They agree on immigration, both illegal (border security) and skilled (H1B). They agree on trade policy and tariffs. They agree on public stakes in AI and semiconductor companies. They used to agree on foreign intervention, though Trump 47 less so.
Your evidence is the most absurd "antitrust" lawsuit in history. What law did they break? Macs come with Safari and Android devices come with Chrome, where's the lawsuits?
> Definitely under appreciated and under paid, but I learned a ton about working for a living.
a lot of the discussion about wages ignores the value of experience; students pay to spend their days learning but it's somehow unfair for someone to get paid to learn job skills that transfer to other jobs
I know a lot of coffee nerds and cold brew is disdained for not extracting enough flavors. This is just someone who never adapted to the world hoping the world will adapt to them.
> if MIT rejected applicants with better profiles because of the URM checkbox, in some sense they didn't deserve to get in
"better" is subjective and imo anyone who goes on to succeed at the school is as good as the next person; there are lots of other equally arbitrary decisions that go into college admissions
> I went to MIT, and to this day I wonder how much checking "Hispanic" helped me there and if I "deserved" to go.
the problem with aa is not about people getting in that didn't "deserve" it, it's people getting in who don't have the means to succeed; elite colleges brag about their diverse admissions but don't talk about people who go on to fail when they could've succeeded at less prestigious schools
> My personal, uneducated, unverified hypothesis was that companies overcompensate price increases for three main reasons:
profit-maximizing sellers can only increase prices if demand rises, otherwise they will sell fewer units at the higher price (and if they could've made more money selling fewer units at a higher price then we can assume that they were already doing that because they are profit maximizing)
the only way that demand can rise (allowing prices to rise) in unison is if there is more money going around, which is what happens when the money printer goes brr, which it did https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL
