    Sure there is: Control.

    People not utterly dependant on government just don't 'love the state' enough. They have a plan to fix that.

    Politicians love to pass feel good laws for their successors to ignore. If it's effective date is after the next election, it's just posing.

    This is simple: Either batteries 'moore's' law analog will holdup and battery powered cars will win on the market, or it won't and this law will be ignored. In either case, this law is an ass.

    So, like the sib says. Same, same.

    Northern European governments aren't exactly a diverse group. Capitalist welfare states as far as the eye can see.

    Southern European governments are similar, but more corrupt and less functional.

    So your basing your position on 'pictures'? Please try harder, that's just pitiful

    I have yet to hear a reasonable, non-sexist, explanation for why girls math scores go to _shit_ right about puberty. Perhaps sexism is correct?

    That variation is enough, by itself, to explain why women are underrepresented in tech. Tits (especially nice ones) give girls unearned power, just when they _should_ be applying themselves academically. Unfortunately, that power has a short expiration date. If they realize what happened, it's too late to switch back to a tough subject.

    If my supposition is correct, nice tits will correlate with not working in tech (Moobs aren't 'nice', by definition BTW). Which has been my experience.

    You gotta admit, women in tech are as 'unfortunate looking' as men in tech.

    The feds burned their credibility in the last election. Until a bunch of feds go to prison, the _whole_ organization is assumed corrupt.

    'They' bugged a presidential candidate (for the appointed successor and using fiction produced by that same crook's campaign to get the warrant) less than 2 years ago. All while angling for personal advancement.

    Those feds all belong in 'federal pound them in the ass prison', all of them that knew and didn't 'whistle blow'.

    The distribution in FOSS devs mirrors the distribution of qualified college grads.

    If something bad or unnatural is affecting the demo, it's happening right around puberty. That's a simple fact, but has no simple explanation. Maybe tits do make you worse at math, maybe tits just enable their owner operator to get men to do the hard work for her and it gets to be a habit.
