Well, there is good evidence that blindly hiring to a quota raises productivity more than blindly selecting the "best" applicants, for a start.

Where is your evidence that either of those things are the case?

Speaking as a Londoner, I can live without a detailed knowledge of what's running in the West End and just make do with being taken to my destination for half the cost.

Except that none of the foregoing is true; it is merely the fantasies of those who wish to claim themselves as the Master Race. From Wikipedia: "It is still not resolved what relation, if any, there is between group differences in IQ and race."

So please, take your racist bullshit elsewhere.

And how much reading aloud do you do with him/her?

Yes, but it is an open question as to whether it was regulation or the rise of the concept of the trusted brand (as well as the development of tort law; issues like Donoghue v Stevenson were not settled until the early 20th century) that was responsible for driving improvements.

Somehow I guess the commission makes it a lot less boring.

Actually, the UK has significantly less - something like 3/4 per 10,000 as opposed to the US, which is something over 10 per 10,000. The disparity is smaller after controlling for miles driven but still around half. Mostly due to better driver training, safety standards enforcement, and drink-driving laws.

Hi. I work for an insurer. We cannot wait for driverless cars. Sure, there will be some difficult accidents and difficult litigation, especially initially, but that will be nothing compared to getting rid of the rear-end texting shunts, SMIDSY collisions, running red lights, and all the stupid-ass things that motorists already do that cost us money. Bring it on.

Rape statistics are not hard to find. Seriously, it is not feminism's job to rehash every single moron on the interwebs that can manage to smash out the words [citation needed].

Yes, but then when you get audited and they ask "and how did you pay for your five-bed condo in NYC?" you'd better have an answer that will stand up...

Not even wrong.

Which might be a credible argument if these rockets had any sort of aiming capability whatsoever.

Do your own fucking Googling. Seriously, feminism is not here to hold your lazy little hand.

These are short range rockets with no aiming system. Therefore you're not really adding anything.
