Republicans point to failed prejudicial actions as government interference. If they can't demonstrate their hate against different minorities, they get really pissed.
Remember, it's everyone else who needs protections from Republican hate. The GOP wants to either lock up people or deport them. Just somehow, get rid of the "wrong" type of people.
Thanks, your post has nothing to do with the subject or than the fact you can interject hate and Republicans.
The fact is the government uses money to control behavior and you on the left approve of it, now when it is Trump trying to keep jobs in America, a stand liberals have had for years, you are now opposed, you are all hypocritical babies, go get your blankie and go suck on your thumb.
Trump is not trying to keep jobs in America. Trump is creating a photo op hoping his ignorant base will look no further and so far, he's right.
This is what I wrote:
Carrier is owned by United Technologies. United Technologies has a revenue of over 56 billion a year.
10% of that business goes to the United States government.That means the US does 5.6 billion in business with UTC a year.
Carrier has a revenue of 100 million a year. No mention of United Technologies Electronic Controls which is also in Indiana, has 700 jobs and is also moving to Mexico and is also owned by UTC.
Both plants are very profitable and pay their workers $23 an hour on average. But moving to Mexico, they could squeeze a tiny bit more money out of both those companies. So the Trump administration threatens the company, just a little, that maybe some of those 5.6 billion in government contracts might go someplace else.
Carrier revenue is less than 2% of the business UTC does with the federal government. Carrier, stay or go is still profitable. So Carrier stays.
UTC keeps it's 5.6 billion in government contracts. UTEC still moves it's 700 jobs to Mexico. Trump looks like a hero. Everyone is happy. And all it took was a little big government blackmail. Will it be that easy in the future?
So will it be that easy in the future? Of course not. It's not that easy now. And what about the 700 jobs from UTEC? Owned by the same company. In the same state. Moving to the same location. Why only Carrier?
It's just a photo op. That's what scam artists do. Carrier is Trump's snake oil. And you just bought a bottle.
I know, I know, you're gonna say "Oh, you asshole, you don't want jobs in this country. Dirty liberal. Wahhhh!"
The truth is we need policies that create jobs IN THIS COUNTRY. The only reason United Technologies is letting Carrier stay is because they got more concessions than the ones they got when Carrier moved there a few years ago and the 5.6 billion in government contracts. They don't want to mess those up.
You guys gotta look at the big picture.
IOW, Trump is starting to act like a democrat politician. And you're complaining?
Acting like a Democrat? Making education affordable? Creating job opportunities? Helping people prepare for those jobs?
That's what Democrats do.
Republicans? mmm Not so much.
Democrats make education affordable? LOL, ok.
I once knew a guy who was in the continuing education program at the Virginia-based for-profit institution of higher learning, Strayer University. He was majoring in marketing.
One day at work, while we were each at our computers, he asked me a question having something to do with marketing. Without looking up or stopping what I was doing, I answered. A few minutes later, he asked me another. I answered. Then he asked another, then another. In all, he asked me something like 25 questions, and I gave him 25 answers all the while continuing what I was working on. It turned out I'd taken his “midterm” for him without knowing it.
I hadn't “attended” any of his on-line classes, nor read any texts for this course. I was working on something else when I took an exam I didn't even know I was taking, and still, despite having no training, background, or even interest in marketing, I aced it.
In other words, the course had zero value. Well, zero value to the students, anyway. It had enormous value to Strayer University's owners.
Strayer charges $14,562.50 tuition per student per year—even for their online courses. The federal government covers roughly 90 percent of it. (See how affordable!) As of February 2013, there were 48,000 total students “attending” Strayer. That means taxpayers forked over more than $629 million dollars to Strayer's owners in 2013, the year CEO Robert S. Silberman, whose $41.5 million compensation in 2009 made him that year's highest paid CEO in the DC area, was named executive chairman of the board.
That's a lot of money the American taxpayer is paying for guys like my former colleague to take worthless courses toward a degree in a discipline for which he wasn't even competent to handle the Whiffle Ball version.
Yet, the Department of Education (DoEd) is advertising another 150 billion of those taxpayer dollars available to cover more tuition costs at US schools again this year. Under the heading, “Why go to college?”,
the website explains:
Here’s a simple equation: a college or career school education = more money, more job options, and more freedom...as you get more education, you’ll make more money and have more job opportunities.
In other words, not only is government policy reinforcing the vulgar notion that the point of becoming an educated person is to make money, it promises it. You
will make more money if you go sit in a magical room somewhere while something called “college” happens to you.
But, it's not at all surprising that people who achieve more academically will, after graduation, achieve more in their careers. It would be odd if it were otherwise. Moreover there are numerous examples to the contrary. The DoEd's claim that one
causes the other is flatly misleading.
But, why would the DoEd disseminate false information in order to entice citizens to claim a piece of $150 billion of other citizens' money and send it off to pay the tuition at fake universities offering worthless classes to unqualified students? The
Center for Responsive Politics shows the for-profit education industry spends six million dollars per year lobbying the federal government and certainly that must provide some incentive, but if six million dollars is all it takes to kick loose 150 billion, these guys are realizing an annual return on investment of two and a half million percent—a level of nation-looting that would make a Russian oligarch blush.
Two thirds of Strayer's students are women and over half are African American or Hispanic and it is among this population, i.e., those with little experience of college, where you'll find the most receptive audience for the DoEd's fraudulent claim that college = financial success.
The Strayer ad at right featuring Michelle Obama in a cap and gown and giving some sort of victory salute indicates Strayer knows whom to target. Thousands of black Americans will respond to this ad, many sincerely believing they are taking legitimate steps toward making something of themselves. Unfortunately, they aren't so much students as they are Social Security numbers serving as a conduit for funneling hundreds of millions of dollars away from taxpayers and into the pockets of the owners of Strayer University.
And blacks aren't the only ones being used to swindle the American people For world class plundering, you need the world, and so on the DoEd's website, under the slogan “Proud sponsor of the American mind” , we read, “
Many non-U.S. citizens qualify for federal student aid. Don’t assume you can’t get aid just because you’re not a citizen.” But, of course.
Kalinsky and his ilk plunder with a brazen insatiability that mark them as men who act without fear of being punished, and without fear of public censure. Indeed, they have little to fear from our watchdog press, which is not only failing to guard the hen house, it's helping the fox cart the hens away.
In
an article in the New York Times about a five thousand dollar buy-in charity poker tournament he held for other Wall Street financiers, we learn what a wonderful person Strayer University's Steven B. Klinsky is. Mr. Klinsky is a charitable humanitarian, the clearly admiring Times reporter Jennifer 8. Leereports eagerly, who opens charter schools and after-school programs for disadvantaged children in predominantly black neighborhoods like East New York and Harlem.
Strayer University and others are defrauding the American public on a massive scale. And the
New York Times, which had no trouble defending blacks against the racist horrors inflicted on them by the “local white power structure” in Ferguson, Missouri last year—
racist horrors dreamed up by the New York Times—hasn't seemed to notice the actual and substantial harm to blacks being committed on a large scale by Strayer. Instead, the Times runs a fawning article touting the paternal benevolence toward the black community of Strayer's owner—Steven B. Klinsky—cynically pinning those black children on his lapel like so many virtue ribbons and helping Mr. Klinsky maintain his parasitical attachment on the dying American republic.
