cheonic729··on Tech companies are clamoring to give you credit cards
> The entire idea behind credit cards is to force processing fees upon store owners.

No. As a consumer, I enjoy immense value by carrying around zero cash. In fact, I don't even carry around physical cards (thank you Apple/Google Pay).

> I can guarantee you your language skills will negatively impact your performance.

As it should.

If someone is a poor English speaker, at an English-speaking company, they absolutely should be penalized.

Not everyone is equal, was equal, nor will be. Some people are born blind too. Shouldn't we adjust our hiring practices for them too?

cheonic729··on Young U.S. men having a lot less sex in the 21st century, study shows
> What about the other economic factors?

This would be true if women also demonstrated a decline in sex. However, women are having sex at the same rate as men.

The problem is not economic. It's winner-take-all as the top comments mention.

The causal reason cannot apply to men and women equality (eg, economic). It must overwhelmingly affect men.

cheonic729··on SoftBank launches $100m minorities startup fund
> I agree that there should be more funds that support all kinds of backgrounds so that we can increase the diversity of people in the VC space.

And what happens when a black-founder VC fund underperforms an Asian-founder VC fund?

Will we need another level of VC funds to fix that?

> As usual, if you want to be healthy, you pay extra.

It's been like that for centuries. Healthier food costs more than unhealthy food. That's why poor people have a lower life expectancy than their rich counterparts.

You seriously think all people are equal and/or should be treated equally and/or should have equal outcomes? Ha.
