If you don’t think Trump can beat Biden in a fair election, you have no faith in the American people.

If you don’t think Trump can win in a rigged election, neither can your favorite candidate.

I have just completed what I believe to be the most comprehensive evaluation of Charlotte NC arrest records in history.

This project has taken me 3 months to complete, combing through over 50,000+ arrest records and mugshots.

I've found what appears to be massive fraud.

Thousands of Hispanics have been labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" in the arrest records... THOUSANDS.

In fact, I found over 500 cases where Hispanics who were arrested more than once... had their "Ethnicity" CHANGED from "Hispanic" to "Caucasian" from one arrest to another.

Horrifyingly, I found HUNDREDS of these "White Caucasians" were actually ILLEGAL ALIENS from foreign countries with ICE detainers.

Perhaps most disturbing...

Many of the illegal aliens who were labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" had already been released back into the public, DESPITE the ICE detainer requesting they stay in prison.

We have a serious problem.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Charlotte NC after a Black woman who ran a RED LIGHT, hitting a 25-year-old White man out for a run, and DROVE AWAY while he DIED ON THE STREET...

...was sentenced to ONLY 30 DAYS in jail.

Yes, you read that right... THIRTY DAYS.

His name was Lance Sotelo.

Lance grew up in Dalton, Georgia, and was a cross-country MVP in high school.

He came to Queens University of Charlotte and ran cross country and track and field for SIX YEARS.

He was the student body president.

On January 14th, Lance was doing the thing he loved most, he was out for a run in Charlotte NC

At 5:47 in the evening, police say 28-year-old Q'Laundra Hood was ran a red light and she hit him, hard.

...and then she drove away.

She left him in the road and kept going.

Lance Sotelo died right there on the streets of Charlotte.
He never even made it to a hospital.

He didn't have life insurance, his family had to start a GoFundMe just to bury their son.

Hood turned herself in and pleaded guilty to felony hit-and-run and involuntary manslaughter.

And on Tuesday, a courtroom packed with Lance's family and friends watched the judge hand down the sentence.

30 days in jail. And probation.

Thirty days and $765 restitution.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

Haven't eaten one in years, but cheap consumer goodies like Chipotle burritos were supposed to be the perks of a corporatized and globalized society. "Yes, your parents' and grandparents' way of life will be vanishing, but here's what's in it for you"—this was the unspoken deal imposed by the corporatists and faux-elites who were reshaping everything. Burritos and gizmos were at the center of it.

For the younger generations, eating out became one of life's comforts. Fewer and fewer possibilities before you made an outing to Chipotle something more significant than it ever should have been. Yes, everyone should be more economical, but there's a lot more going on here than just frivolous expenditures. To have those few petty comforts slowly falling out of reach makes for a raw deal.

Like I said, I haven't had a Chipotle burrito in a long time, but I get the frustration.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Not to change the subject from burritos but when I was earning poverty wages in my 20s I used to go to Subway nearly every day and get a footlong Italian sub for 5 dollars. It was generally the only big meal I would eat in a day.

If I was hungry later at night, I could always swing by McDonald’s and grab a chicken sandwich for a dollar.

All of these people are screaming about “eating at home” but I basically never made meals at home in those days and I was able to get by. You used to be able to survive on low wages without making meals from scratch. If that’s not possible anymore then it’s a sign that our standard of living is declining. That’s a problem. You should care about that.

Anyway, I went to a Subway recently and that same sandwich was 13 dollars. McDonald’s, of course, doesn’t sell anything for a dollar anymore.

@nicnacusa Oof did the intern think of this one

[Dissident Media @DissidentMedia]

You are supposed to believe that more people turned up to vote for Ed Gallrein in Kentucky than the total number of votes cast in the previous election. You are supposed to believe that all those people showed up for at the behest of a president with a 40% approval rating.

Thomas Massie introduced legislation to force AIPAC to register as a foreign agent.

And AIPAC got rid of him.

Sorta proving his point there, huh?

[Tyler Oliveira @tyleraloevera]

Democracy is a delusion. This seat was bought and paid for by AIPAC.

I am the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Oracle Corporation.

On March 31, I terminated 30,000 employees. On April 4, their stock was scheduled to vest.

I did not need to check the vesting calendar. I designed the schedule around it.

The vesting date was a Saturday. Fidelity processes on the prior business day. That means April 3. I sent the emails on Monday. Three business days. That is not an accident. That is a calendar.

