Next they'll blame voters for the rise in suicide bombings of CEOs

So systemic racism still effects opportunities of minoritiy communities up to today and you understand that.

How do we counteract this systemic racism without systemic changes? You want to change things without changing anything. Making people educated doesn't fix racism.

What if I told you that DEI was the result of an educated society making the most effective changes to the system to counteract systemic racism?

I would argue that if your goal is to fix systemic racism, a much more effective approach would be to target the pipeline problem early on by focusing on improving education systems in poor/racial minority communities.

Well the Republicans are getting rid of DEI and the Department of Education.

So our education is about to get a lot worse, but at least minorities will have a harder time getting jobs!

DEI didn't force anyone to hire anybody

If a corporation wants free money then they can staff a diverse workforce. It's literally always been a choice.

Only the idiots are convinced this is a real issue at all. It's a distraction from actual problems in the world that negativity effect people.

DEI laws were required to be created during integration because non whites were being denied loans, jobs, and houses based on race, those are the real DEI laws they want to repeal along side diversity subsidies.

BTW incentivizing diversity measurably improves the wealth/income gap between whites/non whites today and helps upward mobility, which is why they still exist.,

It's insane how conditioned people are on price fixing.

The US has used it many times to make necessary adjustments to society throughout our country's history.

Rent caps were one of the most influential and positive policies of the New Deal.

It's not an inherently bad policy.

If there is something inherently unethical like overcharging for a need (yes in our modern world being educated is a need to actually participate in society), then it is acceptable for the government to step in and draw the line.

Student debt should be totally canceled, college should be free, and the government should take a fraction of what was being extorted out of students by predatory loan companies and pay it directly to the schools. Let the unethical loan sharks fucking eat the loss for trying to run a racket. They shouldn't have more power than the god damn government.

Same with housing, it's a public secret that massive housing corps colluse using price fixing algorithms, it's correct in this situation for the government to step in and force rent caps. Let the unethical slumlords eat the loss. They shouldn't have more power than the god damn government.

I wonder when we'll get a president who campaigns on doubling everyone's lottery odds?

Yeah because nobody would ever ever shoot someone with a stale gun.

You are a dumb bootlicker. It means you suck the cocks of authoritarian strong men in absence of a real ideology.

I hope one day you accidentally do mushrooms and discover self reflection.

Oh well I live in the US where the less fortunate are put in prison and forced to be slaves.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

When I am allowed to choose to spend my time working twoards the actual benefit of society for a fair wage call me.

Until then I'm not doing any of this voluntarily, it's against my will. Like a slave

It's a constant fight for survival, we've made the horrible mistake of modeling our systems off of the cruel fuedal hierarchies of the past and the cruel uncaring themes of nature. These are things a fair civil society is supposed to oppose and ours is failing.

Sorry if I can't delude myself into being a happy slave for some boomer on the internet lol

I didn't ask for a pedant.

Gun buyback programs remove guns from circulation which is inherently a good thing if you want gun violence to decrease.

Buyback programs ended gun violence in Australia you bootlicker

Generally buyback programs are a success because they reduce the amount of guns.

Sorry you would rather pretend in some made up situation that there is an infinite amount of guns and nothing can be done to stop the unlimited flow of guns.

It's fact that GDP is totally detached from quality of life.

We need better metrics for success before we make ourselves extinct

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

The difference is in your example the majority of your labor benefits you.

Currently most working people pay off the cost that their existence incurs before age 40. But most people won't get to retire.

Every year the ratio of work/life keeps getting shifter further away from life. And pretending like Capitalism does us any favors is just ignoring the more practical solutions at this point.

The only narrative here is observable reality, you are allowed to look at the same fucking graphs I did.

Senators aren't the president. Do you know how many people literally just vote for the president and leave the rest blank? Millions.

The dems didn't have a candidate people wanted to come out for, and the people who stayed home were older more conservative people who vote democrat because they don't like the current republican party. And they stayed home because the canidate changed, not the policy.

Im sorry these subjects make you feel insecure. Maybe try self reflecting and growing instead of screaming about how the neolibs should have magically changed their stripes.
