Competency Doesn't Mean White!

[JoeB131]

I wonder if these same people would call back someone named "Cletus", as JoeB131 so affectionately calls me? How about Bubba?

I don't think either of those are proper names.

 

[DBA]

Well, until the next election and we have such a bout of shame over Trump that we undo everything he did.

Republicans will be running away from him in hopes to rebuild their party brand.

Dow down 1000 points today!!!

Undo everything? You mean add the corruption and wasteful spending back? Yeah, that sounds like a great plan.

Yes, there will be some pain in the short term. Adults know this. Much like cutting your budget at home to pay off your credit cards is a little painful. In the long run, you will be better off, but it hurts a little in the short term. No more $8 lattes. So sad.

Grow up.

 

[Unkotare]

The OP's racist obsession is incessant.

 

[DBA]

I don't think either of those are proper names.

Of course there are people named Bubba and Cletus. They are associated with backwoods, usually white, people, but the names exist. You know that. I wouldn't name my kid either of those because of the negative connotations and the start reality that, despite being white names, they would be shunned by many reading resumes. Precious or Shanice may sound nice, but I wouldn't name my kid either of those either. On the other hand, Booker or Elijah would be just fine, even though they are more closely associated with African Americans. Figure it out yet?

Trump is the corruption.

Wow, the first cry of a bad leader "there will be pain".

Yes, there will be some pain in the short term. Adults know this. Much like cutting your budget at home to pay off your credit cards is a little painful. In the long run, you will be better off, but it hurts a little in the short term. No more $8 lattes. So sad.

Actually, nothing Trump is doing will reduce the debt.

The way you get out of debt is increasing revenues.

The way I finally got ahead of my debt situation was to get a better paying job, and starting a side business. I did some cutting back on expenses, but the only real way forward was increasing revenues.

I've never met one.

Now, we used to call our nephew Bubba when he was little, but he hates that nickname now and goes by his proper name.

On the other hand, I see white people give their kids all sorts of goofy names, but because they are goofy white names no one thinks twice about them.

 

[Mac-7]

Test had to be dumbed down for too stupids

Probably

But the white firemen earned seniority over over black DEI’s who finally got promoted

 

[IM2]

I wonder if these same people would call back someone named "Cletus", as JoeB131 so affectionately calls me? How about Bubba?

Since the study showed that white sounding names are called back far more than black sending names, it doesn't matter if Cletus or Bubba gets called back.

Grow up.

What does this have to do with the topic?

 

[JoeB131]

Since the study showed that white sounding names are called back far more than black sending names, it doesn't matter if Cletus or Bubba gets called back.

Then don't give your kids dumb names.

Here's the thing. I've worked with LOTS of black people. Oddly, none of them have names like Jamal or LaKeisha.

They all had nice, sensible-sounding names like Michael and Alicia.

Here's the thing. I've worked with LOTS of black people. Oddly, none of them have names like Jamal or LaKeisha.

Yes, exactly the point. Michael and Alicia would get call backs at the same rate as Graham and Lindsey.

Maybe it is starting to sink in.

 

[DBA]

Trump is the corruption.

Hardly. Biden was by far the most corrupt administration in several decades, maybe ever.

Actually, nothing Trump is doing will reduce the debt.

It hasn't yet, but it most certainly can.

The way you get out of debt is increasing revenues.

And to cut spending. Lowering taxes increases revenue in the long term, but decreases them in the short term. Raising taxes increases revenue, in the short term, but stabilizes in the long term as the economy weakens.

Then don't give your kids dumb names.

Exactly. That goes for Cletus and Laquisha.

 

[JoeB131]

Yes, exactly the point. Michael and Alicia would get call backs at the same rate as Graham and Lindsey.

Maybe it is starting to sink in.

Well, here's the problem with a "callback".

A callback isn't a job.

So, yeah, sometimes Alicia got hired.

Most of the time they don't, though, when they show up and they see they are black. This is why you need DEI, to keep it all somewhat fair.

Of course, what I tell my resume clients is that you need to send out 10 resumes to get one interview, and you have to have 10 interviews to get one job offer.

 

[JoeB131]

Hardly. Biden was by far the most corrupt administration in several decades, maybe ever.

Again, I don't remember Biden selling 500K watches or letting a guy who gets billions in Government contracts make decisions. (Usually, they'd call that a conflict of interest.)

It hasn't yet, but it most certainly can.

Nope, Voodoo Economics never work.

And to cut spending. Lowering taxes increases revenue in the long term, but decreases them in the short term. Raising taxes increases revenue, in the short term, but stabilizes in the long term as the economy weakens.

No, guy, supply side never works. Every time they've tried it, the deficit has shot through the roof (Reagan in the 80's, Bush in the Aughts, and Trump again in 2017.

