  2. Here’s another article, but I’m guessing you’ll say The NY Times is too biased and the quote is not specific enough: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/03/us/springfield-ohio-school-bus-crash-haiti-immigrants.html?rsrc=flt&smid=url-share For decades, Springfield had been another shrinking Midwestern town with an uncertain future. Manufacturing plants had shuttered, fueling an exodus. Empty Victorian mansions on Fountain Avenue, erected for industrial barons, stood as relics of the town’s heyday. The population dwindled to less than 60,000 by 2014, from more than 80,000 in 1960. Around that time, Springfield crafted a strategic plan to attract business. City leaders pitched the town’s affordability, its work force development programs and its location, smack-dab between Columbus and Dayton and accessible to two interstates. In 2017, Topre, a major Japanese auto parts manufacturer, picked Springfield for a new plant in a decaying part of town that had been the site of International Harvester, a farm equipment manufacturer that was once the biggest employer. By 2020, Springfield had lured food-service firms, logistics companies and a microchip maker, among others, creating an estimated 8,000 new jobs and optimism for the future. “It was incredible to witness the transformation of our community,” said Horton Hobbs, vice president of economic development for the Greater Springfield Partnership, which executed the plan. But soon there were not enough workers. Many young, working-age people had descended into addiction. Others shunned entry-level, rote work altogether, employers said.

    I don’t think I should ask them any questions, might get lawfully handcuffed according to you

    Lol he wasn’t arguing, he was calmly talking and asking non-threatening questions, such as ”how far back do you want me to be?” ”I just want to know what happened” ”is it legal for me to stand here?” You forgot to clarify in your summary that literally before the officer is done saying “one more time, I’m giving you an order to get out of here” Campbell was walking away. I guess it wasn’t really “one more time” then huh? Sounds like you think Darlington should have been handcuffed for twice approaching Scheffler then too, got it.
  6. From first link I posted in the earlier reply to you (April 2022, no mention of Haitians): “There are more openings than there are people right now to go into the workforce” From second link (this week, about Haitians): “We needed a workforce. They are coming in and they are working hard and they want to make money."

    Lol, no you didn’t.
  10. Horsecrap still doesn’t know how Twitter works. Elon makes you have an account now.

    You said he had pronouns in his social media profile. Lie. You said you saw the discord screenshots. Lie. And the actual report on the discord posts is that he was anti-trans, try again liar.
  12. Works fine, learn to use a computer dumbazz

    You lied about the Georgia shooter having pronouns and a rainbow flag on his social media, and about having seen the discord screenshots. It’s ok you can admit it.

    Surprised you’d make another appearance in this thread after multiple confirmed lies
  15. So quoting the Director of workforce development for the greater Springfield partnership is giving my opinionated conclusion, got it.
  16. Well there were more openings than unemployed people, and there were still unemployed people, so unless all those openings were high skill jobs, it would imply that some unemployed people chose not to work, right? I mean, have you seen some of these people being interviewed? I also never said there was nothing bad that has occurred as a result of the influx of Haitians, and have specifically mentioned some of the issues that are actually real. Overall, there’s a decent argument that they’ve been a net positive compared to before they arrived, when population and incomes were declining, and abandoned buildings were increasing.
  17. By “couldn’t,” I meant there were apparently more openings than unemployed people, not they they were jobs the prior residents couldn’t do, at least according to Amy Donahoe, who is the director for workforce development for the Greater Springfield Partnership (as of April 2022) Source - https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/60-clark-county-employers-are-looking-to-hire-during-thursday-job-fair/B6PP3RAXXRBG3N5BIMVITSSBPM/ The above link doesn’t even mention Haitians, but Ms Donahoe was also quoted in a recent article about the Haitians, saying “We needed a workforce. They are coming in and they are working hard and they want to make money." Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/haitian-immigrants-fueled-springfields-growth-now-us-presidential-debate-2024-09-11/ One other comment from that article I found interesting was about the rent issue. It does show rent prices increasing faster than the national average (I’ve seen conflicting data on that), but actually states the number of vouchers being used is down, which suggests that Haitians aren’t actually using government vouchers for housing specifically. Which if true would be an interesting twist if people complaining about the Haitians being on government assistance and forcing them to get evicted, were themselves on government housing assistance. (For the record I don’t think that should happen and seems to ultimately be due to slumlords, but it would still be a bit hypocritical IMO) Speaking of Haitians being taken advantage of, that could be another reason employers like them. This article is kinda vague but apparently some businesses are being investigated for planning to bring in immigrants without town officials’ knowledge- https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-mayor-investigation-into-businesses-immigration-continues/W4OJQYSNUBF7JCMSD72VVQGNQI/ I also posted the below article in the other thread which I thought gave a good overview of the overall situation from before the recent hysteria, and also talks about labor shortages: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/12/12/how-a-childs-death-caused-an-ohio-city-to-turn-on-its-haitian-community
  18. It says the health care system is “overtaxed,” but the only time the word “crisis” was used in the article was about housing. It also talked about the driving issues. In other words, these are legitimate issues that I’ve talked about. But I still wouldn’t say they’re a net negative for the city which was losing population and income for years prior to the Haitians arriving.
  19. The entire city is drafting a petition? That’s a lot of people involved
  20. Well for starters the majority of Haitians in Springfield are in the country legally

    Tyreek Hill stopped by the police before game

    Well no, I don’t think standing in a public area or asking a question would fit the legal definition of “opposed”
  22. TimHauck

    Tyreek Hill stopped by the police before game

    Yes please cite me the law that he broke.
  23. TimHauck

    Tyreek Hill stopped by the police before game

    Do you disagree that Scheffler was accused of a much more serious crime?
  24. TimHauck

    Tyreek Hill stopped by the police before game

    Uh, I’m not the one that brought up Scheffler. I’ll let the official review decide, but no I do not personally think Campbell was legally detained. Just to confirm, you think the cops would have been well within their rights to cuff Darlington as well, correct?
