What I heard is that residents started evacuation by themselves a couple days in advance.

When they say they feel they are hurt / offended, do they know this is a typical easy thing for women to do in the society, not men?

I don't know, maybe everything is sexist. Maybe we should expect a society where men and women cry equally.

Just checked, by a little bit of googling, I did find it in a gov document.

Our university forces us to change the password every 150 days. It is such a pain in the s, because there are too many apps on too many devices need to update the password. I asked the IT department, can you guys consider to stop this and find an alternative security policy? The answer is no, because this security policy is in the state law.

Not firing this person would have been accused a Title VII violation and opened them to lawsuits.

Why not? Aren't those people also creating hostile environment for minorities?

Will Google also fire employees who 1) publicly support him in internal discussion, or 2) privately support him?

Based on the reasoning of Google's excutives, I don't see why they would not do 1 or 2.

So you lack basic reading skills. I quote "not to get the opportunity at all due to systemic discrimination in hiring", you read "systemic discrimination in hiring". Apparently, you lost "not to get the opportunity at all" and "due to". Don't you see that?

"not to get the opportunity at all due to systemic discrimination in hiring" - this is not reality but only your imagination.

You only said "probably not", so you are also implying it is probably true. Why didn't you just say "absolutely not"?

New comment by xname2 in "Minimum Wage and Job Loss: One Alarming Seattle Study Is Not the Last Word"

xname2 — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 04:33:15 +0000

It's funny, if you really believe yourself, how could you ask the final question? How can a minimum wage increase in one rich neighborhood be compared to a poor neighborhood? How about different industry? How about different businesses? The assumption of your question is a deep believe of central planning and numeric abstraction of the society, which is an ideology. So stop pretending you are free of ideology.

What if they ban Digital Ocean etc.? I won't even be able to setup the VPN, right?

In that case, why would the person choose to do skateboarding? Also, does the individual has any family / friend / church support? If you have no family, no friend, not involved in any community, why do you risk yourself for fun? Because "the society" have to pay for your stupidity?

"2) if you can't pay, you die in the gutter."

No. It is simply false. Even a 100% free market does not exclude charity.

No. When I said "serious problem" I meant the patient. Yes, people need to pay bills, but it is not your employer's responsibility.

Is it possible to find a less demanding (also less payment) job? Would this help?