Cutting Taxes never works. Tax increases should be the FIRST Step in reducing debt. It's what Clinton did in 1993. Last time we had a balanced budget.

Exactly. That goes for Cletus and Laquisha.

Except no one is naming their kid Cletus. Cleetus can't find a job because Rural America has already been forgotten, but you keep voting for the people who screw you because they be right with Jesus.

 

[DBA]

Again, I don't remember Biden selling 500K watches or letting a guy who gets billions in Government contracts make decisions. (Usually, they'd call that a conflict of interest.)

Obviously you don't remember a lot of things Biden and his family did.

Nope, Voodoo Economics never work.

That would be Bidenomics. You are right, it doesn't work.

Cutting Taxes never works. Tax increases should be the FIRST Step in reducing debt.

Wrong. Tax revenue is set to increase since TCJA passed under Trump's first term.

Tax increases for ye, but not for thee, right?

Except no one is naming their kid Cletus. Cleetus can't find a job because Rural America has already been forgotten, but you keep voting for the people who screw you because they be right with Jesus.

Right, because the name Cletus has a negative connotation. Don't name your kid Precious either for the same reason.

Again, I am much more successful than you. I know what I am voting for. It is you that has fallen victim to the group think and media. People like you are actually trying to make the argument, with a straight face, that our federal government is efficient and not corrupt. Normal, sane, non-indoctrinated people don't have that opinion. YOU are in the minority but just don't realize it because you are surrounded by other brainwashed lemmings.

 

[jc456]

The days of adding "points" to an applicant's candidate-evaluation score, attributable to race or protected class, are over.

The days of quotas (formal or informal) based upon race, protected-class membership, and such nonsense, are over.

No more school admissions nor hiring nor other form of putting-a-finger-on-the-scales based on race, etc... all done.

"Elections have consequences." ( Barack Obama, 2009 )

These are yours.

Enjoy.

Why do you mther fkers write word salad books?

 

[JoeB131]

Obviously you don't remember a lot of things Biden and his family did.

I remember you guys accused him of a lot of stuff and couldn't prove any of it. Trump, on the other hand ACTUALLY GOT CONVICTED. Was heading for more convictions if he hadn't slimed his way back into the White House.

That would be Bidenomics. You are right, it doesn't work.

4% unemployment, 16 million new jobs created (compared to 5 million lost by Trump, it seems to me it worked fine.

When the Trump recession hits, we will realize how good we had it.

Wrong. Tax revenue is set to increase since TCJA passed under Trump's first term.

Tax increases for ye, but not for thee, right?

Trump ran up 8 trillion in new debt. Voodoo Economics always fails.

Right, because the name Cletus has a negative connotation. Don't name your kid Precious either for the same reason.

Why does "Precious" have a negative connotation to you, other than it's a name a black person would give her child?

The thing is, Cleetus is a white trash name. Even other white people despise white trash.

Again, I am much more successful than you.

I'm sure your trailer is very nice.

I know what I am voting for. It is you that has fallen victim to the group think and media. People like you are actually trying to make the argument, with a straight face, that our federal government is efficient and not corrupt.

Do services get completed? Um. Yup, they do.

Will they be less efficient when Musk and NaziBois mess things up? Probably.

Normal, sane, non-indoctrinated people don't have that opinion. YOU are in the minority but just don't realize it because you are surrounded by other brainwashed lemmings.

Guy, you are not a majority. Trump has already dipped below 50% approval only two months in.

When Nana doesn't get her Social Security Check because some NaziBoi Musk hired can't read a spreadsheet, the torches and pitchforks will come out.

 

[DBA]

Yes, his DOJ and the woke 3 letter agencies weren’t interested in pursuing anything.

Trump was convicted in one of the few places in the country where they are woke enough to do so. The conviction will be thrown out at some point, as it should be. Any completely innocent anti-lefty should be terrified if they have to face a jury of New Yorkers and a woke judge. The entire case was a farce.

Trump ran up 8 trillion in new debt. Voodoo Economics always fails.

COVID. What was Biden’s excuse?

Why does "Precious" have a negative connotation to you, other than it's a name a black person would give her child?

The thing is, Cleetus is a white trash name. Even other white people despise white trash.

I am sure you would be the first in line to hire an attorney named Precious, but never a Cleetus.

I'm sure your trailer is very nice.

I am sure it is much nicer than your 20x20 condo with bars on the windows. And to top it off, I don’t have to wear a bullet proof vest to work and enjoy fantastic weather. Trailers in the South rule!

Do services get completed? Um. Yup, they do.

You can pay $1000 for an all day oil change and it will be completed. Most people are smart enough not to do so.

Will they be less efficient when Musk and NaziBois mess things up? Probably.

Sure, those government folks are far more intelligent than two billionaires, both of which who were former Democrats and one of which happens to be the wealthiest man in the world. Sorry if I don’t put much faith in the opinion of a resume writer.