Nina Lewis worked at Oracle for 34 years. Thirty-three of them great, she said. Security Alert Manager. She posted on LinkedIn that it seemed like the layoffs followed "an algorithm of high level individual contributors and mid-level managers, especially those with outstanding stock options."

She is correct. I built the algorithm.

Under the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, all unvested restricted stock units are forfeited immediately upon termination. Not after a grace period. Not after review. Immediately. The RSU disappears from Fidelity the same morning the badge stops working.

For senior employees, RSUs represent 30 to 50 percent of projected annual compensation. Not a bonus. Not a perk. Compensation. Earned over years of vesting schedules that HR designed, HR approved, and HR canceled.

The forfeited stock does not disappear. It returns to the company. Thirty thousand tranches, recaptured in a single batch job. The equity stays on our balance sheet. The people do not.

That's equity management.

One of our first employees was in the batch. Forty-plus years. Hired when the company had a lobby you could cross in four steps. Gone by 6:04 AM on a Monday three days before his shares vested.

A 27-year veteran posted that a "major reorganization" ended their journey across Sun and Oracle. Sun Microsystems. He survived an acquisition. He survived a platform migration. He survived three CEOs. He did not survive the vesting calendar.

Kurt Frieden. Eighteen years. Denise Mitzit. Former Senior Director. Some received the email at 5 AM. Some at 6. The badge was already off by the time it mattered. Denise said the email had "questionable font sizes" for her name, "like a mass mailer from 1987."

Mass mailer from 1987. She worked at Oracle long enough to remember when they were built.

Alexander Sandler spent nearly ten years as a founding engineer on OCI's File Storage Service. He helped build it from zero to exabyte-scale. Powered hundreds of millions of dollars in value. Handled countless on-call shifts.

We are now spending $50 billion to expand OCI with different people.

Gary Olmsted woke up to his Slack being disconnected and "a nice email telling me my position had been eliminated." He did not log in and find a message. He logged in and found a wall. The Slack was already off. The email was already sent. The RSUs were already gone.

Marc Fitten called it sudden. Jeremy Martin said the people cut were "top performers, extremely talented, and really solid at their job." He listed names. Leo Mukahirn. Lane Okamoto. Sam Raymer. Brady Maurer. Michael Novotny. Robby Mann.

I don't list names. I list employee IDs. The IDs are easier to process in batch.

That's operational efficiency.

The system flagged employees by three variables: tenure, salary band, and unvested equity value. Long tenure means high salary. High salary means large RSU grants. Large RSU grants mean large forfeiture upon termination. The most loyal employees were the most expensive to keep and the most profitable to cut three days before their shares vested.

Loyalty is a liability with a vesting schedule.

Michael Shepherd — a senior manager on OCI who was not laid off — posted that the reductions "were not performance-based" and hit "senior talent with deep expertise." He said the cuts fell "disproportionately" on those with outstanding equity.

He is still employed. He will learn not to post.

That's stakeholder management.

The same week I canceled 30,000 vesting schedules, the compensation committee approved $26 million in equity for the new CFO. Her RSUs vest over four years, beginning immediately. Hers begin. Theirs ended. Same equity plan. Same PeopleSoft module.

VEST_CANCEL_BATCH and VEST_GRANT_EXEC run on the same server.

Nina Lewis asked, "Not sure what to do next, if anything. Open to ideas." After 34 years. Open to ideas. The algorithm of high-level individual contributors and mid-level managers with outstanding stock options left a 34-year security expert open to ideas.

I have an idea. The severance package includes two weeks per year of service, capped at 26 weeks. That means her 34 years are worth the same as someone's 13. The cap exists because we don't want loyalty to be expensive twice — once in salary, once in severance.

That's compensation design.

Denise Mitzit said she hopes the good people remaining find every success. She thanked the people who laughed at her jokes. She remembered Red Rover and RR Donnelley and GBU Compliance under Jari Peters. She remembered Fry.

I don't remember Fry. I remember the employee ID.

30,000 termination emails. 3 business days before the vesting date. 30 to 50 percent of senior compensation forfeited overnight. $26 million granted to 1 new executive the same week. 34 years of tenure capped at 26 weeks of severance.

The algorithm works. The vesting calendar works. The equity plan works.

I designed all three.

That's human resources.
