New firefighters have to undergo some tests before being accepted, both physical and academic. Those tests are designed to measure their likely performance at the job.

And easier tests are created specifically for female firefighters, not to run into embarassing Women to become NY firefighter despite failing crucial fitness test

And your point was?

It's a real thing that Democrats are really pushing for in. Look up "New York post birth abortion" - it's seriously something that Democrats are pushing. Like, not a joke, they birth the baby as normal and then jam a spike through its brain to kill it. Again, not a joke, this is a real thing Democrats have legalized in some "blue" states.

It sounds like Congressional Democrats are really bad at hiring staff.

Congressional Democrats are really bad, period.

By publishing their personal/direct cell/email/etc... info which isn't publicly available?

We're literally at the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, and you're complaining???

You must have really lambasted Obama when he was in office over his job statistics, right?

Of course not. Remember, anything bad that happened during Obama's term was Bush's fault. Now, anything bad is Trump's fault. Anything good was because of Obama during his term. Also, the good economy now is because of Obama.

Remember:

R = bad
D = good

We're literally at the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, and you're complaining???

You must have really lambasted Obama when he was in office over his job statistics, right?

Meanwhile, the U.S. is at the lowest unemployment claims since 1969, which is even better considering there are a lot more people in the workforce now.

At 3.8%, a 50-year low, we're currently beyond what most economists would consider "full employment", with more job openings than people looking for work. All this reported news, combined with the 196K new jobs in March, means is that companies are restructuring and jobs are moving from less efficient uses of people's time to more efficient and valuable uses, which is exactly what we want in order to continue to build wealth in the country.

I'm sure the /. editors will be posting a story about all that anytime now....

Unsure about Europe but it's definitely a possibility in the US. Here some citations from different states: https://nypost.com/2017/07/23/... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne... https://wgno.com/2016/07/28/co...

She will give everyone free tuition and UBI along with free healthcare and free solar panels to put on your free house.

And she already answered the question of where the funding will come from: "You just pay for it."

Capitalism is failing

To paraphrase an old saying, capitalism is the worst way to run an economy - except for all the others...

When 'C'apitalism fails, a lot of people lose jobs and have to figure out what to do.

When 'S'ocialism fails, you wind up with results from people getting drinking water from sewers, to 20 million (or more) dead...

The funny thing is, that socialism will always be roundly rejected by the majority of Americans. Would you like to know why? Because quite a lot the victims of socialists disasters through the decades, all end up here with the US being about as opposite from Socialism as you can get... they come in, a constant stream of people with fresh and painful memories of the literal horrors you wish to bring down on a healthy and happy populace.

Twelve years to Climageddon. You just pay for it. Just illegally shuffle money between PACs and LLCs. Unemployment is low because everyone is working two jobs. Need I go on?

Meng Wanzhou than what has been previously reported. Known in the country as "Princess Meng," her grandfather, who was vice governor of China’s largest province, was a close friend to Chairman Mao during the Chinese Civil War. The New York Post calls her "Communist royalty." And currently, she is being groomed to succeed her dad, Ren Zhengfei, as chairman of Huawei. Don't forget that the company is the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, and the global leader in networking equipment.

But there is more. The Post article calls Huawei a "spy agency" for the Communist party and reaches this conclusion by noting that the Communist party has called for all companies in the country to join forces to gather information. Article 7 of China’s National Intelligence Law states that "All organizations and citizens must support, assist with, and collaborate in national intelligence work, and guard the national intelligence work secrets they are privy to."

I bet also they realized it was going to be even more expensive to have employees in NYC due to the new Fed tax law. Higher tax states like New York have become even more highly taxed due to the cap on the state level income tax deduction from federal taxes (SALT).

Uhm, there are a lot of things going on in China that's fsck up.

For example:
China's hidden camps
Organ harvesting in China
Mass sterilization in China

Just go to google and start typing china forced to see the common theme.

Just look at these articles "White woman call cops on black woman" ( http://archive.fo/T4qIo archive of Metro's article)

Plot twist: They're BOTH Hispanic. Didn't stop the news from race baiting.

The NY Post too, later corrected the article but the URL itself still shows how they pushed the "white woman" angle at first ( https://nypost.com/2018/08/02/... )

They have created Schrödinger's Hispanic: They're neither black or white until a narrative need to be observed.

Roger Stone is indicted for blatantly lying before congress and witness tampering.

