W.E.I. How Matt Floca went from being ‘in charge of HVAC and toilets’ to leading the Kennedy Center

How Matt Floca went from being ‘in charge of HVAC and toilets’ to leading the Kennedy Center​

The new director of the Kennedy Center is a young, well-liked facilities manager who most recently was “in charge of HVAC and toilets” — as one former colleague put it — at the renowned performing arts institution.

Moments after the Kennedy Center board voted to rename the institution the “Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” Matt Floca was outside in the December cold directing the crew installing the letters of Trump’s name on the building’s facade.

Three months later, Floca has been unexpectedly thrust into a pivotal role at the nation’s preeminent arts institution as it prepares to undergo a renovation that will see it close for two years. He is well-liked by Trump, with whom he has bonded over a shared passion for building and construction, according to people familiar with the dynamic.

Once again, it’s the left who bring race into it. Seems like a pattern…

What does race have to do with this?

Everything. But this is how whites like you do things. You ignore unqualified whites getting hired and then try telling people race has nothing to do with it.

The pattern is unqualified whites getting hired in this administration for serious jobs they have no experience in doing, and other whites pretending that white is not a race or race couldn't have anything to do with the hire.

I'm sure he'll do a very good job of keeping the center in the toilet where Trump put it.

Yea that’s a mission critical job for US infrastructure. I’d rather have him overseeing DC Water vs. all of the DEI mission.

The District’s DEI hiring obsession led to largest wastewater spill in U.S. history

The District of Columbia hired David Gadis as CEO and general manager of DC Water in 2018 after he lied to Flint, Michigan, residents that their water was safe to drink, even though it was contaminated with lead. Why? Diversity.

The freshly desecrated Kennedy Center might as well be run by a master of toilets. After all, being flushed down the drain is the only future for any MAGA run enterprise.

Prove that…. Still waiting…

do things. You ignore unqualified whites getting hired and then try telling people race has nothing to do with it.

A white person getting hired doesn’t mean it was because of race, favors happen all the time. Maybe trump just liked this guy.

Why does it have to be about his race?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Because we have no evidence that he was hired because he is white.


By the way, if this guy had been black, and people said he was unqualified, would that be racist?

You make me laugh with your consistent use of plausible deniability. Blacks can be hired by favors and likes too, but you guys don't ever talk about that when a black person gets a job like this.

It is this simple: White people won't say they will hire a person because they are white, they just hire whites. Then people like you want to pretend that race had nothing to do with it. Had this guy been black with the same background, you an the et of the MAGA racists woul have been crowing about how hiring unqualified people because of race is not right. But for this you have excuses and and denials.

Sounds like a good fit to me. The Kennedy Center used to nothing but toilet material.

From the article:

Three months later, Floca has been unexpectedly thrust into a pivotal role at the nation’s preeminent arts institution as it prepares to undergo a renovation that will see it close for two years.

A facility manager MANAGES all the trades involved that make a building run, from HVAC and plumbing yes, but also repairs, maintenance, electric, and other things.

Also,

Before arriving at the Kennedy Center during the Biden administration a little over two years ago, Floca worked for a decade for the DC government on capital construction and facilities. Before that, he was a project engineer at a construction company. According to his LinkedIn profile, he graduated from Louisiana State University in 2009.

So this is the wrong guy to run the place when it's shut down for renovations?

If trump hired him because he was white, I’d have no problem admitting it and condemning it, we simply don’t know that to be the case.

There are plenty of black people qualified for the same jobs white people are qualified for.

People don’t question the qualifications of black people because they think they are not qualified, they question them because democrats have made their whole DEI platform based around hiring because of skin color. Dems are to blame for this. They are not doing black folks any favors by telling everyone that the are hiring people based on skin color.

You didn’t answer my last question.

You didn’t answer my last question.

White men have been the main people hired, promoted, admitted, and even elected because of their color and sex. You right-wing MAGAT white men know this, and white men created the disingenuous argument you an the other racists are making 60 years ago, starting with the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Almost immediately after the act was passed, whites began to claim that unqualified blacks were getting things only because of their skin color an how unfair that was. The first white backlash to Civil Rights was Reagan, but Reagan couldn't get the job done. White people have repeated that lie about unqualified blacks for the last 60 years. It is an example of the Goebbels big lie. You guys have repeated that lie so many times that you actually believe it's true. Whites like you have always ignored the 2.5 centuries of race-based preferences that whites have received. It is time the lying stopped, it's time the psychosis ended. Your comments are another example of why some blacks call whites devils.

So read the next paragraph and understand that your opinion is nothing more than a disingenuous bullshit white racist lie:

WHITE MEN ARE THE NUMBER ONE DEMOGRAPHIC GETTING HIRED BASED ON THEIR SKIN COLOR. WHITE MEN ARE 36 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION; THEY SHOULD NOT BE 70-80 PERCENT OF THE EMPLOYEES, OWNERS, CEOS, MANAGERS, OR ANYTHING ELSE ANYWHERE. BUT THEY ARE, AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF MF-ING MERIT.

Did you ever consider that they are more qualified?

No...of course you don't.

Because you're STUPID!
