| Growing worry I have are the dozens of newly minted corporate elites that will continue to wreck havoc on the tech industry mandating their golden paths while America still lacks medicare for all, college for all, and universal childcare. If you think Sam Altman is bad for the industry, imagine what 200 of him will be like! |

| I was wondering about this the other week. Is there a chart, somewhere, like a family tree, of what the Apple and Microsoft stock "ordinary millionaires" went on to do? |

| ▲ | dofm 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | No idea where this comes from; I wasn't talking about a literal family tree but a figurative one (I grew up with Rock Family Trees) Also: Altman is married. | | |

| We had universal childcare until we converted single-income families into dual-income families in order to make the boomers who they bought houses from rich. |

If her man gets into trouble, she wants a plan B, for her and her children. I don't think anyone was thinking about how that would prop up the housing market 30 years later. | | |
| ▲ | CGMthrowaway 39 minutes ago | parent [-] | | That's a nice story, but the truth is when women first entered the workforce in meaningful numbers, it was primarily unmarried women. Society strongly expected women to leave the labor force once married, and businesses actively banned married women from working |

| ▲ | philipallstar 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | No one has full agency over their life. The men who generally work harder, longer, and for more of their lives, that are shorter as a result, don't have fully agency. Having a boss isn't agency. | | |
