The takeaway from this election is not that a majority of America wanted Trump, but rather that the downside risk of his election wasn't enough to turn out Hillary voters to the polls. Team Hillary, we didn't show up and the numbers show it.

@LEK social equality is a *very* personal and basic need....If you're the one who isn't being treated equally. Whiteness affords you the privilege to not consider "social issues" since you're the default.

And Therein really lies the issue. Every trump supporter isn't a klansmen, but every trump supporter simply doesn't see the need of human dignity for their neighbor as much as they see the need for them to maintain their middle class lifestyle.

Remember guys, there are millions of people poorer than the whites in the rust belt. I know it's hard to believe, but they do exist. They're the ones who have actually been ignored. For longer too. If your reaction to this statement is dismissal, you further my point.

@sc1 I agree with you, but I would argue that being able to have a job keep yourself off the streets would take foremost priority. Social issues are much more important to us because we are already financially secure (or have the means to be because of our educational background)

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me.

I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?

I currently work at a senior level in product management, I have around 4 years of experience in the field. I'm severely underpaid and feel quite undervalued by the company.

My PERM is processing so I can't even make a move for another 6-8 months and I'm scared of doing so in light of thr current job market. I'm struggling to deal with my situation. Help?

Hi Fishes

A bit off topic but relevant.

Did anyone hear abt TekFog &
Persistent Systems Limited ? Did they develop it ? What's going on ? I wanted to apply (location preference) but am worried now if company is into these sort of unethical activities even more so if they don't even know about it.

Does anyone has any insights into it beyond the company blog post claiming they are not involved. Also how is the work culture there, are these sort things even believable for such company ?
