In all seriousness, this is just another example of the mind-bending power of SWA exceptionalism at work in a real way. There are many of them.
SWA exceptionalism is one of the primary reasons we have accepted less for decades. It’s also likely to be a main contributor to why we will likely end up settling for less again this time around.
IMO, it would be fascinating for researchers to delve into the psychological, social, and demographic dynamics that drive SWA exceptionalism. I’d love to read the results of that study. I’m sure there’s some deeply subconscious sh** going on.