That would be fair if the law was applied equally, but when are they going to arrest any Democrat for blatantly lying before Congress about running arms to al-Qaeda and Mexican drug lords, giving $billions to Iran, having the GCHQ spy on the opposing party's candidates, or any of a half dozen other scandals that would have gotten anyone other than America's First Black President impeached and possibly hanged for treason, or "witness tampering" Michael Hastings, FBI Anon, the DNC's "Russian hacker", and several pizzagate investigators and sources?

There has been two years of noise about possible Russian interference in the election because Donald Trump did business with the Russians as part of an FBI sting operation that got a Russian bank sanctioned. When are they going to talk about Qatari interference in the election? Do you remember the "Safe Space" campaign a few years ago or the appearance of "Social Justice" "feminists" who never badmouthed Islam but tried to tell you that Hamas was a feminist group? That was them. Have you heard of Common Core? That was also a Qatari operation by the same people who put Jamal Khashoggi at the Washington Post.

Sad thing is the crazy people who actually worry about this don't realize they are the butt of a colossal joke and actually get upset when you try to explain it to them.

They didn't NEED a supermajority to pass a simple bill

Yes they did

From the article, on the vote to pass the original Republican plan just before the Democrats took over the house:

That legislation doesnâ(TM)t have the 60 votes needed for passage in the Senate

I think I corrected you before, so doesn't that make you the dumbest person on the planet you cannot learn from corrections?

Just the fact you didn't even know that sets you at a certain questionable base level of civic ignorance.

Walls work for El Paso, TX, what makes you think they won't work in other locations? When about 89% of border patrol agents say a wall will help them do their job, why do you insist otherwise? Do you believe you know more about enforcement of border laws and the issues/problems faced than the actual agents on the border?

El Paso's wall works, it cut illegal immigration by 89%. Not quite the 99% of Israel, but nothing to sneeze at either, eh?

Walls work. And not only do walls work, with the same force you can see a 4-10X reduction in illegal immigrant. That seems to be pretty convincing, and it's backed by hard data. Walls work to enhance security. Otherwise, why do we put walls around prisons, or even add doors to the cells?

Walls worked for El Paso. Why don't you think it would work in other places? Why do you close and lock your doors when you leave your home?

They already did something about private mis-use of private info, that was in March of 2017. It was that bill which gave permission for ISPs to sell your information to people like, for example, bounty hunters.

If you want them to prevent rather than enable the mis-use of private info, you're going to have to wait for a different president and a consequently better FCC.

This is a copy-paste that I wrote for somewhere else, do as you will with it.

I have observed something, and it has increased with time, having recently brought it up to my father-in-law, who is also a tech field worker, he agreed with me. The people - both voluntarily and at some prodding are giving up control and ownership of everything - slowly.

What brought it to my attention is streaming services. Despite being a quite technical individual I skipped out on the early part of the streaming fad, due in part to living in an area with unreliable web access and literally working in a faraday cage without WiFi access during that time period. I doubled down on the previous fad - ripping and compressing, instead and continue that to this day.

The result - people are lost without access to Spotify. No Netflix, no movies. You unplug the average person from the Internet these days and they no longer have the ability to use their entertainment systems.

I originally contemplated the pros and cons of going all online versus what I was doing - are we really missing anything by not owning our media? In time I began to realize it didn't stop at media.

Younger people don't want to own anything.

We are watching the formation of dependence culture.

Young people aren't driving anymore, which like everything else is a mix of good and bad. Even when I was privileged enough to be able to bike to work and back, and even for my grocery shopping and most everything else I still kept a license and a vehicle. Something I've noted at work - the younger a coworker is the less likely they are to have any damned tools to work with, and it doesn't appear to be tied to not having had enough time to accumulate them. While doing a little research about that tidbit I stumbled across an article about the non-ownership topic from the other perspective written in a way that meets my approval.

It's important after that last article I make myself clear. I am not condemning the passing of materialism culture. Far from it. I personally have reduced my materialism and even the footprint of what I personally own. I am however against submission and dependence culture - both of which are adopted when you give up your ability to do for yourself by depending on services - AKA being served - exclusively.

I want to go back to tools. Even though I've reduced the amount of junk I personally own, something I do own a healthy share of is tools. Tools are to me, a different kind of possession. They aren't possessions that say "Look at me!", they aren't something that I use as a status symbol, they aren't pointless possessions. No - tools are something that says "I've got this." I use my tools to make a living, to do for myself, to teach. My tools give me independence and if used properly can even be used to spread independence.

