  • Found in Table B-30 in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    • Race
    • Color
    • Religion
    • Retaliation (a.k.a. reprisal)
    • Sex/Gender (gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy)
    • National origin (not nationality)
    • Equal pay and compensation
    • Age (over 40)
    • Disability (physical or mental)
    • Genetic Information

    Yeah we have guidance to not discriminate and hire based on national origin. It’s better to look at the whole group of people we’ve hired and realize that there are a small number of people that do this. Still, I have conflicted feelings, and I’m trying my best to beat my biases. This is really the cost of moral actions, and it’s worth it.



  • I ran into an issue similar to this while hosting my server. Turns out there is a ”feature“ (seems bugged) on my ASUS router called “DDOS Protection” that mistook inbound lemmy traffic as attacks and just dropped them instead of forwarding them. Once that was disabled everything worked like normal. Maybe be worth trying.

    Be ready to use other methods to deal with DDOS though.








  • The idea behind social security is a forced time phased retirement program. The cap for input of money serves to cap the withdrawal later in years. If the wealthy put in a significantly larger amount while working they will be entitled to a proportionally larger about of withdrawal later. We’re just robbing peter to pay paul here and kicking the issue down the road.

    A real solution would be to produce a margin that is invested in a total market fund that would eventually create self sustaining returns to both: pay out current withdrawals as well as grow to match inflation and population growth. But that’s not going to happen.

    TLDR: The ponzi scheme will continue.
