Wait a second. I am supposed to believe that a company run by rich and powerful men promotes only individuals that are highly similar to themselves in terms of background, politics, and interests (many of which are correlated with age, skin color, and genitalia type)? That is simply outlandish.

This is going to be quite a comment thread. Think I’ll steer clear of this one.

Wow, he sounds like a jackass. I’m obviously not in his head, but if this stuff is true I’m not a very big fan of Crane.
