These people had easier access to loans anyway because of their ability to pay. All the subsidy does is make it a no-brainer when it comes to where to invest their money. People put their money into whatever gives them the best ROI and for the last decade or so that's been real estate. All it does though is drive prices up and the middle class out.
And yet everybody who can afford it, sends their kids to private schools in London. Heck - I know people who sold their house so that they could pay for private schools.
The intent usually seems to be to get one's chidren surrounded by primarily middle-or-better class children, not to keep their schooling racially and culturally pure.
I don't think the original post indicated a desire to keep one's children "racially and culturally pure" but rather to avoid sending one's children to schools with large number of non-Whites, for any number of reasons.
It's not a race thing but rather class. People want their children to go to school with отчер kids who are smart / motivated to succeed - hence will focus on school.
Best determinant of that are the parents themselves. So private schools end up being essentially a sieve that checks parents. In the US parents move to the suburbs with high local taxes that fund good schools for the same purpose.
"You can fix things. You can make new and amazing things."
This could and should apply equally to teams as well as individuals working alone (albeit taking different approaches to working).
What's interesting here is the comparison between achieving something as a team/in an organisation and working alone, which is ultimately what the author is advocating in order to gain certain freedoms. However, it seems to me that one can only achieve so much as an individual and this includes effecting change on a large scale because it takes many hands and cooperation to stir a big pot.
I don't think it's weird at all. In fact, I think it's normal given their history of only embracing technology that is ready and able to provide (in their opinion) a great user experience; If they can't see a way to do it well, they won't do it.
