Hey gang, I showed up late for this but the District Court in California is hearing the RIF case -- the unions asking for a restraining order on Trump firing people during the government shutdown. Here is a link to the live Zoom hearing in progress, DO NOT FUCK AROUND, MUTE YOUR MICROPHONE, AND DO NOT RECORD IT BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO SO.

DO NOT FUCK AROUND, MUTE YOUR MICROPHONE, AND DO NOT RECORD IT BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO SO.
 
I want to know what planet these people live on...for the past thirty years the US has been flooded with illegals, refugees, and detrimental immigrants. Thug culture has been pushed to every corner of the country and every type of event. The criminal justice system has been turned from a revolving door into a gaping hole unless it is persecuting enemies of progress.

The purpose is very clear so when you ask Is this how America should look my answer is: I have been asking that for the last twenty years and the answer is no so I had to vote for a guy I do not really like in the desperate hope something will be done to avert total destruction.
 

Goldman economists on the Gen Z hiring nightmare: ‘Jobless growth’ is probably the new normal (L | A)​

... what Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell memorably described in September as a “low-hire, low-fire” labor market, in which, for some reason, “kids coming out of college and younger people, minorities, are having a hard time finding jobs.” Some analysts blame the downturn in entry-level hiring on the impact of AI on the economy, others on macroeconomic uncertainty, especially the seesawing tariffs regime from the Trump administration. The takeaway is clear, though, that getting hired is really hard in the mid-2020s.​

Definitely AI, not because immigration exceeds job creation.
Trump can end this overnight.

OPT / STEM-OPT visa is a 1 to 3 year work authorization post graduation where companies do not have to pay payroll taxes for new F-1 visa graduates. There is no national cap and no salary requirements. An Indian new grad is willing to work for $50k where that new job should be much higher.

Rubio turned out to be surprisingly competent. Trump must have bullied him into becoming a man
I think Rubio is fine where he is and he doesn't need a promotion at all. The idea of Rubio becoming President freaks me out because he's pretty much a neocon retard that is being kept in check by Trump. I like him as he is right now but I don't trust him to lead the country.
 
The judge -- a woman, and a Clinton appointee -- is very obviously looking for ways to grant the restraining order. The admin lawyer arguing against it, a young woman, seems ill-prepared. The judge is demanding to address the merits of the case, and the admin lawyer evidently did not prepare any merits arguments for today (because it's just about the restraining order, they weren't expecting to have to litigate the actual case).

The unions lawyer, the ones asking for the restraining order, she is up and talking about how the actions are "so completely unlawful" and blah blah they fired people who are actively working on measles outbreaks, waaaahhhh! Really seizing on the fact that the admin lawyer did not prepare to argue on the merits. I dunno whether that was genuinely expected or proper since the hearing is just supposed to be about the request for a TRO.

Just fire the whole fucking union. Fire them all. Judge can yell and scream all she wants, but no money flowing == no lazy ass union workers (or especially reps) are gonna work for free.

Who cares just ignore the judge if she grants the order
 
Not kidding when I say whoever leaked this needs to be hung for treason. Get the journo too.

Good job Boeing. Gosh, I wonder if they're in need of some bailout money to fix their shit?

Hopefully, even though they didn't prep merits arguments, they've got an appeal to SCOTUS ready to submit when this judge grants the order. It's blisteringly obvious that the judge is going to grant it.
 
it doesnt untill we mandate you need a driver licence to vote & most driver licenses in the US are vetted.
so... they got tired of using dead people to vote? at least it's not fingerprint biometrics, in which using dead people to vote becomes much, much easier like in here because silicon fingers can trick the readers... :tomgirl:
 
I'm getting increasingly annoyed by people named Prateep Nahaharmadashit saying crap like "this isn't what America stands for! This isn't who we are!"

Nigger who the fuck is "we" you are a hostile foreigner who's culture and values are almost incomprehensible with how alien and at odds with the historic American nation they are.

Fuck off and kill yourself.

on the woman question:

you're not interacting with women as a class from a position of protective dominance, you are probably going to interact with the woman you marry from that position because mostly that works for most people of normal sexuality

when you talk about telling women what to do or fixing white women or being our boss you just sound stupid because we're not sexually attracted to you. maybe you need to big each other up about that in private male spaces, I have no idea, but it's not based or trad as a public attitude.

men and women interact with each other in many many many ways and the way to "fix white women" is to enforce social rules and a legal system that make women both feel safe and actually be reasonably safe (those are not the same thing). a woman who is constantly freaked out by dudes in public is going to be much less willing to entertain the possibility of being in private with one.

and on a more philosophical level, you don't need to do anything to re-establish normal human behavior or anything else natural. It's constantly trying to re-establish itself. Our job is to remove the obstacles and defend against harm. women in safe, white, western cultures are *extremely interested in men* because the sexes are interested in each other, that's how we work. if you took a high school of zoomers and took away their phones and put them on an island they'd all be paired off in a couple months.
