implying women mayors lead to crime-riddled cities

good job there lightfoot
This should've happened to Chicago a LONG time ago. It's practically a war-torn city, even BEFORE the riots. If the Secret police were competent enough, they'd be making arrests and shootings back and forth like Baghdad. Unfortunately, they'd be there for a while.

Now once they leave, they'll be back to the same old, same old. If Lightfoot is so confident of her city, why don't she live in the heart of the city? See how the average citizen REALLY lives under her wing?
 
Go ahead, attack federal officers you fucking pussies, you can't even attack noodly armed antifa kids.
I think she will have a hard time finding a cop who would be willing to try and arrest a FED who is acting in his legal authority. These people like the mayor want to eliminate the cops qualified immunity so hoodrats can sue them personally. They are constantly leaving the cops out to flap in the wind when things go politically bad. They are publicly speaking in support of people who wish to see these cops killed. I think most cops are just biting their lips and doing the bare minimum hoping this shit passes and their leftists get voted out or BTFO. Long term being a cop in these cities will become impossible if things do not change.

Anyway, it's a good one.

Federal law enforcement moved in & pushed & tackled rioters away from the Portland federal courthouse after they kept returning & trying to break inside. After rioters broke the glass under the wood barrier, officers rushed in -




Those feds had a certain confidence and swagger to them, I must say, almost like they were on the 'right side of history'.

More of this.

I fucking love this. I love seeing the rioters absolute cowardice shown for all to see. All you have to do is give them back 1/10th of what they've put out and they go running, even when they vastly outnumber the feds.

If we keeping getting more content like this, it might even have been worth it in the end. (not really, but still awesome to see)
 
I’m an American minority at my Silicon Valley tech company, and I guarantee you it’s not because we don’t want to fill those positions with Americans. Visa requirements suck and almost every company (around here, afaict) would rather hire American for *most* positions. If you get laid off, as many H-1Bs in the valley did, you only have two months (+ 2 months for the CARES act) to find a new company to go through the paperwork or else you get deported.

Now, when we talk about offshoring/globohomo, it’s a little different- many of our H-1Bs started as offshore workers and then decided to move to the US. It’s still a massive pain and I’m not really “pro” H-1B, but anybody who tells you that there are no good jobs because muh foreigns is being hyperbolic.

Edit: added a qualifier. This post is 100% based on my observations and conversations with other tech workers.
Although people in general are stupid, its happening too much for it to just be stupidity, hell a few years back there was an unpaid "intership" that required 5+ years of professional IT experience. At my previous company I was trying to work my way in to IT, the company that bought out us they wanted some one who could speak English and Spanish and work on more then one IT ticket at the same time, one via ticket system the other on the phone at the same time.
Whenever I search for jobs, the entry level or junior positions always want 2 or 3 years of some bullshit.
 
Would like to know where the "destroyed neighborhood" video was. Portland? Minneapolis?

Minneapolis.

The short version of the USCIS report: the H-1B visa will displace 85,000 U.S. tech workers or block prospective tech job seekers fresh out of college. Those 85,000 jobs will go to foreign nationals for still another year under the false narrative that not enough qualified Americans are available to fill those good, well-paid positions. Congress created the H-1B visa in 1990, and for more than a quarter of a century, it has been a reliable, relentless American job killer, and has shoved aside talented, experienced U.S. tech workers.


I don’t envy anyone graduating or trying to get into tech right now for those reasons. However, I work at a company that has a significant percentage of employees as H1-B visa holders. Zero of those visa holders work in my department because you can’t trust a heavily accented pajeet to talk to household name companies that are customers. The visa holders are kept behind the curtain. The face of the company is still white Americans. My point is that it is more complicated and depends on what types of tech positions are being discussed. Basic helpdesk? H1-B is common. Engineering? Common again. Anything that requires talking to external customers or having business acumen? Not common.

We’ve had (what I would consider) some decently paid but high skill positions open pretty much constantly. From what I can tell talking to others in my field, this is more or less typical - if you want to write PHP for a bank or get mired in endless enterprise Java service refactor/migrations, the positions seem to be perpetually open.

I realize from reading the posts from others in this thread that I probably only have a very narrow view of the world from the perspective of my location and industry.

