When I left academia to go to the private sector, I got a 40% bump in pay, and worked at least 30% less. And I didn't have to write grants to support my program. When I was an academic, I thought people never came back to academia from the private sector because they couldn't. I quickly found out that it was because they'd have to be crazy to come back. I wouldn't have returned to the university for anything less than an endowed chair. And that was NOT going to happen.

Teachers in the US. Hands down.
The Chinese would have landed in Sydney by the time the French laid the keels for the subs in the deal they struck with Australia.
I have a Latin surname. I am sure it's cost me in some circles. But in others it's an advantage. At least for me I think it kind of evens out.
NGL. That is some really fucked up shit.
Are Latinos over represented in your company with respect to the population? That would be a defensible position for your boss on this. I mean if you had 85% Latinos that could be taken as evidence of some sort of ethnic bias in favor of Latinos.
The Catholic Church is a oligarchic Republic in that the Popes are elected. But only the Cardinals do the electing.
Ranked choice and similar electoral systems are a direct threat to the monopoly on power held by the Dems and the GOPers- which is why we don't have some sort of a ranked choice balloting system instead of first past the post.
Tell us you are ignorant without telling us you are ignorant. A republic of any kind is a state in which the head of state is elected. The US is a representative constitutional republic in which the representatives and head of state are elected- at least that's the theory.
Will they get angry enough to do something about the GOPers that are causing the problems? Probably not.
