6 new job openings, work needed to do diversity?

uhh. no. i betrayed the topic’s purpose.
it’s encouraging that 6 have left this work, hopefully to find better use for their lives, employment or other, and these jobs generally disappear. (DEI was noted earlier on the former page.)

IRL, i haven’t seen good fruits resulting from vows to DEI. DEI/DIE?

What happens in universities matters, ideological experiments+fantasies are taken out into society, as if they are proven fact.

Why is it encouraging news that 6 black women are leaving Hollywood media companies?

Do you think that they don't belong there or something?

This must be a spoof, for future consideration; i don’t notice anything about KJP going anywhere.
It’s a job!

i’m pretty sure this case was discussed on forum, not sure where, or how extensively.

WEDDING CRASHER/THIEF (dress nicely)

In the recent past, this would have been judged as CRIME, and nothing else.
Current POLICIES create new jobs: THEFT is one, and not the worst. (hmm, will IRS begin to go after thieves for tax evasion?)

In Jan 2021, a cousin was killed by a driver after leaving a city bus (after work) on her way home.
Smaller town, no traffic, no weather problems, it was cold and dark, daylight is short in January.

The female driver stopped, tried to assist, when police arrived, they asked questions, no breath test or other, nothing, she was released to drive away in her car, end of story. Local news reports shared names+pics of my cousin, the driver was not named or mentioned.

The driver works at the local university. i believe staff.

My cousin’s parents never wanted revenge, at all. They are disturbed to think this could happen. No legal consequences, no manslaughter, nothing. Not 10 minutes at the police station.

If a dog had been hit+killed in the same location, would it have been any different?

When crime actually pays, secular political policies create new employment models. Denial won’t stop it.

Falco Knotwise:
In sum, fascism wants to remake man in its own image.

Certainly what it shares in common with Marxism. Marxism explicitly wishes to create Socialist Man.

Fascism explicitly wishes to create Fascist Man.

P.13 / viewtopic.php?t=6221&start=120

Abandoning the bedrock belief that man is created in the image of God is a grave error.

Human reasoning is not sufficient for life on earth. It’s been tried throughout history.

.. Request ..
i realize now i’m tempting off-topic discussion, this topic is about JOBS/WORK, not about rights/wrongs of policies.
if there are (questionable/formerly illegal) new occupations developing, those can be noted here, alongside the conventional and/or comical.

The U.S. used to be described as a “nation of laws.” Presently, “a nation embracing lawlessness.”
Time to acknowledge it, label it, register it with IRS and other taxing bodies? Teach it? - (oops. already in progress).

i apologize if this is confusing.

Former Home Depot CEO sounds alarm on 'tremendous shift' in labor market
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/former-h ... 26919.html

A former top corporate America executive is warning that the U.S. economy is not on a fast track to recovery,
as higher inflation and more mass layoffs loom over markets.

"The general population will not be duped by this aversion to try and blame inflation on corporate America. It starts at the raw materials, it starts at transportation, it starts at energy," former Home Depot and Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli said Monday on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast." "A whole host of things that are driving this up, wage increases."

"We're now seeing people being laid off," he continued, "If you look at [semiconductor] chips, they've laid off almost 40,000 people. We're seeing a tremendous shift in employment out there where people are being laid off."

In the last two weeks, companies like Cisco, Snap, Estée Lauder, Amazon, Citigroup and UPS have all announced layoffs as executives tighten their belts amid rate volatility.

The pace of job cuts by U.S. employers accelerated at the start of 2024, as a recent report from business firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that companies planned 82,307 job cuts in January, a substantial 136% increase from the previous month. ..

.. However, that is down about 20% from the same time one year ago.
It marked the second-highest layoff total for the month of January in data going back to 2009.

"Ford laid people off because of EV[s]. GM laid people off because of the cruise program. We're just seeing Stellantis lay people off because of the UAW wage increase," Nardelli said. "So, no, I think we're still in an inflationary period. I think we're not going to see a soft landing would be my prediction, but I hope I'm wrong."

The Labor Department said Tuesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price of everyday goods including gasoline, groceries and rent, rose 0.3% in January from the previous month, more than expected.

Prices climbed 3.1% from the same time last year, which also came in above the 2.9% expectation from Refinitiv economists.

Nardelli correctly predicted that Tuesday’s CPI number would rise, meaning that pressure remains to continue the Fed’s aggressive rate trajectory.

The former CEO noted that the public doesn’t truly understand how high rates "are killing" middle and lower-market companies.

"We've seen companies where we've had $2 million of interest rates now explode to $12, $13, $14 million.
And the free cash flow that we generate is going to pay the man," Nardelli explained. "We cannot afford the type of interest rates that we're buried [in] today. I mean, you couldn't afford it as an individual in trying to balance your budget."

"This is all about, I think, trying to buy votes.
This is all about an administration that is out of control," he continued.
"We have a strong bias towards spending versus having a conservative policy or a sustainable future."

It’s rather amusing to see 5% described as “high rates”.

i agree.

i try to give my adult children perspective, that, for the majority of my long life, 7% mortgage interest rates floated between “a lofty dream” to “possible but impossibly low,” to “quite good.” For a period in my life, the public was assured there would “never again” be 30 year fixed mortgages, rates would be double-digit AND adjustable-only. That was an economically BLEAK period.

The anomaly was for fixed mortgage interest rates to be below 7% for a few years .. those who are groomed to have “no memory” along with no sense of history are easily misled. Very low interest rates directly contributed to over the top home sales prices.

The power of msm propaganda is terrific.
