That’s not true, the reason why Taiwan is so far ahead is because of the US and the contributions from LLNL. That’s part of how they’ve been able to force ASML to not sell to China.

Huh TIL it’s a kind of algae, which in turn is not a part of the plantae kingdom. Neat.

You’re paying with your body, the work can be very dangerous, and it takes a while to ramp up to decent pay. On top of that the pay isn’t always going to be better than a degree (iirc research has concluded that lifetime earnings for trades are behind degrees), ignoring countries with sensible tertiary education options.

Trades are not equivalent. And education is still a significant indicator of political alignment.

Honestly, this is a great example of the empathy gap.

The reality of this all is rather complex but I think the greatest issue is fundamentally the empathy gap. Men’s issues are not recognized as issues, they’re just dismissed out of hand. I’m talking about the easy things like the sentencing and education gaps.

We need to start the discourse that these are very real problems that are worth addressing.

Another problem I personally run into is how it’s acceptable to discriminate against men, “kill all men” is acceptable but “kill all race” isn’t. Neither should be and we don’t recognize it as a problem, instead defaulting to arguments that are considered horrendous in another context.

I’ve been wondering how much of this contract is pity on Boeing or Boeing capitulating to Trump.
