THISTHISTHIS, and linguistic prescriptivism also falls into this category. Completely pointless, historically arbitrary way to keep TALENT + MERIT as secondary qualifiers. “First impressions matter” my ass. Get Gen Xs out of hiring positions

Woooo, and after just finishing a massive comic yesterday, there’s still more of this one to go! So we have another new part for Paper Trail! With even more puzzles that are harder than they first seem…
my econ teacher has been trying to teach about scarcity by having a limited amount of graph paper available for students who don’t have any (she has the last few pages in a pad and when it’s gone, it’s gone) but it’s very undercut by the fact that i have a whole pad and i’ll let people have a piece whenever they need it
she’s teaching scarcity, you’re teaching the value of sharing a resource when you have enough to spare
YES EXACTLY!!!!!
In particular, she’s teaching artificial scarcity by being a person in an authoritative position withholding resources that are actually abundant from people who need them.
You are breaking the illusion of power and scarcity by showing the supposedly scarce resource is actually in abundance and if distributed properly everyone would have what they needed to pass the class.
She’s also the person that creates the need for the paper for assignments in the first place
