In "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together", Heather McGhee uses the metaphor of the public swimming pool to explain her thesis.
In the mid-20th century, thousands of public swimming pools were built across the United States for community enjoyment. These pools were often funded by tax dollars and were large, resort-style pools that families could enjoy. However, the vast majority of these public pools were segregated, barring people of color, specifically Black people, from access.
When the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964, ending segregation, many white communities didn't respond by integrating these pools; instead, they drained the pools completely. Some went as far as filling the pool with dirt or concrete, or letting them fall into disrepair. It was a drastic measure ensuring that if they couldn't have the pool to themselves, no one could use it.
McGhee uses this metaphor as a representative example of the zero-sum game mindset, the idea that any gain for the Black community is seen as a loss for the white community. It also highlights the cost of racism: communities chose to lose a valuable public resource (the public swimming pool) rather than share it equitably.
The public swimming pool narrative is a recurrent theme in the book. It illustrates how racism harms everyone, not just those being discriminated against. It's an example of the societal and communal self-sabotage that occurs when racism drives decision-making, showing that racism doesn't just hurt the targeted group but deprives everyone of shared public resources and opportunities.
While 30% is steep I don’t think Apple is at fault here. You wanna be able to use their carefully constructed walled garden with security protections, servers, payment system and users? You have to pay to play.
Fight for your right to repair:
Forget about Monsanto. The point I wanted to make is that FB is that they have a lot of power to shape culture/discourse and take little to no responsibility when things go wrong.
Until I don't see a change on their behavior/policies (by them or some regulating power). I will be weary about working with them or using their products.
It comes down to what do you value in life.
Do you wanna literally help promote fascism and misinformation? Go work at FB and moonshine at Monsanto on your free time.
What I did is, buy an XPS 13 preinstalled with Ubuntu 16.04.
It is the best of both worlds: support for the latest hardware and trusted Unix like system
cheers!
I am by no means defending Jekyll. I think it is an OK solutions for the problem in question. The only reason why I prefer it, is for the markdown (human friendly) formatting.
Unfortunately I cannot sympathize with a company which it's valuation is $2.8 billon, and cannot handle staying up or a large userbase.
