Like a true diplomat,

He'd call in a drone strike.

Leech off others.

In Lakewood, 65,000 people — more than half the town's population — are on Medicaid, the government health program for low-income families, according to state data. Lakewood has more children with two parents receiving government benefits than any other municipality in New Jersey, including large, chronically depressed cities such as Newark and Camden. A report by the Asbury Park Press found that Lakewood had received 14% of the money from a $34-million state fund for catastrophic illnesses in children, despite having only 2% of the state's children. It also found that the town had 29 times more grant recipients than any other town in New Jersey.

What are your thoughts on the marketability of male POV works, or those that split POV between male and female (perhaps written by a team of a male author and female author)?

In your opinion, how much of the wage gap (and career gap) is due to sexism vs. choice? That is, in a world without sexism, and if all people were raised in a gender-neutral way from birth, what proportion of these gaps do you think would go away?

There's a basic problem with your question.

If you look at progressive, more-egalitarian societies like those of Scandinavia, the gender gap is larger. Women given more choice are more likely to choose more stereotypically female careers. So, the gender gap would likely increase, not "go away".

So you have no experience managing projects, especially those with large budgets. No offense meant, but it shows, from your lack of economic understanding.

Having more than 25 years in environmental consulting, I can say that 2-1/2 years is pretty minimal, without much real understanding of the field. I suggest you get some experience with project management and budgets. You might then see why it's unworkable to drive up costs endlessly -- people can go elsewhere.

Best wishes in your career.
