And yet the California legislature is looking to reinstate [1] discrimination in hiring based on race and endorsed by the University of California system.

The video on this link was absolutely striking. The moment we divide up America into racial groups, and then start recruiting, selecting, hiring and prosecuting people based on their race; the fabric of this nation will tear apart.

It is impossible to be a centrist. HN brings you downvotes when you convey a balanced view; friends in silicon valley despise you for offering a nuanced opinion, you get singled out and suppressed. Freedom of speech is degraded by extreme left-wing populace. Extreme right-wingers want a full authoritarian government but at the same time want freedom of speech and expression. That's contradicting and makes no sense.

I feel like leaving the United States and going to a place where there is more unity, thoughtful discourse and peace. Both left and right sides are to be blamed.
