Awesome article. Please read the entire thing. Gary takes a well-deserved shot at the US false use of "third‑worldification" as a stand in for "our own low-trust society".

This crap will only stop when there is: 1. A ton of new housing for all people. 2. Treat everyone the same. Same amount of test time etc.

Otherwise, our society is just a race to see who can claim the most special 'privilege' via some form of 'issue' or 'need'.

It would be great to see detailed demographic breakdowns of exactly who's making these heavy special-privilege claims, as the details may surprise a variety of commentators on this forum. Though I don't think Gary has access to that data.

Test time shouldn't be an issue if the test is designed well and you learned the material. I'd support unlimited test time, but the proctor won't sit there forever so it won't work.