Guy, you are not a majority. Trump has already dipped below 50% approval only two months in.

Yes, the majority do not agree with the Democratic Party platform. You people are onboard a fast train headed to Looneyville.

When Nana doesn't get her Social Security Check because some NaziBoi Musk hired can't read a spreadsheet, the torches and pitchforks will come out.

So now Musk is hiring young Nazis? Yeah, ok. The highly intelligent young people he has hired can write the spreadsheet program that you use. I am pretty sure they can read them. Thank goodness they are kicking out incompetent and anti-US people like you who will change numbers to match their agenda. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

 

[JoeB131]

Yes, his DOJ and the woke 3 letter agencies weren’t interested in pursuing anything.

Uh, Biden had two special prosecutors investigating him, and the only thing they came up with was Hunter was too stoned to fill out paperwork properly.

Trump was convicted in one of the few places in the country where they are woke enough to do so. The conviction will be thrown out at some point, as it should be. Any completely innocent anti-lefty should be terrified if they have to face a jury of New Yorkers and a woke judge. The entire case was a farce.

Did Trump do what he was accused of or not?

You guys impeached Clinton over a blow job because he was too embarrassed about it.

What Trump did was far worse, and you know it.

COVID. What was Biden’s excuse?

You mean the plague that he criminally mishandled and told people to drink bleach and horse-dewormer?

I am sure you would be the first in line to hire an attorney named Precious, but never a Cleetus.

I would actually look at their credentials, and then have a discussion with them to determine their ethics and competency.

We actually have two lawyers. An Italian from the old neighborhood who handles most of my mundane affairs, and a Chinese lady who handles my wife's issues.

I am sure it is much nicer than your 20x20 condo with bars on the windows. And to top it off, I don’t have to wear a bullet proof vest to work and enjoy fantastic weather. Trailers in the South rule!

My condo is much larger than that.
No bars on the windows.
I don't need to wear a bullet proof vest. (Although sensible gun laws would be nice.)
The weather does suck so even a blind mouse can find a nut.

You can pay $1000 for an all day oil change and it will be completed. Most people are smart enough not to do so.

Actually, most services the government does, the private sector wouldn't touch, so your comparison isn't apt.

Sure, those government folks are far more intelligent than two billionaires, both of which who were former Democrats and one of which happens to be the wealthiest man in the world. Sorry if I don’t put much faith in the opinion of a resume writer.

Two guys who are only "billionaires" because they inherited their wealth. "Yeh, I'm rich because under Apartheid, my family exploited poor black people in a diamond mine, then USAID ended Apartheid, those bastards."

Stop worshipping the wealthy, guy. They are a fucking plague on this planet, and

Yes, the majority do not agree with the Democratic Party platform. You people are onboard a fast train headed to Looneyville.

Nope. A Plurality didn't like expensive eggs. Stop pretending 1.48% is a mandate.

So now Musk is hiring young Nazis? Yeah, ok. The highly intelligent young people he has hired can write the spreadsheet program that you use. I am pretty sure they can read them. Thank goodness they are kicking out incompetent and anti-US people like you who will change numbers to match their agenda. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

TRy paying attention.

The real lesson of the DOGE racist tweets scandal

Musk and Trump say they promote free speech. They seem to only defend racist speech.

Did Trump do what he was accused of or not?

Sure, he was guilty of a misdemeanor. He should have been fined accordingly.

You mean the plague that he criminally mishandled and told people to drink bleach and horse-dewormer?

So no excuse for the wild spending by Biden? Gotcha.

I would actually look at their credentials, and then have a discussion with them to determine their ethics and competency.

You are lying. You woudln't even think about discussing anything with Cleetus and you may even not call someone that lived in the South for fear that they may not espouse your political beliefs. Also, you have expressed the opinion that people born in the South are stupid. Talk about stereotyping.

Actually, most services the government does, the private sector wouldn't touch, so your comparison isn't apt.

The private sector would love to have a piece of many of the jobs the federal government performs, ESPECIALLY if they were paid as much as the federal government spends. That would be a slam dunk for private industries who are FAR more efficient than the federal government.

Did it ever dawn on you why so many federal employees didn’t take the Trump severance package that paid them until August, with no future work restrictions? In the private sector, most competent and confident people would jump on that deal in a heartbeat. The government employees don’t because they know they are on the gravy train with their pensions, that they are not held accountable in their current jobs and that they may not have the skills to be hired in the private sector.

Nope. A Plurality didn't like expensive eggs. Stop pretending 1.48% is a mandate.

People don’t believe in the far-left ideology. You will eventually figure that out, maybe.

TRy paying attention.

What do you know, a woke opinion article that rants about free speech but fails to mention anything about the squashing of the Hunter laptop story in the middle of a presidential election. You are reading things that echo your opinions, not searching for any semblance of truth.
