I read someone on another forum complaining about this anti-white racism. Their only evidence was their perception that whites were not featured in enough commercials. Blacks being more present in commercials is evidence enough.

Because I deal with types like this all of the time.. I will add one more criteria. 4. Do they view themselves as the one and only expert on a topic. It is simply fascinating how for years on end... they never say a thing about topic x but as soon as it comes across their news feed.. they are a world respected expert with a Phd in this topic. I had someone appealing a claim who claimed to be an expert in unemployment insurance law and that he was world renowned. Did a google search for his name... nothing.

One way to clearly show how biased someone is... is to see if they see education in a binary sense. Do they feel homeschooling is a miracle cure? or they villify it? Reality is a bi__h, though. Education is not a one size fits all product. We have considered homeschooling my son.. only because he has some challenges that the traditional public school setting is not equipped to deal with.

Being that we work with employers directly.. here is why they do not act against shoplifters more severely.. they are not the police. The law clearly states that they can't apprehend, restrain, or punish a shoplifter. Therefore, if they do anything more than have scanners or slightly impede their exit/escape.. they open themselves up to lawsuits. Now, do i condone this? No. However, in the internet forum world.. acknowledging reality is equal to supporting. The sky is blue and it is 74 degrees... this must mean that I have something against 95 degrees.

not the same... gay guy at a parade is unarmed. the better analogy is if the random guy says he is going to come to my house and kill me but has no weapons.

These are words and nothing else. I prefer cold, hard evidence over words.

For myself to believe the claim in the thread title... I would need raw data, case files, interviews, etc.

We could do the same thing with the Lori Vallow case.. very religious and very conservative. Her case is one data point but it must be representative of all Conservatives.

Yes, I am the Reno guy. Yeah, it was renamed and gentrified but plenty of other places that have not lost their old school charm. I do have a recent infatuation with rural Nevada.

Well apparently the actions in one Wal-Mart are representative of the whole. Was at a Wal-Mart in fallon, NV on saturday and it was as peaceful as can be.

Trump will win the nomination. If the economy declines.. he wins in 2024. However, this decline would have to be quantified in the form of GDP declining for 3 or more quarters consecutively.

A quick google search shows that there are Wal-Marts in Chicago. Maybe not as many as could be.. but they still exist in the greater Chicago area.

Economics of personal decision making. For example.. why someone opts to drive instead of public transit. Why we opt for the single family home instead of apts.. topics like that.

Economics no matter the level is a mix of art and science. There is no absolute way to prove why someone buys x and not y. We take the bread crumbs and fill in the blanks. In Microeconomics, we simply have fewer bread crumbs because there are fewer trails (so to speak). That leads to a greater degree of certainty that you are piecing them together correctly. Macro.. you have infinite bread crumbs and no way of knowing the trail or trails

A bit off topic but the internet forum world has another quirk. According to each poster... only they know economics, history, math, science. No one else knows anything. They should just bow down and worship at the alter of a particular poster. Interesting how if they are so omniscient.. they waste their time on a forum such as this. Yes, I have a phd in economics but do not know everything. My area of expertise is/was microeconomics and personal decision making. For example.. why someone buys one bag of chips for $1.49 and not the bigger bag for $1.99

last recruitment was an economist 1. In eight weeks, we received 7 total applicants, 2 of which did not pass the first screening (possession of a bachelors in Economics). Of those 5, one was white and the least qualified. Even though we did not offer the position to him.. he felt the need to negotiate salary.

No. Mid level state government jobs where one has a high degree of autonomy.

I tried to make it clear but my posts are not about the best methods or economic theory. It is about the mindset behind politicians and supporters wanting/demanding action. Humans are irrational and think in the short term. We also want some degree of certainty.. real or perceived. Government intervention gives us the illusion of some degree of certainty and it is done now.. not 5 years from now. In grad school for economics.. we did experiments such as someone wanting $1 right now or $1.50 in 3 days.. Guess what? 80+% of the time.. $1 now won out. Also, we did another one where they could $1 now or some amount between .75 and 3.00 tomorrow.. $1 now won out every single time.

There is that part as well as the constituents/media wanting something done now (or at least in the near future). No time for actually doing any research or pondering the issue for a minute. Also, at least in the US they are not elected based on their critical thinking skills. They win because they are impassioned, confident, and play the mud-slinging game better than the other.

when asked about the unemployment rate, the politicians that I have worked with directly, have no idea that it is an estimate or really anything about it other than as the number gets bigger that's a bad thing. This shows a lack of knowledge especially because they come to the office, ask us questions, and then conveniently forget.

If you look at WV's jobs data (QCEW not CES).. it is not all that uplifting. They started seeing slackening job growth in 2008... 12 years before Biden. the southern counties are particularly emptying out. They have houses that were on the market for a decade and the price went down to 40K and the banks simply gave up and had them demolished. What is so unsavory about a place that someone is not willing to spend 40K on a house but yet will spend 10 to 20 times that amount just a state away?

smartest person that I ever met was a drug addict in high school. He bragged about being able to read a book once and having it committed to memory. I called him out on it two years later. I opened a spanish textbook to page 476 and he recited it to me word for word and told where the page was torn. Another aspect to him was that he could not answer a question in binary fashion.. (yes/no, wrong/right). He was taking too many things into account to simply boil it down to one answer in a few seconds. Politicians artificially boil down an issue to simple right vs. wrong, bad vs. good... because they do not have the intellect to take all or most of the details/factors into account.

his verbal diarrhea is why I do not respect him. His policies have not been all bad.. but character does matter. Running your mouth and buying into unproven conspiracy theories is not something I respect.

i know that the topic is Canada but we have had openings at my office that have sat vacant for months. White candidates have had countless opportunities to apply and yet none do. Before you blast away... this is not where the black person was chosen over the white. No, this is where very few, if any, white candidates apply and therefore in a lot of cases.. there is no white person to choose even if we wanted to.

only difference between Trump and garden variety politician is his lack of a filter and volume of content. To cut you off.. spare me all of the rhetoric about Jan. 6, his indictments, and such.
