PDPGuy:
Boeing will cut 2,000 jobs in finance and HR departments

Yahoo will cut 20% of its workforce, including 1,000 jobs this week.

Dell will cut 6,650 jobs this year

50% of Americans say they are financially worse off, this year, than last year 😭

Microsoft laid off 10,000,
Google laid 12,000jobs

Nairaland is better than mainstream media because you get alternate views. Media and BIg Tec ( save for Twitter) quote these figures as a byline at the end of the page. Joe Biden found inflation 1.4% the day he got sworn in and ramped it up to 8,0%. The other day he was praising hinself for having brought inflation down .. Now its around 7%, Journalists could not challenge him. He also bragged about bringing oil prices down Never mind that he found them much much lower and he halved the Strategic Reserves to do that. Media...Crickets. Aboout jobs he is bragging he has created the most jobs in history.. I really doubt . If we had a media and not democrat party activists
If it was Trump doing what JB is doing they would have impeached him yesterday.Democrats are just crazy. Trump asked congress for money to fill the reserves at $24 . They refused. Joe has sold half the reserves and he will buy it back at $80

So, this one page is what the whole outrage is about? One page out of one book out of one library (or a few libraries) and boom republicans want to vet and ban books in all school libraries in the United States.

It seems republicans main political strategy is "outrage". They take a few isolated cases of errors or misjudgement and the blow it out of proportion and then elevate it to a democrat/leftist policy or agenda, then outrage.

So because this page of this book is in this school library, democrats/leftist are grooming children or teens for sex? In that case we were over groomed for sex, because in my own school library in the 80's, there was james hardly chase, Mills and boom, and lots of romantic novels in my school library. In fact I learnt to be a fast reader on these novels, because when you borrow them, you have less than 3 days to return them, as the next person is waiting.

In this era of Internet and smartphones, republicans think banning books (like in medieval europe) would stop kids from accessing information.
It not that I oppose removing books that parents are uncomfortable with from school libraries, but making it a national or state policy is just stupid. These decisions should be taken at PTA levels. Parents cannot outsource the moral upbringing of their children to schools and teachers, they need to be actively involved.

Mississippi sees 900% rise in number of infants born with congenital syphilis.

Medical professionals attribute the increasing cases of disease to inadequate prenatal healthcare and understaffed workforce. Mississippi has registered an alarming rise in the number of infants being treated for congenital syphilis.

According to hospital billing data shared with NBC, the number of babies who have been treated for the sexually transmitted disease has increased by more than 900% over five years.

Ten newborns that were born in the poorest American state in 2016 received treatment for the disease. In 2021, 102 newborns were treated for the disease, including at least one who died, according to the Mississippi state health department, NBC reported.

Syphilis is a contagious disease that is mostly spread through sex, but babies can also contract the illness from infected mothers. The disease produces an ulcer in the area where it entered the body, which usually appears between 10 and 60 days after infection.

Missouri votes against banning children from carrying guns in public.

Republican-led legislature rejects measure to prevent minors from carrying firearms in public without adult supervision. The Republican-led Missouri state house on Wednesday voted against banning minors from openly carrying firearms on public land without adult supervision.

The proposal to ban children from carrying guns without adult supervision in public failed by a 104-39 vote. Only one Republican voted in support.

A Democrat, Donna Baringer, said police in her district asked for the change to stop “14-year-olds walking down the middle of the street in the city of St Louis carrying AR-15s”.

“Now they have been emboldened, and they are walking around with them,” Baringer said. “Until they actually brandish them, and brandish them with intent, our police officers’ hands are handcuffed.”

How else will parents be involved besides knowing the content of what their kids are exposed to in school? And when they complain about the content. The school claims its not pornography and reinstate it to the library

This is still one isolated case of misjudgment by a school management. It's not a state policy by democrats as being pushed by extreme right.

If the parents are not happy with the school management decision, there are more practical ways to seek redress. Either a petition to the state's educational board, the courts or at worst seek another school.

At least you recognize that it's not a democratic/ liberal policy. It's the personal decisions the managers of that particular school. They can be of any political party, race or religion.

Republicans new political strategy is to elevate isolated issues to the level of frenzy and outrage.
Political campaigns have become an outrage shopping fiesta. Immigration, drugs, crime, homosexuality, foreign policy, etc., issues that transcends party, administrations and time. Everything is presented with an agenda to cause outrage and anger, with little or no policy suggestions.

When these book and policy of seualizing kids go across countries across states then its systemic and not just a random case

How can it be random that same thing is seen in schools from North Carolina to Virginia to Florida to Tennessee? Its obviously a deliberate play

There are people at the top of the Democratic party that are pushing these policy which many of the democratic voters dont even buy into

That is why Glen Youngkin was able to flip Virginia by almost 15points from the Biden margin just a year later

What policy suggestion besides taking these books off the shelfs, DeSantis made a policy that you cannot teach kids under 9yrs sexuality or sexual topics without their parents consent and the entire Democratic party flew into outrage. What can possibly be their excuse of opposing a bill like that?

