  • Idk if you know what you’re rallying against. People aren’t saying companies should just blindly hire someone. People are saying it’s worrying that the most profitable and culturally relevant industry isn’t attracting a diverse crowd. That could mean there’s rampant gatekeeping, nepotism, sexism, abuse, etc. it’s like when men complain of the ratio of men to women on dating apps—they’re not saying to pretend there’s more women (like scamming numbers or somehow tricking women to joining), they’re alerting people that the app doesn’t provide ideal conditions to attract more women (or I guess less men). Like a skewed dating app (except much much worse) having less diversity on tech hurts everyone.

    Inflation. It’s caused by printing money—full stop. “Economic easing” is a euphemism for it. It’s very easy to understand: adding money to the supply reduces the value of the existing supply. Fucking nerds in Wow understand this better than most people.

    Yet everyday some bi-partisan Econ Professor is paid a small dump truck of (probably printed) money to confuse this very simple issue. Why?

    It’s absolutely exhausted to ask someone “why can’t we just print more money” —because inflation. “So printing money causes inflation?” —no. ???