This is accurate based on my experiences at a few large companies. White Americans that I know who are hard-working and talented find tech jobs easily. I also know SJW types who are not particularly talented and will struggle to find different jobs if they try.

Whenever I search for jobs, the entry level or junior positions always want 2 or 3 years of some bullshit.

Often tech listings have overblown ”requirements” but if you can massage your resume a bit to show you have parallel experience that isn’t exactly the same as what they’re asking for, you can get an interview. If I fit 70-80% of what is listed, I apply for the job and have solid results.

Well okay, however:

It has already begun. It's what the democrats want.

And like last time, they're gonna lose bigly.
Federal government power vs the power of states?... Where have I heard this before? This is new -the last Civil War we fought was over black people that nobody in the North liked or cared about even after the war was over :^)
 
Anything that requires talking to external customers or having business acumen?
Eh, depends both in B2B and B2Consumer support I have gotten Pajeets, including things that dealt with sensative info (SSN, payroll, etc) was being outsourced to Pajeet in an Indian call center, that pissed me the hell off, specifically because the security culture of that worksite was shit, Pajeet was repeating out loud my SSN back, and was just going back to the script even when it made no sense (I need my w-4 mailed to me form an ex employer for some stuff and it was obvious there was no "script" for Pajeet for that, and they were lost).

In IT groups it just seems common advice "Get a security clearance/find a company to sponcer you for a Security clearace" as the only real way to get in to an IT job these days as an American.
 

This proves what I was saying. Notice how none of those positions are customer facing? Plus several of them could be combined into overarching categories like engineers, sysadmins, helpdesk.

Support will have plenty of foreigners, I lump them in with helpdesk. I’m trying not to PL, but I’m talking about Fortune 2000, talking to directors and executives within those companies. Those are positions that will not have pajeets in them because there is still a business facade that needs to be maintained.

So what? What should we care if they're customer facing or not? A Stolen Job is a Stolen Job.

It should also be mentioned that the jobs which are customer facing, like call centers, are not based in the US and so don't fall under these statistics. I can't even call papa johns without being put through to some pajeet who can barely understand me.

Weird, the Senator from Oregon assured me the moms were just peacefully singing nursery rhymes

Maybe they got lost on the way to a playdate.
 

That jibes with my experiences. I may not have been clear when I said I’m an American minority (I am one of the few Americans, and therefore am in the minority). However, that appears to be at least partly because there are not enough applicants for those positions; pretty much all Silicon Valley tech gets second pick of applicants after Google and Apple.

That’s why I’m meh on the H-1B. I would prefer that American citizens be treated preferentially at an American company (as I would expect in any country), but I honestly don’t know how we’d ever have enough talent if we didn’t take advantage of it. Investing in scholarships and community education, perhaps, but I don’t think my company is positioned to do such a thing,

DELET THIS


Column: Something grows in the big cities run by Democrats: An overwhelming sense of lawlessness
President Donald Trump is sending federal law enforcement into the big cities run by Democratic mayors, where murder and gang shootings are out of control and where once vibrant downtown areas are on their way to becoming ghost towns.

And naturally, the Democratic mayors, backing Joe Biden, are on the defensive, upset that the president might win political advantage, even as the mayors feud with their own police departments, as the violence rises in their towns, as children are gunned down.

But these Democratic cities are also where left-wing billionaire George Soros has spent millions of dollars to help elect liberal social justice warriors as prosecutors. He remakes the justice system in urban America, flying under the radar.

The Soros-funded prosecutors, not the mayors, are the ones who help release the violent on little or no bond.




In Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, St. Louis, and elsewhere, it is the mayors who are the faces of their cities, not the prosecutors.

And the mayors properly take the heat as the violence spikes.

How do the people process all of the politics, amid those stories counting the dead and wounded?

Politicians speak with their tongues. Taxpayers don’t hold news conferences. But they do vote with their feet. And they leave.

The mayors play to their base, condemning Trump publicly for federal overreach, even as their overwhelmed police departments welcome all the help they can get.

Chaos is indeed a ladder.

If Trump truly wants to help the cities, he might privately call the mayors and ask them about the prosecutors backed by Soros.

These prosecutors are among the few politicians in America who have delivered on their promises. They promised to empty their jails through the social justice warrior policy of “decarceration.” They also help give repeat, violent criminals little or no bond when arrested.

