Others here trying to turn this into political flame wars should be ashamed of themselves, I'd say it really makes their agenda clear.
Federal law mandates that the government allocate 23 percent of its contracting work to small businesses. Of this portion, 5 percent is meant for businesses with economically or socially disadvantaged owners. These are essentially minority-owned businesses.
It isn't chump change. Total federal contracting in its 2011 fiscal year (ending September 30, 2011) was $477 billion, so 5 percent works out to $23.85 billion.
Think of how bad the above disasters would have been had women been involved not to mention minorities. Boy are we lucky - huh ?.
The reason for the blowout - stupid and hubris
The Defense Department is like
geek nirvana for STEM and fuckups.
Asian do qualify as minorities - sorry.
How could you leave out the Tacoma Narrows bridge?
Also, who ordered the Stress Test when traffic was running underneath?Fucking Putin! Curse him!
Making shitty things that go bump in the night with hundreds of fatalities
Should be strictly non-racist and non-sexist competence. We just want the best person for the job, period.
ack to female STEM types and minorities. The True Story of “Hidden Figures,” the Forgotten Women Who Helped Win the Space Race
A new book and movie document the accomplishments of NASA’s black “human computers” whose work was at the heart of the country’s greatest battles.
Back to female STEM types and minorities. The True Story of “Hidden Figures,” the Forgotten Women Who Helped Win the Space Race
When will PBS and Smithsonian report on thousands of mostly white and Asian males which are behind all Nobel prizes? It is well-known that nearly all lab work, for which someone gets a Nobel prize, is done by winners' graduate and postdoctoral students, who are "forgotten" just as much as the number crunchers in the above story. There are hundreds of them, yet they barely get a mention anywhere, other than in specialized publications. Yet neither PBS nor Smithsonian seems to be reporting on that. Wait, may be this reporting has something to do with prevalent ideology.
Yes, but is collapsed in an artistic feminine sort of way. Score one for wonder woman.
theoakman sayswhy don't you point out what exactly in the article that you object to instead of attacking the publication
I object to the publication that is heavily biased, why don't you like minorities ?
theoakman saysI am a minority and married outside my race. .so did my parents.
Sounds like a classic example of virtue signaling.
theoakman saysWhat's wrong with the article?
Read the article, spent some time reading other articles by the same author.
Both the publication/website "The Federalist" and the author are very cozy right of center, far right.
The article has some merit but personally I question the real motive. The author is not Snow White.
The original intent of the thread was to inflame and anger while insinuating that the root cause of the bridge collapse was due primarily to a female engineer being involved and a company that has minority ownership of some fashion.
Furthermore insinuation suggests that said collapse would not have occurred had a traditio...

Furthermore insinuation suggests that said collapse would not have occurred had a traditional alpha male white owned construction company with alpha male white engineers been at the helm of the operation.
What happened to hiring qualified people instead of hiring for affirmative action?
it would hopefully be geared towards getting “self driving” cars on the road. This is the technological advancement I’m looking most forward to...get these fucking nitwits off the roads and let the cpu’s gps them around ffs
