US immigrants with children

mardi 6 mars 2018 à 01:00

The bully wants to keep immigrants out of the US if their children, US citizens, have got federal medical or food benefits.

Apollo Global Management

mardi 6 mars 2018 à 01:00

The SEC "coincidentally" dropped its investigation of Apollo Global Management shortly after it gave Kushner a loan of almost 200 million dollars.

Of course, there is no proof that the dropped investigation was related to the company representatives' visits to the White House.

Carl Icahn and the bully

mardi 6 mars 2018 à 01:00

Billionaire Carl Icahn gave the bully "advice" on which regulations to eliminate to help enrich Carl Icahn. He sold stock in a company that uses a lot of steel, a couple of weeks before the bully announced new tariffs on steel imports.

Surely that's a coincidence, right?

Right to protest in US

mardi 6 mars 2018 à 01:00

Pipeline companies and plutocratist legislators are systematically attacking the right to protest across the US.

AI candidate evaluation

mardi 6 mars 2018 à 01:00

Many companies use AI systems to evaluate job candidates. Candidates are completely mystified about why they are rejected, and can't tell whether it is due to bigotry coded into the neural net.

I would guess that many of these procedures require the candidate to run nonfree software, which is an injustice.

I would guess that many of these procedures collect lots of personal data, then use it or sell it for other purpose. This suggests that the law should require the company doing the testing to erase absolutely all the data obtained from it, after making the hiring decision.

A job interview is an opportunity to learn about a prospective employer. You might learn, from this procedure, that you don't want to work there.
