"They showed up three days in a row last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday," Long began. "They broke every window, every overhead door, over 100 windows that were destroyed, ransacked the building. They destroyed a sky track that was in the building. They removed the oil cap, the hydraulic lines, they filled everything full of sand. They destroyed a 15-passenger van that we had there… to move things around and get things done. And completely, you know, put a huge setback on the building and the project to move forward."

In California they are talking about giving reparations of over $200k to every Blacks in the State. They say this is because of the harm done by housing discrimination in the past. that they say has caused a huge wealth gap. As their evidence to the horrible harm done by this housing discrimination they repeatedly point to one metric and that is that Blacks only control a bit more than 10% of the wealth in the State.

I got to thinking about this and was curious so I decided to do a little googling

In the United States 13.6% of the population is Black only - - - and in California that percentage drops to 6.5%, and if you add 2 or more races mixed that is 4% of the population - - - so lets give the benefit of the doubt and add those so Black and possibly Black mixed race people account for 6.6%+4.2%=10.8%

So we have a group of people in the State that equals 10.8% of the population and they control roughly 10% of the wealth in the State

So whats the problem?????

having a group of people that is 10% of the larger group control 10% of the total wealth seems rather mathematically equal doesn't it -link

Imagine paying the ridiculous amount of taxes you guys pay in Cali only to deal with ALL the nonsense that comes with living there. The real question is, why are you still living in that shithole?

CA has gone from a $75.7B budget surplus in May of 2021 to a projected $25B deficit by the same time this year. (Neither one of those figures includes the estimated $37B in various state emergency funds) so why not just keep shoveling it out the door. But hey, the weather is great.

According to the parents, the kids are angels and would never do that. . Time to get rid or the "young offenders" slack. If your stupid enough to want to be a criminal, you should be treated like one.

Didn't want to start a new thread. Kinda political...

The cost to fuel electric vehicles in the United States is higher than gas-powered cars for the first time in 18 months, a consulting company said.

“In Q4 2022, typical mid-priced ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) car drivers paid about $11.29 to fuel their vehicles for 100 miles of driving. That cost was around $0.31 cheaper than the amount paid by mid-priced EV drivers charging mostly at home, and over $3 less than the cost borne by comparable EV drivers charging commercially,” Anderson Economic Group (AEG) said in an analysis.

However, luxury EVs still enjoy a cost advantage against their gas-powered counterparts.

It costs luxury EV owners $12.4 to drive every 100 miles on average if they charge their cars mostly at home or $15.95 if they charge their cars mostly at commercial charger stations in the 4th quarter of 2022.

Meanwhile, the fuel costs for luxury gas-powered cars are $19.96 per 100 miles on average.

You could technically sell your house in Cali, get that fantastic equity and buy CASH something NEAR or Oceanfront on West Coast FL AND have plenty of cash leftover for whatever the hell you want. You can google the most beautiful beach in the US (Siesta Key) yourself. But thats none of my business 😏

worth thinking about just so long as there is no humidity - - can't stand humidity - - - that's whyI love the desert, nice and dry

The Memphis police story is missing something that almost all police misconduct incidents have. Why isn't everyone who matters calling for the Police Chief to step down?

BTW guess who was Chief when the scorpion unit was formed and staffed?

If Trump & DeSantis both run for president do you think whichever one lost the primary would support the winner? And what if one of them decided to run as an independent?

DeSantis isn't even running at this point in time and Trump has already stated bashing him

No they are both to smart to run as a independent.

Yes he will support the winner. Trump was a great president but I'm going for DeSantis. Seems to think like me and has a better personality.

All GOP senators, Manchin challenge Biden's ESG climate investment rule 'politicizing' Americans' 401(k)s

"The Biden administration is promoting its climate change agenda by putting everyday people’s retirement money at risk," Reyes told Fox News Digital. "Americans are already suffering from the current economic downturn."

What is ESG?

https://corporatefinanceinstit…mental-social-governance/

1. Environmental

Environmental factors refer to an organization’s environmental impact(s) and risk management practices. These include direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, management’s stewardship over natural resources, and the firm’s overall resiliency against physical climate risks (like climate change, flooding, and fires).

2. Social

The social pillar refers to an organization’s relationships with stakeholders. Examples of factors that a firm may be measured against include Human Capital Management (HCM) metrics (like fair wages and employee engagement) but also an organization’s impact on the communities in which it operates.

A hallmark of ESG is how social impact expectations have extended outside the walls of the company and to supply chain partners, particularly those in developing economies where environmental and labor standards may be less robust.

3. Governance

Corporate governance refers to how an organization is led and managed. ESG analysts will seek to understand better how leadership’s incentives are aligned with stakeholder expectations, how shareholder rights are viewed and honored, and what types of internal controls exist to promote transparency and accountability on the part of leadership.

Just saw Haley is announcing her pres run on feb15. Looks like the gop is going to have some prime candidates. Looking forward to the debates. I always liked Haley. She never took any shit at the UN!
