This is because the disadvantages are not seen by white people. Traffic stops that turn into prison or death. Home sellers not selling because the buyers have black skin. Job interviews not granted because the name sounds black. There's no way for white people to notice these things, and because they don't notice these things, they often think that such discrimination doesn't exist and such stories are made up. Instead, many white people just see how other white people have more and see that as discrimination against themselves.

While this did happen in the past and I'm sure there are some rare isolated incidents of this today....it is largely a thing of the past.

And for the past decade or two....the ONE category it is been perfectly acceptable to put down, make fun of and discriminate against is the white male.....so, I don't buy the priv. Bullshit...sorry.

Not like gender has had an effect on societies for millennia or anything.

For millennia we've had male and female (not bothering with the statistically insignificant unfortunate folks that are hermaphrodites)...dick or no dick...etc....and it's been pretty easy to deal with all this time.

Simple and no societies had problems with it...until about the last 10 years or so when some idiots tried to change natures basic rules.

Men...women....simple, who needs to study that shit other than with regard to some biology studies?

Biden's economy was GREAT. It certainly was a lot better than this economy is now. I wasn't worried about losing my job. I wasn't worried about a recession. I wasn't worried about prices doubling or more on many things.

Where do you live...maybe things are regional and just bad in your neck of the woods.

Where I'm at in the US...gas prices are down, I find grocery prices are down in some areas, about the same in others...inflation is down...job numbers nationally are UP...

Stock market seems to be coming back up...

It isn't so bad where I sit.....where the hell do you live where it is so bad?

It's better than trump's economy. Biden didn't crash the economy on purpose.

What's crashed??

Gas prices are down...stock market overall going up....for the most part grocery prices are ok...

I've yet to see anything crash so far....inflation is down.

and a black woman who did not want to tank the economy and actually had some sensible policy goals

Err...the same black woman that said she couldn't think of a single thing she'd do different than Joe Biden's economy ?

The same black woman that could not put together a comprehensive set of sentences that weren't a word salad even if her speech was scripted for her.

And C'mon....the fucking cackle was cringe...and done WAY too often at inappropriate times.

I'll happily take orange man over that train wreck any day of the week.

Don may not be that on the ball, but she's about 10x worse.

Mind you with the way voter suppression works

What fucking voter suppression?!?!?

There was no more than there was in 2020....which as the reports then said..."no problems with the safest elections".

I'm sorry, asking for an ID to vote is NOT suppression...just common sense.

Hell, even liberal Wisconsin just voted for voter ID overwhelmingly.

For fucks sake....just how did the republicans swing and suppress the vote in all of those democrat held and run swing states and strongholds?!!?

It's ok to gripe for for God's sake...get a new talking point that has a bit more substance to it, eh?

Well...all those graduating with degrees in worthless things like gender studies....who actually thought they'd get a job with a degree like that....?

The changes Europe just made will be here for a while.

What changes did Europe make...?

I don't really pay much attention to what they do or want to do....I'm puzzled why they seem to have so much interest in what goes on over here and want to poke their noses into it....

When a demographic group is already highly advantaged,

I'm getting on in years...and I'm STILL trying to find my 'advantage' and supposed "privilege" I'm supposed to have....

I've been asking my long time friends...they don't seem to be able to find all these advantages either....

Doctors and nurses are starting to come into Canada and set up practice

Why would they want to do that...can't make any significant money in Canada, not like in the US.

after the Trump administration froze U.S. government funding linked to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Well, frankly I don't see what funding of "DEI" research would have to do with real science...

I guess I'd welcome the EU to fund DEI research and so forth....here I'd rather fund research into real needs like cancer.

Are there really THAT many scientists out there who need research funding on the topic of DEI?

Ideally the systems are as much domestically sources as possible

Well, they said that they produce/reproduce many of the parts they need in house already....

Can' t get more domestic than that!!

Perhaps sticking as much as possible to using the old equipment would be a good plan then...?

LOL....Hell, I learned about the 'cat' theory from an episode of The Big Bang Theory ....

I'd never heard of it prior to that....

Then again, I didn't study too deeply into physics....

Fireworks are manufactured elsewhere and sold across state lines, yet nobody has a problem with states banning fireworks due to wildfire danger.

While I've not been in every state...I'm not aware of any state that bans fireworks on a state basis....

I only know of bans of shooting them in cities and maybe other areas that are fire dangers, but I've not heard of a state wide prohibition of selling them or posessing them.

If they can ban abortions in Texas under the guise of States Rights and make the people of Texas suffer through the consequences, then why can't California ban gasoline powered vehicle

Well, it may be along the lines of, that the Feds can regulate interstate commerce ....and cars are manufactured and sold across the states....an so, CA banning a broad category would have an effect on interstate commerce .

Abortion, really doesn't fit in that category of trade....without a LOT of stretching the legal terms of things....
