…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.

Narcotics is my bet

Mitchell was arrested while the Senate is on its Passover break. Her arrest comes at an awkward time for Senate Democrats, who hold just a one-seat majority with four weeks left in the legislative session. Her absence would make it difficult to pass any legislation that lacks bipartisan support.

Who are these protestors?

They can’t all be foreigners and Muslims and Arabs?
