When you type in "cars" it takes you to the most popular car-buying site as well as all the dealerships within a 30-mile radius. The people who work there are mostly male, mostly white, and I'd assume mostly autistic. These abnormally gifted nerds have been assigned the task of taking this incredible invention that grosses $60 billion a year and improving it.

James Damore did exactly that on Monday when he sent out an interoffice memo detailing the dangers of "echo-chamber" thinking and this strange obsession with making tech 50% female. "Google's political bias has equated the freedom from offense with psychological safety," he began, before adding, "but shaming into silence is the antithesis of psychological safety." The CEO of Google cut his vacation short and fired Damore within hours. James is presently exploring legal action.

The story from Google's side is that the memo perpetuated "harmful gender stereotypes." The media has run with this narrative, calling Damore's essay an "anti-woman screed" that "confirms your worst fears."
