Elon Musk keeps trying to find ways to not pay Black people for the harm he causes them. Tesla's request to not pay a Black plaintiff's award from a jury case was rejected by a federal judge on appeal
08:22 AM - Oct 08, 2023
When my Black peers tell me they want to own a Tesla, I take them to task immediately. I let them know that Tesla has the US govt suing them for anti-Black racism abuses inside the company. I then hear a, "I didn't know " , mumble before my Black peer changes the subject. Why don't they know?!

If the news is too much and you need a mental break, try watching Netflix series "The Devil's Plan." It's a reality math and logic show w/12 contestants. The younger contestants quickly learn that their older peers who form teams achieve more. Can you play the games and guess who will win?

In response to Bun the Franky.
When I took a job in South Carolina, I received no relocation assistance. It cost me $10,000.00 of my own money to move as a renter, not as a homeowner. You're correct. Most Americans can't afford to move from their current locations because the financial cost is high. 😱

Quoting this because apparently there are some privileged dipshits that still need to hear it.

Bun the Franky @ZomBunnyFrankJust to make it clear:10:59 AM - Jul 12, 2023
The average cost of an interstate move in America is $5,000.
The number of people in America with less than $5,000 is savings is 75%.
Do the fucking math. And quit shitting on people who don't have the privilege to make a choice about which state they live in.

If you got this far in my thread, here's the info behind my questions.
Every community in the USA is part of a statistical area where the averages of incomes are calculated and classified into 1 of 4 categories. This is called the "Area Median Income" or AMI.
You have a federal classification.

Double bonus info:
Most Americans consider themselves "middle class" or above. However, the US government may mathematically classify many households as "low income".
This can be traumatic info when a person or family is looking for a new home.

Elijah Manley @ielijahmanleyStop telling people in Florida to just move. Moving is expensive and not everyone can afford to leave and start everything over. I’m also not going to just move from my home, where I have grown and loved because a fascist dictator wants me to. I’m fighting to take back my home.02:25 PM - Mar 01, 2023

I'm perfectly comfortable and resigned to the fact Spoutible won't be for everybody. Different strokes and all that. We definitely wouldn't force anyone to be here. We're not a cult insisting you "be one of us"...

If new #Spoutible users don't understand the significance of this move, please read my personal thread on legacy admissions from a few days ago.
This lawsuit will be even more significant than the affirmative action-ending lawsuit.👇🏾

We had enough resources to handle a reasonable wave of new users similar to what we have experienced in the past. As you witnessed yesterday, we handled the surge of traffic well. But today, it's significantly higher, and we just weren't prepared for this many users flooding in at once.

I'm going to spout for the Spoutible newbies here. You all came running from an app that is over a decade old, to an app thats 6 months old. Yall did it at the same time. Are you seriously expecting it to run without hiccups. The Spotible team are very reactive to issues and fix them quickly.

Affirmative action is targeted accommodation. It deserves to stand.
I'm the better for it. The nation is the better for it.
No, it is the shamelessly corrupt conservatives on the supreme court who should stand down.
Honestly, it's an embarrassment to the nation to have them call fair play foul.

Despite the bad eggs who diminished the experience...and oh, I could tell stories...my time at RIT was overwhelmingly positive.
The institute has been doing the work for decades making targeted accommodations for students...with wisdom and grace...making no apology for leveling the playing field.

It is critical for student populations to represent us all.
I got so much out of my experience at RIT and that experience was directly and positively influenced by the minority and disabled communities that accepted me. nurtured me, and cheered me to acheivement.
It's critical we serve as allies.
