RE: Catch-Up Time

I notice my favorite left-wing fishwrap editor couldn't resist this chunk of burning BS:

It shouldn't take long for that surge in business degrees to start moving women up the corporate ladders. When that happens, we might finally see an end to the gender gap in salaries. Right now, women with full-time jobs earn about 76 percent as much as men, according to a study cited by The Associated Press.

Note that she didn't bother to actually attribute the study or the source. Could that be because she knows that every such "study" has been repeatedly refuted and shown to be utter crap?

On the more general question, if you believe that

A) there is any actual value to an undergraduate degree other than the "brand" name from which it hails,

B) that the studies that appear from time-to-time trumpeting such "trends" have any validity, statistical or otherwise,

and C) the outcomes of any such trends will be as people like Linda Brinson believe them to be

then it follows that we can look forward to a continued decline of birthrates among the more educated and affluent levels of American Society, increased crime rates (as the offspring of couples to whom career is more important than parenting grow up to be full-fledged sociopaths), upwardly spiraling tax rates (fewer affluent producers will have to chip in a higher portion of their income to support the burgeoning masses who are on some form of government assistance), and ever more intrusion of government into the lives of private citizens. The last one is the inevitable result of women reaching more positions of societal authority.

I am most humbly apologetic that I can't share Linda's brimming enthusiasm over this development.