I think we're heading down a dangerous path. When most of the people rent someone still has to own what was rented. When people do nothing but stream someone still has control of the source material. When you don't have your own tools you have to depend on someone to provide them for you. When you can't control your own propulsion you can only go where others will take you. In situations where the many are dependent on the few, the few tend to get fewer in time as they are bought out or consolidated after deaths, etc... In turn the fewer the sources of provision are, the more power the providers have. Eventually we all become slaves existing at the leisure of those who control the resources.

Flynn: no lawyers in his multiple FBI interviews
Hillary!: nine lawyers in her one FBI interview, no notes by FBI allowed

Flynn: failed to register as a foreign agent while he was a private citizen
Hillary!: made millions via Clinton Foundation from Russia while she was Secretary of State approving Uranium One deal.

Flynn: going to jail
Hillary!: Free despite setting up a private email server, almost certainly hacked by multiple foreign intelligence services, and putting classified data on it. Free despite having her uncleared maid handle top secret information. Free despite directing subordinate to remove classification markings and send classified data via her insecure email.

ALL those stories were created by the Russians to discredit Clinton to get Trump elected.

WUT?!?!

Check the date on that NY Times story about Crooked Hillary! profiting from the Uranium One sale to Russian oligarchs - it's from April 2015 .

April 2015, dunderhead.

Jesus H. Mother Fucking Christ, you are stupid.

Calling you dumb as a post would be an insult to every acorn in the forest with dreams of getting buried, sprouting, growing into a tree, getting cut down, hauled to a lumber mill, hewn into a post, and planted as part of a fucking fence.

You utter fucking imbecile.

I cannot believe you're so gullible...

The sad thing is you probably think you're smart.

Astronomers worldwide are lamenting the fact you don't have a twin - the moment you two got too close, the miniature black holes that you think are brains would merge and we'd be able to see gravitational waves up close, probably leading to theories that unify gravity with other forces.

Of course, the concentrated combined stupidity would probably retroactively erase human knowledge back to ancient Greece...

So? Clinton was found innocent. Flynn and the entire Trump administration are criminals. Your point?

Found innocent?

By who?

Comey weasel-worded Hillary!'s "innocence" by claiming she didn't knowingly violate laws regarding the handling of classified data, which is actually irrelevant per the law. Not only that, that's factually false anyway, because Hillary! is known to have directed a subordinate to actually remove classification markings and send a secure fax via nonsecure email.

And why weren't Cohen or Flynn offered immunity prior to their FBI interviews, like Cheryl Mills was?

The list of double standards is endless - Hillary! got away with felonies and her aides got immunity, Trump aides go to jail after being forced to plead guilty to non-crimes. (And no, Trump's payoffs to women are NOT "illegal campaign contributions" - Trump's done those for years, which means by law they're not campaign contributions. Period. Full stop. The more you argue they are, the more you reinforce the fact that Trump's being held to a standard no one else has ever been.)

And unlike you, I have actual factual reporting linked in to back up my claims.

It's about on par with the damage you see from bird strikes, and they weigh about the same. The difference being that birds are mostly soft pieces of meat which compress to absorb energy and bounce off, while drones are made of hard components which concentrate their energy into a smaller surface area and can thus penetrate further.

Odds are it's a bird strike, not a drone strike. There are something like a hundred billion birds aloft at any give time, while there are probably only a few tens of thousand of drones aloft at any given time. And there have been bird strikes before which left little to no organic matter. Not saying a drone strike can't happen, just that a plane is much more likely to hit a bird.

No Jews allowed. The apartment-sharing service has sided against Israel by banning and delisting the apartments of peaceful Jewish civilians living in Judea and Samaria. And that’s not even the worst part.

Nor is the worst part that Airbnb is helping propel the destructive myth that Jews would abandon their claim to the disputed West Bank if only there were enough international pressure.

No, the worst part is that Airbnb has singled out Jews, and only Jews, as the one group in the world that is worthy of such censure. That’s what makes its boycott a naked act of corporate anti-Semitism.

and run your own server at home.

Or in a bathroom closet!

Politics is dominated by money.

Trump spent about half of what Clinton did on his way to the presidency.

The internet enabled fake news in a way people were unprepared for.

Which had no discernible effect.

The Democrats were too concerned with doing the right thing instead of winning.

Yeah, right.

No, stations. ABC in Seattle or LA has a pretty different "take" on things than ABC in Boise or Louisville. Yes, those in the media is overwhelmingly leftists but I would say that is more a function of the individuals rather than a corporate "principle". Corporations - even media - tend to want to make money. Lots of those in the upper echelons lean heavily to the right and thus influence the media narrative, but it's because of the individuals, not a corporate charter.

