The compelling reason is the massive success of FAANG companies. How are they making unimaginable amounts of money if their engineers are from "broken hiring"? How is FAANG on a resume such …

Isn't this basically what Trump has been saying? Hot weather (which isn't the same as climate) + overzealous suppression = tinder box forests that lead to explosive wildfires we cannot contr…

Unless the original title is incredibly vague or generic ("Report from Committee, May 2019"), you should stick to that, rather than highlight (cherrypick) one fact from it to support a viewp…
