If your only concept of privilege is monetary - sure. I bet a plumber would love to be able to go to work everyday on a bike. Or forget a commute - I bet a plumber would love to work from home. I didn’t even consider the cost- interesting take though.

Re: Epstein Acosta was sent to south florida on June 11 2005. (according to his bio) The investigation started March 14. Are U.S. attorneys usually assigned mid-year? Who chose Acosta? How did they (potentially) know that he would “play ball” and give Epstein an incredibly weak punishment?

Well that’s definitely one opinion. How many buses full of 100 passengers use LSD per hour? Because it seems like reducing traffic capacity by 25% just so that lane is empty most of the time - makes less sense than just doing what’s shown in the video. Everyone is traveling at the same speed.

Total bullsh*t. Put everyone in a room and let them pass the same test - if the best person is a white man - good for him - he just learned that other people are good competitors. But when women and POC are prevented from even taking the test - the winner of the test is weak by definition.

That’s incorrect. Giving everyone access to university and professions doesn’t hurt anyone - unless the person you feel sad about can’t compete with women or minorities. We have had decades of discrimination against women and minorities because white men have always ALWAYS been in control.
