The Left Declared Competence a Civil-Rights Violation

The left has reached the point where requiring a police officer to read is considered racial discrimination.

Maryland State Police used a neutral examination to determine whether applicants possessed the basic skills needed to write reports and perform police work. Black applicants failed at higher rates. The Biden Justice Department responded by attacking the examination and helping produce a settlement approaching $3 million.

The test did not ask anyone’s race. The department did not exclude anyone because of race. Applicants were measured against the same standard. Under disparate-impact ideology, equality itself became the offense because equality failed to manufacture the desired result.

This doctrine requires society to abolish every standard that exposes a disparity.

Police examinations become discriminatory.
Teacher examinations become discriminatory. Academic requirements become discriminatory.

Any measurement of competence remains acceptable only until it measures competence.

The humiliation imposed on black Americans is difficult to overstate. The same people who call themselves anti-racists have constructed an ideology based on the assumption that black applicants cannot be expected to meet ordinary standards. They then demand that the standards disappear and congratulate themselves for their compassion.

A sane civil-rights movement would insist that every child receive the education required to meet high expectations. The modern left protects failing institutions, lowers the expectations and accuses anyone who notices the decline of racism.

How are normal people expected to share a functioning civilization with ideologues who believe that the ability to read should become negotiable when hiring police officers? Roads, hospitals, schools, courts and public-safety agencies depend on competence. Reality does not accept an equity exemption. A police report filled with errors does not become accurate because the officer was hired through a socially approved process.

Disparate-impact ideology has converted failure into evidence against the test, incompetence into victimhood and standards into contraband. Every bad result produces the same administrative solution... lower the requirement, punish the institution and invoice the taxpayer.

The left would rather abolish qualification than admit that anyone failed to qualify. The public will eventually discover the cost while depending on the people they declared competent by eliminating the evidence that they were not.

🚨En 1986 lo echaron de TODOS los casinos de Las Vegas por contar cartas.

Así que se subió a un avión con 180.000 dólares y aterrizó en Hong Kong. Empezó a apostar a caballos.
Se fue con casi 900 millones.

Se llama Bill Benter.

Descubrió que las carreras de caballos no eran más que otro juego de conteo… solo que con más variables.

Llegó con un socio, 180k y una computadora.
Pasó años entrenándola para una sola cosa: calcular la probabilidad REAL de que cada caballo ganara.
Si su número era mejor que las cuotas del bookie → apostaba.
Si no → pasaba.
Esa es toda la “trampa”:
Valor esperado.

EV = p · b − (1 − p)
Solo apuestas cuando tu probabilidad de ganar (p) a esas cuotas (b) vale más que tu probabilidad de perder.

Esta clase nunca se grabó para hacerse viral.

Nadie pensaba que el profesor Tsitsiklis iba a soltar toda la base en 45 minutos en una pizarra.

Los alumnos de esa sala pagan más de 80.000 dólares al año por escucharlo.
Y aquí está gratis.

Todo quant, todo apostador profesional, todo analista de hedge fund empezó exactamente con esta hora.
Benter solo la vio… y realmente hizo la tarea.

Casi nadie sabe que esta conferencia existe.
Mírala antes de que la bajen.
La respuesta está en el video.

His soft on crime policies made Washington a magnet for criminals. A guy convicted of murdering his father move from Arizona to Washington and then burned Spokane to the ground.

Heidi Beirich, the former CFO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, was ARRESTED on fraud charges after allegedly sending secret payments to individuals inside "white supremacist groups."

One of the individuals was reportedly her LOVER.

Milton Friedman said we can't have free immigration and a welfare state

He was wrong

Turns out that if you create pathways for illegal immigrants to vote, then actually, 100% of the time you INEVITABLY end up with both a welfare state and free immigration

Because incentives determine actions

Whichever politicians realize they can essentially use taxpayer dollars to fund welfare to import voters will exploit this hack ruthlessly

1. Offer welfare
2. Allow illegal immigration
3. Let illegal immigrants vote (they will 100% of the time vote for more welfare)
4. Win office
5. Raise taxes, offer more welfare, repeat

It's a self-reinforcing feedback loop

Allowing illegal immigrants to count in the census and vote cements this loop

Literally only 12 states require proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Look it up. It's horrifying.

That is why 15m illegal immigrants came across the border in 4 yrs.

It is game theory the only smart thing to do

This ends in disaster

Another historic temple was lit on fire in Japan today. This is Kōdaiji Temple in Kyoto, founded in 1606.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Why is it that churches and temples keep burning but not mosques?

2021. Terry Bradshaw rails against Aaron Rodgers for not getting vaccinated and for taking ivermectin.

Bradshaw falsely believed that the vaccine prevented people from getting and transmitting Covid. He was wrong.

Instead of being angry that Rodgers "lied" about being vaccinated, Bradshaw should have been angry that the country was lied to about the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Just a few weeks after this clip the CEO of Pfizer admitted that two doses of the vaccine offered virtually no protection against Covid.
