I get how Amazon can be seen as revolutionary, but not how Uber (or even Lyft) is. I mean, when I think of catching a taxi back in the day, the only difference is that I made a phonecall instead of using an app to get the service. If it's the "gig economy-ness" of it, we had hacks in my hometown. Maybe there was a license requirement to be a hack, but it always felt like hacks were just regular schmoes who would charge a flat fee to take you somewhere.

But, I think that's the tricky part:

"And it's okay to praise Washington, Jackson, Franklin, etc for their part in founding and building the country and also condemn them for their wrongs."

How do you convince people that current portraits, monuments, etc aren't praising the good and bad OR (and I think this is much more the case) are praising the good and turning a blind eye to the bad?

It sounds like we need new portraits, monuments, etc to replace what we have currently.

That's if you can afford to do so; otherwise, there are way more options for cheap processed foods than there were 30 years ago.

Revenge isn't the answer. The answer for the problem presented is for other groups to receive the same empathy that poor whites are receiving. For other groups the answer is "we'll build more jails".

But you've missed his point about the racial gender make up of those who are employed in those types of jobs. Especially in places with "many opportunities".
