like someone telling a woman she was only half raped.
There are some really awful studies on this recently. Essentially, it's easier to get a job outside of your field of experience if you're currently employed than it is to get hired within your field of experience if you've been unemployed for 6 months or more. Thus: Currently working IT guy wants to become hairdresser has an easier time becoming one than an actual hairdresser who hasn't worked for a year.
I always dreamt of just leaving and flipping off the boss. However, once I'd found a better job, that feeling was replaced by doing the "classy" thing, giving notice, and feeling better about myself as I left the jerks to their jerkery.
Yeah, they admitted the mistake AND apologized. To make matters more interesting, it was the arch-enemy of the left, Ronald Reagan, who signed it and gave the speech: "Yet we must recognize that the internment of Japanese-Americans was just that: a mistake. For throughout the war, Japanese-Americans in the tens of thousands remained utterly loyal to the United States. Indeed, scores of Japanese-Americans volunteered for our Armed Forces, many stepping forward in the internment camps themselves. The 442d Regimental Combat Team, made up entirely of Japanese-Americans, served with immense distinction to defend this nation, their nation. Yet back at home, the soldier's families were being denied the very freedom for which so many of the soldiers themselves were laying down their lives."
"will still walk like a man and look like a man" Well, except for the carrying a purse part, of course. Nobody's going to honestly mistake you for a lady. They're just going to think that the man over there looks silly carrying a purse.
In California, if you tried the "trimmed for safety", and you kill the oak tree, you're screwed. Oaks are simply sacred. The fine alone would put you and all your offspring in the poorhouse. I drive, daily, around an oak tree "roundabout" put in place to keep that tree alive. I'll admit, I like it, but the proposal to move failed as the chance it would die was too high.
That they fire 90% of them from the NSA, then hire them over at the newly created NTA ( we have to increment one...), then state the NSA isn't doing anything wrong anymore?
I'm not trying to sound like a heartless jerk, but I find that interesting how the body adapts to things like this I think for a lot of people, eating becomes habit ( it's noon, eat!) more than hunger need. It also makes me wonder if more people are out there like you without this drive.
I dunno. British The Office was good, but the American The Office was good in a completely different way. I never saw IT crowd or Coupling in the US. Top Gear US bites, it tries too hard.
Wait... She was born male, changed to female, now writes about female equality? There's just so much possibly repressed/wrong/distorted in that concept I fear engaging in this conversation might drive me insane.
I thought my friend with the psychiatrist parent had issues...
I kinda like that idea. The next time around, he comes back as a banana. Everyone else runs around, then they show the banana. Universe saved, close up on the banana. I'm assuming, over time , the banana wouldn't spoil. After all, the banana would control time.
You know, it's funny... I've travelled a lot, lived in other countries. I've heard lots and lots of stories about what jerks Americans are (I'm an American myself). Yet I've never seen more than a small amount of it. Usually some much older tourist couple totally out of their comfort zone freaking out. I have, however, had multiple times when someone has spoken to me and said "I hate Americans, but you're OK", as if I'm supposed to bark like a happy puppy and smile. So in my experience, the Americans have been pretty normal--some jerky, others nice, but the rude complaints about how we're jerks and idiots, directly to my face, have been pretty consistent. What makes it worse is, when I'd dig about why they thought that, it was usually because of a TV SHOW, or something else they'd never actually encountered in person.

Bangladesh is the country that got screwed by the Indian Partition, and then by Pakistan.
This.

True, however....
You're leaving out SS deductions, FICA, SDI, the usual nonsense that's not part of your tax rate but is deducted from your paycheck.

What's So Mo?
And I was just about to begin work at Gluteous MaxiMouse technical support and pet store. Damn.

I've never heard the term "grocer's apostrophe" before. Learn something new every day. Thanks.

Yes, you can always hire a manservant to lug around your crap. Preferably on a silver platter.
You know what they say about assume, right?
Perhaps you don't.
If you're tucking in your polo shirt, why not just drop your phone down in the shirt.
Why the white and brown? Unless you're saying you've never seen a rich brown person, or a poor white person. Cuz that sounds kinda racist to me...
You ignore virtual realities. People in those don't smell bad or complain.
That may lead to even further loner regression.

I assumed they did that to add a possible "sexual tension" at some point in the future. Sigh.
