Clarence Thomas was admitted to an ivy league on affirmative action.
Older workers would not pose a threat to the economy if government agencies and companies made it easier and provided accommodations for seniors to work. Affirmative action for people over 65. Shorter work weeks with regular hours.
This was a fantastic segment, it highlights the misconception that when high priced new properties are built that the standards of living are raised for all because high earners move up and middle earners move up and thus lower earners move up. This is another example of how trickle down doesn't benefit anyone except those at the absolute top.
