  2. ​ @c.v.4070 As if the previous lassiez-faire period of the Gilded Age was really that golden?

  3. There seems to be a definite inflation of expectations among women who largely still seek hypergamy. In fact there's dating app data indicating an overwhelming female gaze towards the top 20% of men, while dudes maintain a more balanced view in rating attractiveness.

  9. It needs to be though. WFH cottage industries was the pre-factory norm, and factories are only getting more automated. There's no technical barrier to WFH on routine office tasks, just organizational ones.
