The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Luckily, in the highest levels of government, corporate C- suites - the rule of the whites is slowly in decline.

But more needs to be done especially at the professional and academic levels.

Need many more high-tech immigrants into America, fast and consistently. Weird, those who champion the cause for immigrants south of the border - I don't see them loudly asking for the equal amount of high tech visa issuance....I wonder whyyyyyyyy ;)

Need more diversity in all college faculties, especially elite ones.

Need more unionization - from Starbucks to Google to Amazon to Apple - where shareholders who have long enjoyed tax deferred benefits - have to share more.

Who knows, maybe an excise tax on professionals with advanced degrees is a start. Maybe longer retirement ages for that demographic too. Monies can be used towards scholarships for People of Color. Perhaps limit the dollars that white professionals can put into retirement accounts, to whatever the national average for that mode of retirement planning is for people of color.

So many things still need to be done.

It's not just the 1%. It's time to come for the 20%'ers. And slowly - too slowly, in some corners, that has started.
