schlaes' degree was in english. everything she "knows" about economics is based on her political affiliations.
Yeah, there is always some little niggling detail you can nit pick... Saul Alinsky taught you well.
while i appreciate the righgtwingnut obsession with alinsky, i have never read alinsky.
again, she has an english degree. she is not an economist and no actual responsible economists buy the nonsense she tells you.
i can't help it if you're deluded.
I fully understand what you're saying and think JoeB is an idiot. However, JoeB is one of those that thinks it's wrong to use race to not hire/fire someone yet perfectly OK to use race as a factor to hire someone.
He actually admitted in another thread that he wants employers to be forced to hire based on community makeup and to be monitored by government to ensure compliance. So in order to do this, they would necessarily have to hire AND fire solely on the basis of skin color.
Under his system... if I look out there and find my community is 20% more white, I have to fire 20% of my black workers and replace them with whites. Next month, if my community is 20% more Hispanic, I have to fire the whites and hire Hispanics. Otherwise, I can't be in compliance when the government man comes around.
After this was pointed out, he tried to tapdance around with some bullshit about letting "natural attrition" take care of it... but that poses a problem with any way of enforcing compliance.
And the underlying racism of his plan is the systemic segregation it would create. As companies attempted to hire based on community makeup, the minority in the community would increasingly find it harder to get jobs and they would be forced into communities where they were in the majority. Over time, you'd have predominately white communities... which is what JoeB is probably wanting.
I don't know that Joe thought that far into the firing part and got past the hiring part.
I had one like him several years ago use that argument that businesses should be forced to hire based on societal makeup in the area so I posed a scenario to him which he contradicted himself significantly. It was related to sports.
It was when the Rooney Rule was put into place that NFL teams had to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior operations position. I posed the scenario that if he believed a business should be required to hire based on society makeup that NFL teams should have to do the same. It included players, too. That means there would be 22 white, 4 black, 4 hispanic, 1 asian and 1 native American.
The current NFL roster limit is 53. That means 37 whites, 7 blacks, 7 hispanics, 1 asian, and 1 native American.
Can you guess his answer?