How is using the Trump Organization's server any better than using one in her own home or office?

I cannot believe I am reading this sentence on a site full of people with deep technical understanding.

How is it different? Hillary's server contained MANY classified emails, and was stored in a closet in a bathroom in Denver!!

That means it was never administered with the care at corporate system would be - and indeed as a result, we can be pretty sure almost every state actor had access to the inner workings of the secretary of state. We know for sure the Chinese did. That's just remote access,, since it was stored in a persons home a common burglar could have easily just walked away with the server since it also lacked any of the physical security a corporate system has. Who knows if anyone did just that and cloned the drives, returning the system with no-one even knowing.

But lay all that aside, it also as I said laid bare the workings o the secretary of state. No disrespect to Ivanka but who cares if whatever she was doing leaked? What the wife of a president has to say has vastly less impact than the day to day emails of the secretary of state.

To this day I remain convinced that Hillary should not just have been imprisoned, she should have been tried for treason for her actions regarding state email. It mystifies me how anyone with even the slightest understanding of system administration and/or handling of classified material could feel any differently; it makes me think anyone who feels otherwise has probably been corrupted beyond redemption to be a tool for one particular political force. Why? Why on earth would you sacrifice technical understanding and morality to support such obviously criminal actions? Baffling.

Sears wasn't Bained, it was run by an idiot who put a flawed ideology, based upon a reading of Ayn Rand, as the centerpiece to Sears' strategy. Divisions were purposefully put at war with one another for no good reason, destroying the entire point of having them be part of the same company in the first place. There have been numerous fiascos causing so much in losses that stores closed even before the bankruptcy, the most infamous being one where Sears didn't extend opening hours in the run-up to Christmas one year because none of the divisions wanted to be the one proposing it, and thus forced to pay for it.

Eddie Lampert had enough evidence to realize he and the ideology he was using was running the company into the ground but continued to do so anyway, apparently oblivious to the damage he was doing.

And apparently they get left in classrooms too.

The Florida situation is a perfect example of how useless they are as the only way to make sure that ballot box was not tampered with would be to manually verify each vote with the "person" that cast it and verify its accuracy. Of course, you also have to verify that the person you are contacting IS is eligible to vote and is not trying to commit identity theft / election fraud.

Yup, never going to happen and just another way for people to try and cheat and game the system or be tricked in to thinking they can vote at the last minute and still get their voice heard, thereby reinforcing a poor state of personal responsibility to get registered AND to vote.

Oh, right. They already thought of that.

It doesn't really matter how much money you throw at something if what you're doing with it doesn't actually help. Perhaps some of these private charities that they are donating to are doing something useful, but San Francisco's approach in general doesn't seem to be at all effective. They were just named the poop capital of the U.S. this last week.

Also, I generally think people that brag about charity are kind of asshole glory hounds. It's a good thing to do, but you don't need to tell everyone else how great you are, especially if it devolves into a public fight like this. Now they both look like jackasses even for all the good that they're doing.

That changes quickly when people actually do hard work or exercise.

Bottom line the strength difference with males and females of same weight is pretty low. Females have it harder to gain muscles. Absolute strength is often lower, so is speed. But the differences are not that big. E.g. as soon as skills come into account, e.g. in martial arts, underestimating a woman is a big mistake. Same in archery or horsemanship. Sure, if I was sailing on a an cup america race, I would prefer heavy muscled men.

The differences? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sp...

In Soccer, the top women's teams regularly lose to barely post pubescent boys. I've coached Ice Hockey, and the girls are slower, and overall less aggressive. So it doesn't take much analysis to know that a Bantam Male Ice Hockey team would mop the ice with the women's Olympic team. We had a young woman on my son's Midget Hockey team (High school level) and we all loved her, and she had game and we respected her for that., but she was a couple steps slower. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when she decided to go to a girl team, where she excelled.

And it is terribly unfair that folks of your ilk seem to minimize the differences between males in females in sports. It's completely unfair to the women, as they deserve to enjoy competition too. NOw I suppose that in a wolrd where gender differences are merely a social construct, all would be equal. But trans girls now clean up in girls sports - https://www.louderwithcrowder.... https://nypost.com/2018/02/25/...

But since gender is a social construct, we have no choice but ti cherish our trans athletes. Side note: this inevitable strength difference is why feminist/trans supporters want to suppress puberty in the males they convince are females. https://www.transgendertrend.c... Once the genetic fact of puberty happens, males will become males. Kinda creepy though that you have to enforce ideology by altering nature. .
