There's a bunch of articles.

There's a whole viral trend right now going on.

And I mentioned this in a previous show about algorithmic bias and gender on LinkedIn.

And this is undoubtedly going to end up being like a big, big deal because what's happening is this is absolutely positively cutting women off from opportunities.

I mean, you could go down the list of all the bad things that are happening because women are being suppressed on the platform.

Then you go to the people in charge.

Then you go to the data that's being compared and contrasted with 30 years of hiring data, which is going to be predominantly skewed toward white males.

So it just it goes on and on and on.

And this is why I'm in crash out mode, because it's like.