The thing about Democrat control of media is how they spin narratives and bury things about Democrats. You can watch CNN anytime and not see something about George Santos while Biden also did something similar plagiarized, lied about his background too

Biden is a pathetic liar. Every thing he says is almost a lie, He goes to a adress a press cionfernce with a list of whom to ask him what question he has been primed. Else he addresses and walks away without asking answering any question, sometimes he has to be shown the exit after going in the opposite direction.

The media is soft on him, asks him leading questions Unlike what they do to conservatives.

Oh and this Ohio train derailment where they had to evacuate people and burn the toxic chemicals. MSNBC brought it up 10 days later , its all been about UFOs and balloons .

More hypocrisy. You want Democrats to own gay and other LGBTQ people even though there are plenty of them in the Republican party. One even contested to be the Governor under the Republican party and Trump broke a record by appointing a gay man to a sensitive security position, but you are trying to deflect the gun issue to both parties.

I used to think Nigeria was a shithole till I started visiting this thread. America is not too far of a shit hole as well. Thanks to the Republican. They want to marry underage girls. Now they won't reject a bill that seeks to limit toddlers and little boys and girls carrying guns in public places. We are not talking about you guns here but guns that can blow off people's brain.

I have never seen a book called Lawn Boy before we can even talk about reading it. I have only seen a few passages from a single page posted here. I have no idea the plot or synopsis of the book. So I honestly have no opinion for or against. The issue of its appropriateness for a school library should be between the parents, teachers and school authorities. What I don't even understand is whether the book is part of the school or state curriculum. Is it part of any subject taught at the school?
As I insist, this is a school (or at worst a few schools) issue. How it got into a national frenzy that necessitated banning and vetting all books in all schools in Florida is beyond me.

I am not talking about adults as per this topic. I am talking about having little kids with Guns in public places without supervision. How do you justify that? Are you comfortable with a 6 year old kid brandishing gun at a public place? I am okay with them having you guns not real guns. It seems the GOP don't even want to hear anything about guns. Whether the bill is good or bad, they seems to just reject by default.

I get you . Open carry an assault weapon. But I guess 99% of these kids carrying guns openly can shoot better than the chicago thugs. The most prolific sniper with most kills in America ( immortalised in a film- the American sniper ) was shooting a rifle with his dad at 6 years and he became a top marine sniper. In Iraq he saved a lot of lives because he could take down the enemy from afar. I think its a trade off. You want good snipers let kids start shooting when then they are young
The finnish white death sniper with most kills in history in the Russia vs finland war also honed his accuracy before he was 10. By shooting enemy combatants from hundrends of yards he saved his fellow soldiers from the enemy Russia.

So can we can conclude itts good for responsible fathers to teach their young children how to shoot , who knows how many lives they will save later in life?
Optics , you will see a kid a brandishing a rifle ( many prefer AR-15 though those kids are skiled in shooting all types of WW2 era wooden single shot rifles) and all you think is a child 10 years should not carry a gun. . that alarms you but a 'thug' carrying a glock like our friend who disappeared cant shoot straight a thirty yards away while those kids have expertise spend time in the range.

Kyle Rittenhouse. He handled the rifle very well and shot 3 ANTIFA thugs, looters and arsonists who wanted to kill him.

If you go to the home of anyone asking for books to be banned you'd find those books on their shelves. You got to read them to know what's in them to critique them, so blacks sure would read them, and whites would at least want to know what you banning, so they'd read them too.

Said I once worked in a bookshop, right? A banned book sells in the tons.

Here some reading for you. It's not in context.

Senate Republicans fear Trump repeat as 2024 field emerges.

Senate Republicans are growing increasingly worried that a crowded 2024 presidential field could ease the path for former President Trump to once again clinch the party’s nomination.

Senate Republicans are growing increasingly worried that a crowded 2024 presidential field could ease the path for former President Trump to once again clinch the party’s nomination.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s announcement on Tuesday that she will run for the GOP nomination is seen as a harbinger of things to come.

A number of prominent former Trump administration officials, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Vice President Mike Pence, are seen as likely to run. South Carolina itself may have an additional GOP candidate in Sen. Tim Scott.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is seen as a likely candidate, while possible entrants include New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

“Look, we were all concerned with the fact that we had 15 or 16 or 17 individuals vying for attention in the last one. We really don’t want to see that happen again,” Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) told The Hill. “We just don’t.”

Republicans in the Senate are tired of losing, and many blame Trump for the party losing the House in 2018, losing the White House and Senate in 2020 and failing to pick up the Senate in 2022.
