All application

[Dick7Access]

Justn a thought? Would this (to liberals Minds) satisfy to eliminate discrimination on government employment. All application would be summited resume to hiring entity, without name, (just number in separate storage) minus race, religious affiliation, minus politician affiliation, or anything else than is deemed discriminatory. Hire would then be based solely on merit.

You're making the assumption that the progressives want to be fair. They don't want to be fair. They want to provide "equity" to make outcomes equal. I really want to know why I can't be the President. Why does Kamala get to be the anointed candidate without a single citizen voting for her? Why can't it be me, me, me, me, me. I guess that's what the Democrats mean when they talk about "our democracy". It is not Democracy as you or I would recognize. It is some perverted version that they are making up as they go along. I guess some people are just more equal than other people.

of course. My point well hidden, was that it would not appeased them. I have a friend from Cuba now FL who was a dentist in Cuba.
she made not much more that day labors. Why spend all that studying if you can make as much picking pickles. Lets all be poor together. Not my kind of equality. BTW: Pat you have my vote.

Wasn't Kamala co-elected as Vice President?

I read that Trump is very angry because he invested a lot of money in insults against Biden that have now ended up in the trash.

It has been illegal to judge people on merit for some time now.
Diversity and the forced acceptance of incompetence is the way of the world today.

Low standards are now the acceptable norm in this woke world of nonsense.
All you need to do is look at the service and the people at your local authority, your broadband suppler, your utility supplier to know that.
Still 25% of children leave school unable to complete basic maths or English exercises. The education authorities know this and simply couldn't care less. Individual teachers prefer this situation because they'd rather talk to them about trans stuff than teach them what little they actually know.

 

[ebs17]

she's "female" (we think)

There is a lot of hate, intolerance and impudence in such a statement.
That's probably how it has to be if you're fixated on people rather than politics.

I don't live in a glass house, and I certainly don't throw stones, not even for fun.
But it seems to me that there is no mirror in your house that gives you a real image of yourself.

Hire would then be based solely on merit.

Oh, <gasp><choke> you can't POSSIBLY mean that people would have to actually work to learn things. People would have to work to earn money and position. Oh, you terribly radical person, you. If you aren't careful, one night you will awaken to chanting as a crowd of dusty villagers will surround your house. They will wave pitchforks and scythes in the air and will wave burning torches around. Someone will say "Kill the monster before it ruins everything."

Gotta watch that, Dick. You'll get a bad reputation.

All those Mexicans that cut the grass, clean up messes, and build our houses, all work strictly on merit.

Not in construction, not in chemical plants, not in restaraunts, not in small business in general.

Skipping stones at the lake is pretty fun, especially with the grand kids.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

But any place that used DEI as a mantra (perhaps because they have some government mandate due to a contract), the "E" in DEI says that meritocracy is not observed here.

All those Mexicans that cut the grass, clean up messes, and build our houses, all work strictly on merit.

The guys who repaired our house after Hurricane Katrina and again after Hurricane Ida were Mexican but were legally here. Both times, the construction company had certificates that were required by our local government to demonstrate eligibility. Our construction permits required it.

The guys who do our lawn aren't Mexicans. The guys who do the sewer work in our area don't look Mexican and when they talk, don't use Spanish or heavily accented English.

The guys who did our last household construction and repair were Honduran and were legally here.

You are merely throwing accusations out in a furious attempt to muddy the waters, to obscure the truth.

It wouldn't because liberals aren't aiming for equality of opportunity. They're aiming for EQUITY, which they openly and honestly describe as achieving the same outcome for different people. So if blacks or women aren't achieving the same outcome, then "equity" demands that the governmment un-level the playing field to "make" certain people successful.

It's just classic socialism, nothing more or less. That's why many Democrats openly praise Marxist writings, books, influencers, historical people, etc

No, they work for slave wages but more importantly, they have no insurance so if they get hurt on your property, be prepared to lose your house. Any citizen or legal resident who hires an illegal alien is contributing to the problem.

I don't care what anyone says about my swimming skills. I should have been on the USA swim team. I deserve to be. I deserve to go to Paris. If any of you say anything different, you're just misogynists and racists and ageists and outright haters.

Pat, just stay away from Misquamicut State Beach

If you were only partially wrong, that would be something, but you are actually mostly wrong. They make more than indigenous people working at McDonalds or Walmart.
Walmart managers make good money but only about one in 5000 make it to managing a store. In construction anyone that works hard, and doesn't make a lot of screw up, shows up make a good living.

It's really interesting to see just how uniformed people can be.

If nobody hired them, the country would come to an immediate and grinding halt. I wonder, have you ever imagined what an epiphany feels like?

OMG. that was my favorite beach when I was in high school. We didn't go to the state beach though. We went to one of the beaches between the state beach and the town beach which was owned by some dive bar with really good food and more convenient restrooms than the state beach.

Pat,
I went to all of them one time or another, depending which had the most girls, but my favorite was Scarborough State Beach, (most girls) hope you were not the one that slapped my face.

 

[Dick7Access]

I don't think so. We were pretty loyal to the Blue Sands. I think that was their name at the time. I looked at a map today and it looks like there is only one of the old dives left. I think the Blue Sands was the third dive after the state beach but only the lot adjacent to the state beach has the kind of structure that would have been there when I was a kid. The rest have more built up structures.

I know the surf is nothing like what you get on the west coast but to me it was terrifying just to body surf in.

just a joke, you were too young to have been on the beach when I was a teen

I disagree about construction,
We moved from the North to Gloucestershire over ten years ago and I haven't come across anyone I would call a tradesman.
Plenty of DIY guys and labourers who went out and bought a van calling themselves tradesmen. They haven't even got the tools needed and the tools they have aren't looked after. If you want an obvious indicator. Just look at the dashboards, piled up with paper and coffee cups every time you see their vans. How they ever find anything in the back of their vans I'll never know. Even people calling themselves gardeners are basically clueless on all things horticultural. All they are capable of is pushing a lawn mower. I have been forced to do any work needed myself. The only thing I haven't done is electrical work. At one point I was at the point of bringing an electrician 180 miles down from the North until I dropped on a guy that was acceptable.

Don't know about the oil/chem industry nowadays and restaurants I cannot comment on. Since 2020 we haven't eaten anything that wasn't made by someone we knew. No meals out, no takeaways. We think that is why we have never caught Corona virus? Too many of those people making the meals were infected and simply passed it on.

My son was at school the other day, an ASU campus, and he saw a building being constructed with many laborers, and he saw hardly any Mexican looking people, most were pudgy white americans most likely not immigrants

They work less, but you get what you pay.
