Just because the NYT does the wrong thing, doesn't make it right for us to do.

Stop pointing the finger at other people and take responsibility for your own actions.



The NYT started pointing fingers and not taking actions.

Please stop the easy moralizing.


"They started it"? That's your defense? What grade are we in?

Believe it or not, both you and the New York Times can both be doing the wrong thing.


> What grade are we in?

Wait, if you can't argue logically or decently, just say so. It is understandable to get angry when confronted with logic.

> Believe it or not, both you and the New York Times can both be doing the wrong thing.

I am not the king of Tech.

Here let me spell it out in an easy-to-digest manner:

If in other privileged industries rate of hiring poor folks is lower than that of tech, tech is actually doing good and not wrong. Is that clear?

You assume tech is in the wrong automatically without rationally analyzing it. The way to rationally analyze it is to compare with other rich industries.

Once again, we should stop moral aggrandizing and argue scientifically.


Excuse me, I did misunderstand you. Let's try this again:

"What they are doing is worse"? That's your defense? What grade are we in?

Believe it or not, the New York Times can both be doing something worse than you, and you can still be doing the wrong thing.

The goal here is "treat people fairly" not "treat people less unfairly than somebody else so you can feel superior".

> I am not the king of Tech.

Just the defender of Tech.
