San Ramon第一，Pleasanton第三，Palo Alto第六。
比较城市的富裕程度的方法有很多，你不一定会认同，用不同的方法(个人还是家庭、
平均还是中位数、城市的规模)排出的顺序也不一样。
这个研究用的是家庭收入(household income)超过$10万的比例来比较, San Ramon有63
.5%的家庭收入超过10万，Palo Alto有57.8%。至少他摆出了一个事实：Palo Alto还有
42.2%的家庭年收入不到10万。
这里老是讨论贫困线20几万，照此湾区的大部分家庭都得生活在贫困线以下了。这42.2

我回一下那些质问我的id 吧：首先麻烦你们看看这个文章，也不是很长。我们的族裔
固然是一个很重要的identity, 但我们的性别，宗教信仰，教育程度，有无子女，世界
观政治观等等都会影响我们投票。在极端不合理不公平的情况下，比如说sca5, 我们会
强调我们亚裔的特征和利益，团结起来反对这个脑残法案。如果共和党出一个同样脑残
的法案，比如说，中小学要学圣经，或者大学入学要考虑到宗教信仰，那我这张选票就
会变。这就是我说的就事论事。
民主党继续这条极左的道路，只会越来越不得人心。但是共和党有些事情也有违我其他
identity 利益和观点。比如男女同工同酬，在这点上，民主党表面功夫还是要好些。
不管怎么样sca5的荒谬让我能轻易的把我其他identity 放在一边。
能投票的都是公民吧，反华排华，还是要和亚裔区分开来。这个identity 你自己认领吧 |

地点有些偏僻，属于我们这的不安全地区，不过白天也无所谓。去了就问能不能租枪打靶，店主是白人，很客气，问我要用什么枪，我说不知道，因为只是大概在网上混了混，叫不出枪的名字。他问是家用还是啥，我就说家用的。他说他和他老婆都用XD-40，我也不知道是啥，看他指了指，觉得挺酷的枪，就要了那个，拿着很重。
然后他问我打过枪没，我说打过但不是很正式的，一方面怕他不让菜鸟打，另一方面确实需要他教，呵呵。他就很认真的教了一边，怎么拿 |