And in many of the violent cities, the prosecutors have delivered on their promises, not to keep the violent in jail, but to let them out.



George Soros, the billionaire investor and Democratic donor, in Southampton, New York, on July 3, 2018. (Damon Winter/The New York Times)

In Democratic Chicago, for example, the Soros prosecutor is Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. In her 2020 campaign, she reportedly received at least $2 million from a Soros backed political action committee.

Foxx doesn’t have a stellar legal reputation. Her office is under investigation for how it handled that Jussie Smollett fiasco. But she’d like to climb the ladder and become a U.S. senator.

She’s the protege of Cook County Democratic boss Toni Preckwinkle, the president of the Cook County Board. And Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans is on the Preckwinkle social justice warrior team too.

Foxx announced years ago she wouldn’t aggressively prosecute shoplifters. This preceded a wave of shoplifting gangs violently hitting the boutiques on North Michigan Avenue, long before looting and unrest grew out of the George Floyd protests.

And Lori Lightfoot takes the heat. She’ll have to decide whether to call Foxx out herself, or just keep taking that heat.

Foxx put out a memo on June 30 reinforcing her wokeness, informing Chicago’s City Hall and police that she will not prosecute “peaceful protesters.”

In the hours after the Floyd protests here, many were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and curfew violations. These are tools used by mayors to compel order in cities.

But Foxx doesn’t see it that way. She sides with the woke.

A recent Chicago Tribune investigation found that of 162 offenders arrested and charged with felonies before the Floyd protests — and who were bailed out by liberal social justice warrior groups — more than 1 in 5 were charged with new offenses.

Other Soros-backed prosecutors in other cities play a similar game.

They won’t anger their base when they release violent offenders back into poor neighborhoods to commit other violent acts on poor people. The left is their base. This is what they want, what Soros paid for.

In Democratic cities across America, the shootings increase, the murder rates soar, and street gangs are emboldened. Meanwhile, the angry white woke world, with their Black Lives Matter allies, continue to attack public monuments to Western culture. And police.

This all leads to scenes such as the one in Chicago the other day, with cops trying to protect a statue of Christopher Columbus in Grant Park, overwhelmed by a large, angry mob. Dozens in the crowd carried black umbrellas to hide their identities, as they dumped cases of frozen water bottles on the ground. And the mob threw them like bricks at the heads of officers.

Lightfoot, nationally famous for her anti-Trump commentary, was somewhat measured about federal agents coming to Chicago. And the other day she was incensed at what she termed a “coordinated attack” on cops at the Columbus statue.

At least 49 police officers were injured and 18 required hospital treatment after the rage at the Columbus statue where those frozen bottles, along with rocks and fireworks were thrown at them.

I suppose this is the place where I’m supposed to adopt Newspeak and characterize the mayhem as “mostly peaceful protests.” But no.

If you’re a Democrat, you might worry that Trump will score political points by sending federal agents to the violent cities.

If you’re a Republican, or an independent with a new police scanner app on your cellphone, waiting for your firearm owners permit in the mail, you might say it’s about time.

And if you’re trapped in one of the violent urban neighborhoods, you’re hoping that your children won’t be killed as they sit on your front porch.

You can see that something is growing in the big cities:

An overwhelming sense of lawlessness.

The comments on the accompanying tweet for that article is insane:
Apparently naming Soros' tremendous influence, his billions spent to pervert US cities, is anti-semitic?
 
So what? What should we care if they're customer facing or not? A Stolen Job is a Stolen Job.

It should also be mentioned that the jobs which are customer facing, like call centers, are not based in the US and so don't fall under these statistics. I can't even call papa johns without being put through to some pajeet who can barely understand me.

I said above that I wouldn’t want to be entering into tech right now because of the visa situation, but it’s also more complicated than “no white Americans can get tech jobs!” I cheered on Trump cutting off those visas and think it is a great move.
 
However, that appears to be at least partly because there are not enough applicants for those positions
That is because again, most companies make BS requirements for the position (senior level experence for entry level job) and shit pay for what is required. Companies back in the day would train and invest in their employees, now they expect the employee to be trained before hand (read paid for by the employee or past employer) and will shit can anyone for either an H1B or offshore if it saves them money immediately (who cares about the cost of unfucking Pajeet's work after the outsourcing falls apart the CEO will be long gone).
