I grew up not seeing skin color as meaning anything. But after years of affirmative action and the 8 obama years, it’s the first thing I notice and I look and often find an entitled person

I understand your lack of time. But perhaps you could delegate authority to do that? Or would it be too expensive to have people checking like that?
Of course, your statement, if read by many, could be a lesson to some people about their "entitled" attitude; I have known people who have that attitude (as who does not? There are many), and I don't approve of that, either.

I dont have time to individually vett potential employees. I did forget to exclude women who are likely to have babies while under my employment. They will cause disruption in the workflow.

I need to generalize to a degree in order to efficiently make decisions in a huge country like ours.. Everyone does this to one degree or another. The first think I detect is an "entitled" attidude. "Entitled" people are just trouble. Its not their race, color, religion- its whether they feel they can get away with things and deserve more than other people. I dont take away their rights, but I pick the people I think will do the best job for ME.

If you want to hire them, feel free, I wont stop you.
My desire is to run my business to make money, which is the end goal of any business that wants to stay in business.

In other words, you just make assumptions about these people--that is, prejudging them.

I would quickly dismantle "the slave state"....choose freedom and liberty...free to succeed or fail...

Very interesting, I'll check it out this weekend at work while I await for things to break...sounds silly but that's what a building engineer does...laughing

Allowing people to vote with their feet is a much better solution. That is true Freedom.

The nonsense Tucker is talking about is "the government knows better than you do what is good for you". Yikes.

The article with the video is worth reading.

Yes, same arrogant flaw.
"If only we were in charge!"

Tucker brought Amy Peikoff to debate him on this topic . Tucker said to her that the wealthy have an obligation to take care of the less fortunate.
He seemed stunned when Amy asked him why they had an obligation ? He mumbled the Christian Judeo tradition and decency requires it.
He then talked over his guest like a liberal.

But american workers are a bit entitled and lazy, and they vote in the politicians who pass those laws. We have priced ourselves out of the world market, and in the end have to accept the consequences.

At the risk of being called racist, which I am not, I do preferentially pick employees from certain cultures- for lower level jobs I prefer first generation (probably illegal aliens) hispanic people, and would really want none of the entitled black and entitled female white cultures. For upper level people, I would prefer people of the asian cultures (if I can afford them). I am a culturist and have no interest in retraining cultural traits

At age 24, I was Exec. Secy to the Exec V.P. of what became one if not the largest insurance group in the US. Mr EVP asked me what I thought of the newly formed Salary Committee. My response, 'there are no women on it'. I was appointed. When the members of the committee asked me what I thought of their proposal on salaries, my response 'Your best suggestion for ladies is $50. you wouldn't offend a man with less than $100! What nice salary adjustments the ladies got!

That's why I stipulated "under a free-enterprise sys-
tem". If people are going to pass all these minimum-wage laws, and other government interference, and vote for the politicians who do, and price themselves out of the market, don't they have themselves to blame?

....and therein lies the failure of conservativism...no consistent, logical philosophy...they think they can
"manage" big govt better than the socialists...

Most pundits on either side only deal with the surface. They can't delve deeper into any subject because they have never learned what they are talking about. In order to know what to make of the squirming of politicians so they can determine right from wrong they need a solid background in economics and history. If they are ignorant on these subjects, they are at a loss as to how the judge the good or bad of a given action or pronouncement.

AI DOESNT NEED TO GET MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED to take over in fast food ordering. AI CAN Know who I am, what my favorite foods are far better than the average fast food clerk

I do think that for non creative jobs, robots do a better job. Robots are prevalent ev erywhete. Also the possession of a brain does not guarantee use of the brain. And the robot doesn’t go on strike or plot against you as AI IMPROVES, more and more jibs will be taken over by robotd

I once got a cat rather than a mouse trap. And I think that a human employee, with a working brain, can work the job faster than a robot.---But that would be under a free-enterprise system, which we have not had for a very long time (and never completely had).

It seems that "conservatives" will do anything rather than just stand up for individual rights. But to do that, and make it stick, they would have to reject altruism--and ,eventually, "revealed" religion. And that is why we need to have this Galt's Gult site.

Interesting scenario: The taxpayers subsidize the businesses of the well-connected. That is what he's talking about here. Who can blame the fat cats?

Your definition of "reasonable" self-interest may differ from mine. When I once offered mild praise for the founder of Tesla here, some lambasted the point that he had bilked the government of a lot of money. I didn't react the same to that. I almost admire the ability to do that. Remember when the AIG employees went to resort spas right after getting the big bailout? My brother said, "Hell, they just bilked the government out of all that money for their company. They should be rewarded!" Made me laugh. He was right. Sure...eventually the nation will fold up and most of the people will be eating out of garbage cans. To the victor go the spoils...No investment matches the ROI of money spent greasing law makers...

I watched Tucker's interview, last night, and sat in absolute SHOCK when I heard him agree with his interviewee. Really...government should "force" employers to pay higher wages, when the real solution is to address the issue of government subsidies.

Wow...I don't know if he'll ever recover from that one.

As a consumer, machines have a long way to go in customer service. Until AI gets a lot more sophisticated, customer service will require a human face with competence.

No No! Not Tucker too! What is wrong with people??
