"We have too many Jewish employees." Is probably not the line that any business is going to take if they'd like to continue to have access to banking.
True, but as we've seen so many times, the bitches making salary running HR and Marketing with their Masters in BA and Communications don't care. They want that dopamine hit for being enlightened and progressive.
 
It's stupid and pointless to argue this at this point, but there are no fair elections in the US. If the election wasn't rigged, half of these blue cities would be red. They never are. There's fraud and fuckery in all of them.
Exactly, liberals NEED to apply their thumbs to the scale to have things go their way. The same idea applies to social media, progressive ideas only thrive though strict moderation and active push by algorithms. Take all that away and let topics and conversations develop naturally, suddenly the masses seem much more conservative.
 
Can a university do that? “umm akshually you DIDN’T complete all those classes and we DIDN’T publicly recognize that you did so by giving you a physical award”
Its supposed to be for things like "oh we caught that you cheated and didnt actually pass the classes". But Universities being leftist controlled "he who has power defines what is correct" morality perverted that purpose like everything else.
 
I’ve been hearing “China’s going to collapse in the near future!” for twenty years now. Between the demographic pyramid, the reliance on coal, the reliance on imported foodstuffs, the Three Gorges Dam and flooding, their buildings being cardboard, their economy being propped up by fake property transactions, their economy being propped up on debased or fraudulent metals, etc. I’ve heard it all. I just don’t believe this anymore. Sure, in a hot war the destruction of the dam and the stopping of imports could have major repercussions. But I don’t believe in a natural China collapse which is always just on the horizon. I think that’s an excuse by American elites to justify continually empowering China and destroying the American economy under the guise that it’s no big deal because they’re destined to fail anyways.
The elites were all convinced they could just move to China once they finished draining the US and it's sphere of resources -- Then Covid happened and Xi took advantage of it by totally liquidating the Shanghai Clique and put hard restrictions on foreign influence.

Now their exit has been closed and that is one of the reasons politics has gotten so schizophrenic now: Where else can they bail? Hawaii? New Zealand? It's still nowhere close to their hope of controlling what they predicted to be the next major global power.

Edit: Speculating on this, I'd even stick my neck out a little and argue this is the very reason a few elites flipped to Trump and are now backing him to a hilt, beyond the Biden Admin fuckups.
 
Yes they can. Whether it matters or not is up to the employer but at the end of the day, it's just a piece of paper. But at this point if I see Columbia University on an application to my company, I'm just not going to give them an interview. That's what shitstains like this don't realize. They're hurting everyone around them.
The Ivy Leagues have really done irrevocable damage to their reputation. The degrees now mean you are an overly credentialed activist with entitlement issues. Only useful if the person hiring is also an Alumni and giving you the clubhouse inside track.

My friend worked in china as an engineer helping them set up power plants. When touring one of the plants he saw a chinaman working on an energized system. He was about to go over and stop them when the company rep stopped him saying they have "plenty of electricians".
 
Columbia university is starting to revoke degrees of student protesters who engaged in a building take over

1) it’s unclear what the actual punishments are. They give a wide range, but they’ve lied in the past about imposing consequences on these people so there could be 99 inconsequential punishments, 1 suspension, 1 expulsion, 1 revocation, etc. They could be misrepresenting the truth.

2) it’s unclear what “temporary degree revocations” means. Does that mean there were temporary degrees given out to those being investigated, and those temporary degree were revoked? Or does it mean that there were degrees given out, and those degrees have been temporarily revoked for a year as a punishment. There’s a big difference between having your degree revoked permanently and just not being able to say on your resume for a year that you have your college degree. If this weren’t Columbia, I’d think the ambiguity is accidental. But since this is a school that has purposefully attempted to impede consequences for over a year through internal machinations, I wouldn’t put it past them to make it sound like they harshly punished people when they actually did something much lighter.

I think you're on to something, everyone needs to keep in mind that a Chinese exit plan for someone operating at a Bill Gates-level fuckery or similar was attractive because the existence of the CCP and Chinese security/immigration apparatus provides a massive barrier to any potential physical retribution for their crimes against the American people/Europe.

New Zealand and Costa Rica, not so much.

People want to predict the next big catastrophe but the truth is that you can’t pin it down and most events are slow and gradual. Part of why I think the economy of the world is fucked is because chinas one child policy and a lot of western investors put too many eggs in one basket.

I think that much of the idea that China will collapse naturally comes from this idea that they've got a billion plus people that need to be fed, housed, etc. They built all those cities with no one to live in them, I don't think China even knows how many people they have. There was some research that looked at the number of vaccine doses required for infants, as well as salt consumption, that just doesn't add up to the number of people that they claim to have. It's probably that corrupt provincial leaders have been lying for a century+ about their populations so that they can get increased funding from the national government.
