The "Diversity" Crap

[JohnStOnge]

Inspired by other threads, I submit this:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/diversi ... -1.2734337" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also, click on the link about Googles diversity issue. Or you can click this:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/diversi ... -1.2734337" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Now...we are told that you have to have sufficient "diversity" in order to be really successful. Is there anybody here who thinks that Apple and Google haven't been really successful?

Another thing is how bad it is with respect to the race question. There is concern over the lacK" of "diversity" at Apple because, in part, it's "mostly White." Mostly White as in 55 percent White. Now, mind you, 63 percent of the US population is non Hispanic White. But there's something "wrong" with Apple's workforce being 55 percent White.

But the main thing is that this thing with companies like Apple and Google demonstrates what a crock the thing about having to have "diversity" sufficient to satisfy the egalitarians being SO important to success is.

Who do you think is arguing with you here?

It’s official: America is now No. 2

Hang on to your hats, America.

And throw away that big, fat styrofoam finger while you’re about it.

There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll just say it: We’re no longer No. 1. Today, we’re No. 2. Yes, it’s official. The Chinese economy just overtook the United States economy to become the largest in the world. For the first time since Ulysses S. Grant was president, America is not the leading economic power on the planet.

It just happened — and almost nobody noticed.

The International Monetary Fund recently released the latest numbers for the world economy. And when you measure national economic output in “real” terms of goods and services, China will this year produce $17.6 trillion — compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.A.

As recently as 2000, we produced nearly three times as much as the Chinese.

To put the numbers slightly differently, China now accounts for 16.5% of the global economy when measured in real purchasing-power terms, compared with 16.3% for the U.S.

Big whoop. There's over a billion of them, vs. 300 million of us. Over three times as many people to make and sell cheap mass-market shyt. And hack our computers. And steal our IP. And cook their financial books. Thieving bunch of fucks.

The fact that even with having three times the population of the US that China is barely percentage points ahead makes this a non story. Not to mention the fact that it took a six year recession to accomplish this as well.

Oh yeah before I forget. Thanks Obama.

Agreed. I'm not too worried. Heard something once about how few patents the Chinese have because they have no creativity/ability to come up with their own ideas. All they do is steal from everybody else.

No kidding, I saw it last week (or so) at $120 and said to myself: "Self, I'd sell that sh!t STAT at $120"

I got in at $97 from my IRA. I got nothing but time, and Alibaba has nothing but a shit-ton of money. I'll hang on to see what they do with it. Wake me up in 5 years or so.

Odds are that in the next few years you and that shit-ton of money will learn a lot about Chinese corruption...they take things to a level unseen here in 'Merica...and that is saying something.

My favorite travel writer, (Sex Lives of Cannibals, Getting Stoned with Savages, Planet China), says that the stereotype of the Chinese as a giant termite colony is 180 degrees wrong - that in fact China is a nation of 1 billion anarchists who pay not one iota more attention to the government than the government can force them to.

Mao appears to top the lists that I have looked at.

Hitler, Stalin, Leopold II and Tojo generally make up the top 5.
