This isn’t true as I was mistaken. The gap apparently is 1 cent when adjusting for positions. I think this is an overly simplistic view which unduly shifts the blame to women, when in fact society and our economic systems push women towards particular jobs (or motherhood) and compensates far less.

Hers a source I linked elsewhere:

I’m mistaken on that point then, though there is still a measurable gap. There is a large disparity in the “unadjusted” numbers which the article you sent notes is just as important as the adjusted one. It represents a power disparity. Ty for the correction

Here’s another reliable source:

The gap exists between identical positions – that’s like the whole thing

I did that for years and had more wonderfully nice and thankful calls than I did bad ones, but man it sure feels like they evened out anyway.

I’m so tired of the media circus shit. I wish we could elect someone utterly boring and pragmatic :(

I’d rather have a decent person who doesn’t r*pe minors

It’s true that malpractice is a thing, and lord knows I’ve met plenty of doctors ranging from asshole to idiot. You’re especially at risk if you’re a female or minority which is just another layer of bullshit with healthcare outcomes. That said, I’ll take the person with a decade of school and required practice over a chiro any day. Sucks that it’s still something of a crapshoot :/

I base that solely off the fact that some have MDs and a dislike of sweeping generalizations… no matter how true 😅

That’s exactly my point. Gold shills sit around and wax on about how it’s a cure-all and how the gold standard was better blah blah without understanding the basic reasons why it had to go.

Yeah? What should back the currency? What would have happened to the dollar if it was still pegged to gold? What is the difference between an artificially scarce natural resource and a currency backed by a superpower?

My brother was in total kidney failure and his chiro said the pain was likely “toxins” released from his session. Utter quack. They arent all hacks, but they can do real damage. They can paralyze you for life or even worse. I hope you will not have firsthand experience
