Is it really such a stretch to imagine that maybe some people really don’t correlate those things? People aren’t research papers, we have multiple cognitive distortions working all the time obfusticating the truth, but tech like this can he

The issue is wealth inequality - DINK households with 2 six figure incomes massively dwarf what’s possible for a regular American family (one breadwinner, 2.4 kids) - they’re the top 5% which isn’t Elon Musk territory, but as a group it’s d

You are owed a rejection letter but we shouldn’t shame companies for sending them, who cares what platitudes they give you, all that matters is you didn’t get the job and they are doing the courtesy of telling you. You would be surprised ho
