@PhilWMagness@genepoolguide So what. We can decide to include appreciation in annual income, and certainly can do so for public securities, which are already cash for many tax purposes.
@wil_da_beast630 Aztecs limited canibals to ritualistic sacrifices of enemy war prisoners and subjects were born free, very different from chattel slavery. But the point is to debate approprate policies in light of our history, so that's why the discussion focuses on slavery in America.
@rationalhumanis@ArtemisConsort I am not making excuses just pointing out your ignorance in assuming UMC Black and UMC White families have equal resources. In many cases, even so-called poor White families have access to more wealth than UMC Black families through family ties.
@stellachenyl@rationalhumanis@ArtemisConsort BS! Elite universities, including elite public universities, do not admit students with a 2.9 GPA unless the student is an elite athlete.
@rationalhumanis@ArtemisConsort You're wrong because even at the same nominal income level, there is a h8luge wealth disparity between UMC White and Black families. Our income measures ignore wealth appreciation, so when you count that the UMC Black students still tend to be at a socioeconomic disadvantage.
Congratulations to friend and fellow traveller Claudia Sheinbaum. Winning the Presidency of Mexico is not just a confirmation of Andres Manuel's policies in favour of the poor but a giant leap for radical feminism and ecology. A rare glimmer of hope in a bleak era.
