The Crazy Years

If anything could make me skeptical of Bitcoin, it would be an IMF endorsement.

It’s like they really want everyone to leave the state. Or the middle class so the state population is three groups only: millionaires, section 8 residents and homeless

Plus rats and cockroaches

Sheetz Inc., which operates more than 700 stores in six states, discriminated against Black, Native American and multiracial job seekers by automatically weeding out applicants whom the company deemed to have failed a

criminal background check,
according to U.S. officials.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit in Baltimore against Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Sheetz and two subsidary companies, alleging the chain’s longstanding hiring practices have a disproportionate impact on minority applicants and thus run afoul of federal civil rights law.

Sheetz said Thursday that it “does not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”

“Diversity and inclusion are essential parts of who we are. We take these allegations seriously. We have attempted to work with the EEOC for nearly
eight years
to find common ground and resolve this dispute,” company spokesperson Nick Ruffner said in a statement.

Sheetz is a family name FYI

This is extortion by EEOC

They want back pay and retroactive seniority!!!

…with less than 100 days to go before the 2024 Paris Olympics, fears are growing that events like the marathon swim, the triathlon and the paratriathlon could be postponed or canceled because of high pollution levels, or that the flotilla-based opening ceremony could be affected.

From the complaint:

  1. For instance, Black job applicants have failed Defendants’ criminal justice history screening, and consequently are denied employment, at a rate exceeding approximately 14.5% while White job applicants have failed Defendants’ criminal justice history screening, and consequently are denied employment, at a rate of under approximately 8%.

Reading between the lines, that’s essentially exactly 2:1.

But crime statistics suggest a much higher ratio than 2:1.

Although a 7:1 incarceration rate ratio is not an exact proxy for criminal records, and there may be a sample bias regarding whether one race’s criminals are more likely to apply for jobs, this suggests that white criminals are being disproportionately denied jobs, not the other way around.

This is a civil not criminal case?

To quote Scarface: we need to bury those cockroaches!!!

Tony Montana was a violent anti Castro and anti communist lol

If all applicants who had criminal records were not hired then everyone was treated equally.

But disparate impact!

Is disparate impact written in 1964 law or was it created by judicial activism?

I am guessing judicial activism. If that’s the case they should appeal to SC and reject the doctrine of disparate impact

What is interesting at all is that all this is being shown on an arguably Main Stream Media outlet. Fox News has not been the advocate for conservative thinking it once was; it has apparently abrogated its stance to the political leanings of the two sons who now run the network. The result is that it has lost views in significant numbers. Yet it is showing this clip. Not “kool”, at least as far as out “elite ‘betters’” are concerned.
