This has NOTHING to do with "evil employers" treating their employees "badly". This area suffers from exactly the same problems as any other high density urban area on the planet for the same reasons. There are too many people that want to live in the same place driving supply and demand for real estate completely out of whack.
You have the same exact problems (even worse) in "European Socialist Utopias".
Quitting petrochemicals cold turkey would be an apcalyptic nightmare scenario. It would we a race to see which one of us ended up dead first. You might go first despite me having a very big lead on you.
Your entire society runs on energy much of it derived from fossil fuels and all manner of critical devices also largely composed of fossil fuels.
You can't live in the future (like some Apple weenie), you have to deal with the world and technology as it exists now. Otherwise you end up with power outages, disease, starvation, and death.
The grand flaw in the whole original premise is the idea that all that Bill needed was to know how to code. Building a successful business takes a bit more than that. The ivory tower nit wits don't understand what they are supposed to be measuring so they declare that it doesn't exist at all.
The entire narrative plays great with people who don't want to take any kind of responsibility for themselves. They can easily externalize their own failings.
You are confusing equality of opportunity with equality of outcomes. All you're doing is alienating a lot of people that would otherwise be sympathetic to "the problem".
Your stupid narrative is also actively discouraging people. It's like you are trying to beat girls away from the profession with a stick. It's the exact opposite of the glamorization of law or medicine that has existed for pretty much forever.
Hating on geeks harder isn't going to bring more girls into the tent.
It's a solid statement about them being ignored by THE NEWS MEDIA. It's a pretty blatant example of the media lying to you. Whatever agenda you wand to support beyond that is dubious.
This is a great example of media bias, not a confirmation of the victim hood narrative.
That entire rainbow umbrella pretty much ensures that any sort of nuance will be completely lost as all manner of things (big and small) and wildly different things get lumped together.
The courts have shit to do with this. It's just some deeply unhinged fantasy concocted by someone with an axe to grind. Otherwise, ALL of the Dallas stores would be closing rather than just the ones in the rich northern suburbs.
These jokers aren't even trying to be subtle with their trolling/journalism anymore.
> People eat shit because they're poor, and they're poor because they're exploited
Except people who live in McMansions eat the exact same shit despite not being poor and not being terribly well exploited. Everyone engages in the stupid including people for whom you can't spin such an obvious SJW narrative.
> Facts: The sworn enemy of inbred Conservatism in 2019.
You act like liberals don't engage in constant unhinged hysterics and shameless distortion. This includes so-called "journalists" that are supposed to be "objective".
The same reason you bookmark anything. You find something interesting and you want to jump to it again. The reasons for doing that in a bit of video is pretty obvious. This kind of feature is even baked into consumer video playback appliances. They're just static bookmarks set by the content creator.
AOC is an innumerate moron that doesn't understand what things cost. All she will do is make sure everyone suffers as important things are handed over completely to the government and then deprived of necessary resources.
The "poor" that rich liberals sneer at so much understand this because unlike rich liberals they have some experience with government and government programs.
They are acutely aware of how government really works.
> Libertarians believe, first and foremost, in kicking the poor.
Democrats do it far better. They hand over their own social responsibilities to government and then whine about taxes just like anyone else. The end result are piss poor government services that are gravely under funded.
If you point this out, liberals will either deny that there is a problem or they will cheer on the "cost cutting".

So far Republicans aren't advocating "punching commies" or trying to take down Project Gutenberg.
No. We rationally acknowledge that they exist in multiple jurisdictions at the same time.
That is worse rather than better in terms of "lets assume everyone is rich".

That is utter bullshit and a blatant falsehood. Were you just born yesterday? Some of us weren't and we have good memories.
If that's the best you've got then you've proven the opposing position.
I'm not sure you've even stepped foot in a Walmart. Although you don't even need to go that far since they have a website for their pickup service.
Store brands that you want to inspire mindless hysteria over have been common probably since before you were even born.
Walmart in particular is all about what sells and they have the IT chops to best understand what does sell.

Sure. Let's shred our civil liberties "for the children".
This whole narrative is shameless spin demonizing tools that allow individuals freedom to exercise free will.
Some of us are just genuine social libertines and find the new Victorian mindset appalling.

The idea that unequal results equals racism predates Obama. This is particularly true of the Fair Housing Act.
Obama just helped put mainstream this kind of thinking and supercharged it.

You said it.
You mean Amazon is finally making a profit? That's the real news right there. ;-pppppp
> yup the people that live in shithole states saw a boost.
You are working hard to make sure the rest of the country feels no guilt for their shadenfruede.
It's a POISON. We use it to KILL things that like the same kind of food we do. What's to struggle with?

Doesn't alter the obvious allergic reaction many of us have experienced from consuming these things from external sources.

That's only an issue now because of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
