Unpartitioned Variance 50% off<p>OK, I have a lot of beefs with organizations I also really like (or sometimes love). On FB there is a group called "The Professor Is Out" (<a href="https://c.im/tags/tpio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tpio</span></a>?). They are a support page for people leaving academia, which is something I want to do, for many of the same reasons as everyone else.</p><p>However, TPIO mods can be a bit... well.</p><p>Any post suggesting we think carefully about how and where we jump from academic gets something between a smackdown ("you're not supporting people in toxic situations") to just being deleted. </p><p>I found this out when I saw a string of posts suggesting that humanities profs (who have fewer non-academic options than some other fields) jump to join <a href="https://c.im/tags/educorporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>educorporate</span></a> instructional technology companies or do <a href="https://c.im/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ux</span></a> for FAANG corps and their associates. I made what I thought was a very careful post saying you gotta do what you gotta do to pay the bills, but the exodus from academia into some of the more problematic areas of industry transfers intellectual capital from public institutions to those actively (in many cases) trying to destroy them.</p><p>Like I said, it was carefully worded and not inflammatory like what I said above. It was couched. Couched, I say!</p><p>Got a serious chewing-out by the mods for failing to support vulnerable people, victim-blaming, and maybe some other stuff.</p><p>Come on, mods, I get it. But two things can both be true. If the only way I could pay rent/mortgage and my daughter's life expenses was doing UX for <a href="https://c.im/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>facebook</span></a> or A/B testing for <a href="https://c.im/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>google</span></a>, I'd do it in a second.

Chuck Darwin<p>As a child, Mathew Desmond experienced poverty firsthand. </p><p>He saw his family home repossessed and endured the stresses and humiliations of his family’s lack of means. </p><p>It raised the question that he would go on to dedicate his professional life to answering: </p><p>❓Why is there such stark <a href="https://c.im/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inequality</span></a> in America?❓</p><p>The hard truth, he said, is that <br>💥so many of us benefit from it.💥</p><p>Desmond shared a litany of statistics illustrating the growing burden of poverty and inequality in the United States:</p><p> • 1 in 3 families live in a household that has an income of $55,000 a year or less.<br> • 38 million people are below the federal poverty level of $30,000 for a family of four.<br> • Evictions have increased by 22% since the turn of the century.<br> • The number of public-school kids who are unhoused has increased by 74% since the turn of century.<br> • The amount of inflation-adjusted, non-mortgage debt has increased by more than 200% -- and the number of families reporting no income apart from food stamps has quadrupled since the 2008 recession.<br> • Since 1985, rent increases have&nbsp;outpaced wage growth by 325%.<br> • Each year, people are charged $11 billion in overdraft fees and $10 billion in payday loan fees.</p><p>“So, here's one reason there's so much poverty in America today: </p><p>because the poor are <a href="https://c.im/tags/exploited" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exploited</span></a>,” <br>said Desmond, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Evicted" and his more recent work "Poverty, by America". </p><p>“I think it's a word we should use more.”</p><p>👉The exploitation is perpetuated, not only by the corporations, financial institutions, and landlords who withhold fair wages, charge exorbitant fees, and profit off those in poverty, <br>👉but also by affluent Americans who benefit from the exploitation, he said.</p><p>Desmond quoted an analogy from novelist Tommy Orange, </p><p>“Kids are jumping out the windows of burning buildings, falling to their deaths. And we think the problem is that they’re jumping.”</p><p>🔥The American approach to poverty has often been to focus on those who are poor and what they can do to uplift themselves -- rather than changing the systems that keep them poor. </p><p>This can be uncomfortable for those whose <a href="https://c.im/tags/property" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>property</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>values</span></a> are protected by ⚠️segregation of affordable housing, <br>those who have invested in the <a href="https://c.im/tags/stock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/market" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>market</span></a> and make money when ⚠️exploitative corporations net profits, <br>and those with <a href="https://c.im/tags/free" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>free</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/checking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>checking</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/accounts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accounts</span></a> that are ⚠️subsidized by the poor who pay fees for their lack of capital, he explained.</p><p>The affluent also benefit from government subsidies more than the poor, he said. </p><p>According to Desmond, the <a href="https://c.im/tags/wealthiest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wealthiest</span></a> families in the United States receive an average of about 🔷$35,000 annually in tax benefits, while the <a href="https://c.im/tags/poorest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poorest</span></a> get an average of ♦️$25,000 in subsidies. </p><p>These are realized in <a href="https://c.im/tags/mortgage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mortgage</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/incentives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incentives</span></a>, special <a href="https://c.im/tags/investment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>investment</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/accounts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accounts</span></a>, like #529 accounts that help pay for college, and other <a href="https://c.im/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tax</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/breaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>breaks</span></a> for the wealthy.</p><p>Many affluent families further contribute to poverty by building communities that exclude and marginalize the poor <br>— pushing them out of their neighborhoods using <a href="https://c.im/tags/zoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zoning</span></a> ordinances, Desmond said</p><p><a href="https://www.aamc.org/news/we-can-solve-poverty-america-we-just-don-t-want" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aamc.org/news/we-can-solve-pov</span><span class="invisible">erty-america-we-just-don-t-want</span></a></p>
