Paid to fix things which never needed fixing. A fictional analogy: he's akin to a city official who's paid to fix potholes. However, changes in road surface technology have rendered potholes all but obsolete. The pothole fixing industry is seething, so at night, gangs of marauding, black-clad pothole unionists traverse the streets, jackhammer in hand, to create more potholes. As each pothole is fixed, another is created.

The pothole myth is perpetuated, and the Chief Pothole Fixer and his union lackeys rake in the $$$.

City, I'd think. But, then that would probably go on the 'to-do' list, so, more than likely, you'd end up having to do it yourself.

“Why aren’t there higher paying jobs for women and POC?” Because companies Pat shitloads of money for retarded positions like this one when they could just give raises to employees who are actually useful.

Killing of George Floyd... Asshole killed himself

Had those mean ol' policemen not engaged and harassed Floyd, he wouldn't have been forced to swallow the fentanyl that eventually killed Floyd. Can't you see that's murder?

Someone posted a video yesterday of two black professors getting redpilled over the Trayvon incident.

Yet despite them realizing it was a hoax, I am pretty sure one of the guys still said, “if Zimmerman had’ve stayed in his truck, Trayvon would still be alive.”

Sure, can I also say that if Trayvon hadn’t decided to beat on Zimmerman, he’d still be alive?

Or how about if Trayvon had’ve been a good boy in his Miami high school, he wouldn’t have gotten expelled and wouldn’t even be in Sanford Florida?

Untrue. As a broke ass person I use them because I'd rather get taxed a little on the item while knowing how much to pay off and not get super rekt by the interest once the promotional deal is over. If you go to rent a center they will fuck you so hard you'll be mad you didn't just go to a pawn shop after saving up for a few months. If you can't afford $42 a month for 12 months then you shouldn't be buying anything anyways.

The idea is that you go TV shopping at Best Buy and then go buy it online cheaper.

1
muhqtardtho 1 point ago +1 / -0

Yes I know that. I'm saying broke people like myself still use their services because if you can't get a decent credit card to pay off a $500 tv over a year without getting destroyed by interest rates you can use a best buy card and know exactly how much to pay every month to complete the promotional deal before they back charge you with their own super rapey interest rates. It was also super handy in the Xbox 360 red ring days. Instead of mailing in a console and waiting for them to mail you one back we could just exchange that shit instantly in the store. They eventually stopped doing that after the red ring numbers got out of control.

I didn't have an opinion on Best Buy until a couple of months ago some douche wearing a mask and an "I save lives" tee tried to make me and my wife stand outside the store in the blistering Texas heat because there were "too many people in the store right now". It was at that moment, I washed my hands of Best Buy forever, and just got in my car and went to the Office Max down the road.

Similar story here - had occasionally used them for electronics stuff. Then they made me sit and wait for half an hour to get some small something or another that my gf needed for work (had to get it there). Haven't been back since, and probably never will. Between covid crap and now this, I'm done.

Lots of otherwise good companies out there pandering to these fools out of fear of possible lawsuits. I'm willing to bet the entire executive board and corporate leadership of Best Buy doesn't give 2 shits about the BLM agenda, but they are gonna let this Diversity Officer do his thing because they don't want a multi-million dollar, extremely public wrongful termination lawsuit on their hands in which they will be crucified by mainstream and social media. Probably the case for many companies right now.

They cultivated their own destruction by giving that cancerous ideology a foothold.

HiddenDekuScrub 4 points ago +6 / -2

This. It's stupid. It's utterly moronic. But it is what it is. From the little ma and pa shops with a BLM sign to the diversity officer crap, it's all a defense act.

What needs to happen is to have a high profile lawsuit involving a white and/or conservative wrongly terminated or harassed for being such. Something high profile enough to potentially attract copycats. Equality only works if everyone is truly on equal grounds.

Personally, I'd be up for a regulation that no questions remotely involving your physical appearance be asked on a job application, and that interviews be conducted by a person other than the one doing the hiring. The meeting is then transcribed and sent to the one doing the hiring, who then has to make the decision not knowing anything about the "race" of the person applying. Names are also hidden to the person making the final decision.

Eh, my Dream world.

4
g00se2k 4 points ago +4 / -0

Dunno about that. In my experience, it's best for the person doing the hiring to at least be part of the interview (even if they aren't conducting it) because you have to get a vibe of the potential employee's personality and whether they'd be horrible to be around for 8 hours a day, totally separate from their ability to perform their job functions. I don't think you could get that vibe from a transcript, personally.

I do agree with your high profile lawsuit though. My company started their own "diversity club" or whatever bullshit you wanna call it. I fully plan on joining and talking about how I've been discriminated against for my beliefs, only answering questions they ask until they figure out it's because I'm a Trump supporter. Will be interesting to see how they react.

What kind of commie are you?

People should be hiring whoever they want for whatever reason they want. Because that's the right earned by someone taking a risk to run a business.

The government does not belong here.

Let the market judge if they care about what color skin the person has who built their widget or served their coffee or wrote their app. Hint: they couldn't care less.

HiddenDekuScrub 1 point ago +1 / -0

I'm completely un-commie.

I just think clown world has gone vastly out of control and that race and all other "isms" need to be left in last century where they belong. Go complete meritocracy for a while, just for fun.

None of this cucked behavior will stop the crowd from looting your stores and it'll only push away conservatives from shopping there due to virtue signaling.

bigmikesballsack 9 points ago +9 / -0

What the fuck has an electronics store got to do with the justified shooting of a criminal? At this point, it's just virtue signaling so the "woke" crowd won't target them, and they won't be sued for "muh racial discrimination." Covering their asses like pathetic sheep.

And the next time I hear another empty platitude like "advocate for change" I'm going to eat three breakfast burritos, drive to Best Buy, stick a finger down my throat and throw it all up all over their fucking Apple craptops.

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS JUNETEENTH SHIT?!?!?!??!

FUCK BEST BUY AND ALL "WOKE" CORPORATIONS.

Went to buy a car stereo for my daughter at the Roanoke Best Buy, which I paid to have them install.

From start to finish the absolute shittiest retail experience I had in years. Ended up taking the stereo to a local guy to have him do the installation right.

Vowed to never go.into Best Buy again. 2 years later, I've kept my promise.
