    Clark is the first player in WNBA history to start their career averaging 15p/5a with 3+ 3PM/G after 4 games played.  Not bad for how many people on social media think she's been playing terrible.

    The only thing impressive about that is the 3 plus 3s made a game but she is literally a long ball shooter so that is not a shock. 15 points per game is trash

    Got to be Long John Silvers right? They based the entire model off the least popular McD’s menu item.

    Taco Bell has got to be up there too.

    I have a theory about this. Did you know that the avg LJS location makes 3 MILLION bucks a year? The parking lot is always empty and so is the drive through in every one I have ever seen.  I believe LJS is a front for the mob to launder their money.

    If your company doesn’t have 50% women and 30-40% minorities, why do you think they’re over represented? 

    Depends on what function they are in.  The HR function is 80 percent minority... because women are automatically counted as a minority for cooperate purposes

    I’ve never worked in the tech industry. Are you seeing women/minorities over represented there - 50%+ women and 40%+ racial minorities?

    Good question. I am seeing them push them no matter what. I basically have 2 different job descriptions. One for a "perfect candidate" which is a white guy who walks on water and then I am seeing the HM say.. well we do not need ALL of these if they were a underrepresented minority group. Which is anyone not a white male or an Indian male.  I had to reject candidates that were very well suited for the position because their focus is on getting minorities in.  Someone mentioned it in an earlier post. These URMG do not have the talent pool to support the insane dei policies that most of these places have.

    Most companies have some type of DEI policy and officer. I highly doubt most companies aren’t hiring qualified white dudes even if their DEI officers are women/minorities. In 35+ years in corporate America for a wide variety of companies I’ve never worked for one that had an unusual amount of women or minorities in leadership or in general. 

    We have had vastly different experiences then. Mine has been almost exclusively in the tech space and in that space and what I am describing has been at every single one. Extremely liberal. Focused on DEI but ONLY dei that cuts out the white male. I am seeing this internally from a recruiters point of view.

    I work for a pretty big company that has a DEI policy and leadership here is almost entirely white men. Maybe your company works differently but I don’t think that’s true of DEI in general. 

    No. YOUR company works differently. Look up DEI on Linkedin and go to people.(in the first 3 pages of people you can find 1 that is a straight white male) What you will see are VERY few white men in the DEI space. Your company is absolutely the outlier here and coming from someone who has done rpo work for multiple large companies that are very well known I assure you that what I am telling you IS how DEI works.  If you do not believe me try talking to a recruiter from another company other than yours. See what they have to say. I am 100 percent confident that this is standard practice based on the companies I have worked at.

    I doubt that’s true. 

    I have  witnessed it with my own two eyes. I have literally had a female hiring manager look at me  and say "we are looking for people who do not look...like you. And then she used her finger to circle her face to make it a point of emphasis what she was talking about. I have been a recruiter for over 10 years now and believe me when I say this 100 percent happens..all the time. It may not be as blatant as my example but it is there. Always.  If you CHOOSE not to believe this go ahead. Weather you believe or not. This is how DEI works in the real world  

    My favorite part of the BS that IS dei? The HR department and the recruiter you talk to about a job will tell you how important DEI is with a straight face. When you ask them what % of their HR department and Recruiters are male they fall silent. 80 percent of HR is female and 71 percent of recruiters. So they  do not even practice what they preach. It is a good ol girls club.

    I understand she rolled her ankle last night but man she is not HER.  She may have been her in college but in the pros she is avg at best. 17 points a game and leads the league in turnovers? She had to come out firing for people to keep the interest. The WNBA is proving to be way harder to play against than girls who will be doctors, or teachers or moms 3 months from when you last played them.   If she can not avg 25-30 a game she is not a star.

    Probably a stupid question for the GC, but what are these DEI departments doing that we don’t like? 

    DEI is just another name for "no white males allowed" policies.  It is discrimination paraded around as being equity.

    Flying a rickety old helicopter in the fog through mountains isn't a good idea, even if Allah is your co-pilot.

    In April 1943, the United States Army Air Forces shot down the aircraft of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese commander in chief, after American code breakers identified his flight plans. Yamamoto was the mastermind behind the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This is what I thought of immediately when I heard this. It did not have to be "shot down" it could have been an EMP or any sort of US government toy.  It could have been a opportunity  that could not be passed up on.

