@thealaynaterra It important to remember that the people we use Twitter are disproportionately younger than the general population. A survey asking about age on a platform that skews disproportionately younger can’t be an accurate reflection of older people’s opinions.

@joejohnstun @Flip_Stewart That’s a funny pun, but what she’s saying is mostly true. I guess I don’t understand your argument, part of being a straw man is that what the person is saying misrepresents something making it easier to defeat. What’s being misrepresented?

@joejohnstun @Flip_Stewart Oh I see, your argument is even though this person has it worse than some people she doesn’t have it worse than most people. Sure, there’s lots of horrible things in the world. I’m not sure how putting things on a scale and saying one thing is worse makes the world better?

@jboogie A better, and I think obvious solution is: we should all hire more researchers and advocate for cross-functional participation and data and process transparency. Hiring researchers, or not hiring them is a statement about what the company values, not about budget.
