  3. A study of STEM graduation rates and affluence (>100 countries, 25 years,) found that as societal affluence increases, so does the gender gap in STEM graduation rates. A doubling of GDP per capita was associated with a 42% increase in the male/female STEM graduation odds ratio. The increase in male graduation is greater than the decrease in female graduation rates.

  8. There's this tenacious idea that in an unequal society, those at the top are the winners. That is, if you manage to avoid oppression, and if you manage to do the oppressing yourself, then you've got yourself a good life.

    I'm a white man in an affluent country, and I'm here to tell you why that's bullshit.

  11. A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin

    When you let money speak for you, it drowns out anything else you meant to say.

  13. @rgegriff @GeePawHill Yes. Let's say that the myth has now been busted that extreme #affluence inevitably leads to #philanthropy. Perhaps this was a thorough forty year experiment to see whether "trickle-down theory" holds water. The results are in!

  15. I think the most difficult thing for me about getting older is coming to terms with all the things I am never going to be in the time that is left to me in this life, and letting go of all the things I've acquired that really no longer have a role in my life today or are likely to have any role in my life in the future, because they all represent a significant investment of the meager wealth I've earned in my life.

    I often say that
    #minimalism is an #affectation of #affluence, because it's easy to own few things when you are secure in the knowledge that you can afford to buy anything you discover you need, if you don't already have it.

    The main reason why poor people tend to hoard seemingly useless items is because the future is difficult to predict, save for insofar as when you are poor you can say with some certainty that you are not likely to be flush with liquidity at the moment a need arises in the future, and you know that most things are out of your financial reach.

  18. And to Russ Mitchell's point, if you're getting an #EV because it's a fancy new toy, perhaps reconsider your why, as #consumption and #affluence go hand in hand with the #ClimateEmergency.

    But also, as I hear again and again from climate scientists, we must stop burning fossil fuels. The burning is our biggest problem.

    Do EVs still get power from fossil fuel-run plants? Yup. But that will soon change.

    There's no perfect #ClimateSolution. But a used or rented EV is a great place to start.

  21. Race/ethnic income inequality narrowed somewhat between 1959-2015 but remains stark with whites least likely to be poor; Asians most likely to be affluent; Black people and Native Americans much more likely to be poor and less likely to be affluent; Hispanics in between.

    Of course he wants an AI to produce an unending stream of senseless glib toxic lies. Fortunately only RWNJs, Russia and chaos agents will want this or fund this BS robot.