    He's also due for major regression at 30

    It seems like you are more focused on the idea that every rb drops off at 30 and not the chances he has to produce.  . Moshert had 18 last year at 31.

    Three years ago, my company came out and stated that within 5 years, a certain percentage (45%, I think) of executive level employees would be women or POC. This can only be achieved by firing white males and hiring others accordingly, credentials be damned.

    Also, every job posted needs to have a "diverse" pool of interviewees, as well as a "diverse" panel of interviewers. Every time I have to interview a candidate, this same girl has to sit in on it. She knows why she's there. She rolls her eyes and says "I'm only here because I'm female".

    What is funny to me is the fact that HR will insist that they need a diverse set of candidates and interviewees and then have 80 percent of their HR made up of women. No diversity at all. But they sure as hell push it.

    Got into an argument not too long ago with a liberal insisting that AIDS wasn't primarily spread by and killing gay men.  Insisted it was killing everyone hetero and homo sexual alike equally.

    Even Disney couldn't write a story this absurd, right?

    Same thing with Monkeypox.

    I wouldn't touch that, even with your money. You know Lamar is going to hoard some of those red zone TDs. 

    I was thinking more like 12 total. 

    The stats say that was not the truth last year. Jackson took 5/25 of the rushes within the 5.  Edwards had 13 tds All while averaging 1.6 ypc within the 5 with a good line.  The Titans were 29/32 in Oline year.

    You know when you see a sign that says lane ends and everyone gets into the correct lane except for a few as$holes who speed down the closed lane until right at the last second and jump ahead of everyone.

     

    Well I started swerving in front of them so that they have to wait in line like everyone else. Sometimes i worry about the person shooting me though.

    Maybe understand that zipper merges make things go faster?

    Affirmative action?

    The Rooney Rule?

    The sponsorship of minority based networking groups.

    At my company, there has been a rotation program that trained young engineers for management.  They didn't say they were excluding white males, but when they post the group photo every year, it's clear they're excluding white males... Unless we think there isn't a single white male in a yearly class of 50 that is qualified for the program.

    I've been on recruiting trips for 20 years where we were given clear direction to seek out minority candidates.  They even counted up the groups in the car leaving.  "Ok, there were 8 hispanic males, 4 Hispanic women.  6 African American males...."

    What is crazy is they do not even hide it. They have no shame at all in what they are doing. When asked about it they are honest and up front. They simply do not care who you bring in as long as it is not a white male or an Indian male.  They use the guise of DEI to discriminate under another name.  I worked for an online therapy place  where I was literally the only straight white male out of 20 people in the recruiting department. They  told me that all I was to look for were women. Did not matter how good the male applicants were I was to reject them outright. Never even got to the recruiter screen. The funny part is that  the women that got to the end round interview were creeped out by their founder and typically bailed at that point.

    There is nothing wrong with expanding the list of candidates, opening doors, etc.  That's not illegal and it's commendable.

    It is not expanding the list of candidates. It is subtracting white people. These 2 are very different things and what YOU are trying to pass off is why DEI is so dangerous. It seems like a great idea to expand the candidates. IFFFF that is what happens. Which is not.

    We sought to end the behavior....not continue it.....   we saw it as wrong, and corrected course.....now we should go back to it? No thank you.

    That is exactly what it is. I have worked in recruiting for many years now and I can 100 percent assure you that DEI is a cover for anti white policies. I have had a hiring manager look at me and tell me they are looking for someone "that does not look like you" looking like you being a white male.  I had one HM reject any candidate that was white. No matter the skill level. I am being told to "focus on dei candidates" which is a code for do not hire white people. The liberals out there will tell you that is not what DEI is intended for. However that is absolutely what happens in practice.

    Might be some truth to this, but given that Trump was already president and did nothing, he shouldn't garner any support again, right?

    Saying trump did nothing is absolutely not correct.  President Trump signed the historic FIRST STEP ACT into law. 90 percent of those who have had their sentences reduced are Black Americans. Black poverty hit an all time low in 2019 under trump. President Trump restored funding and increased investment for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by 14 percent.In 2018, President Trump signed a budget deal which forgave more than $300 million in debt owed by four HBCUs impacted by natural disasters and provided $10 million in loan payment deferments for schools that face financial difficulties, including HBCUs.

     

    Biden banned menthols and then unbanned them because it could cost him votes.
