This is how you know Obama is anti-capitalist...

Senator
Palantir Technologies co-founder Peter Thiel is evidently paying the price for backing Republican nominee Donald Trump, as the Obama administration has slapped his company with a frivolous lawsuit alleging “racial discrimination” against Asians.


The lawsuit, filed and announced Monday by the Department of Labor, threatens the complete cancellation of every contract Palantir has with the federal government — a penalty worth $340 million, the lawsuit claims, which would end the company.


The claims in the lawsuit are laughable. The Obama administration alleges that Palantir discriminated against Asians. But it has to admit that Palantir, in fact, hired many Asians — 11 out of 25 software engineers, for example. The government does not even bother to claim that Palantir deliberately excluded Asians. Rather, it argues that since only 44% of Palantir’s software engineers are Asian, but 85% of the applicant pool was Asian, Palantir must, statistically, have discriminated against Asians.


In other words: almost all of the software engineers at Palantir have to be Asian, or else it is guilty of “racial discrimination.” Apparently left-wing concern for “diversity” in the workplace is a flexible concept, based on political expediency.

This is precisely what you should expect when you elect a communisty organizer to run the Federal Government. And we wonder why the economy sucks so badly...

The don't even bother to hide their politically motivated bias.

It is already so freaking hard to hire actual competent people. Let alone, competent people who can get security clearances. The applicant pool in total is absolutely NO actual representation of eventual qualified applicants.

This whole disparate impact stuff is nonsense. The only way to prove actual real bais is to find documentation supporting actual real bias - I didn't rent to them because they were black, or I didn't hire them because they were Asian. The disparate impact hooey does not take into account the real world differences between people. How well spoken are they. How is their credit. What is their rental history? What is their employment history? THOSE things have nothing to do with race and gender, but are the actual important factors in determining things like who is a good hire, tenant or credit worthy. It is completely nothing but agenda driven bullshit to demand a system that ignores reality.

Anyway, Obama wrote books and sold them for, get this, money!

Seems capitalist enough to me.

Are you wondering why real GDP per capita is at an all-time high, or why stock valuations have soared, or why median real family income is at an all-time high? Or why we're nearing full employment? I'm unclear on which part you think sucks so bad.

I suspect Obama is the part that sucks so bad for Lukey.

1) GDP per capita has been puffed up by financial engineering and hasn't done anything about the hollowing out the middle class and destruction of good jobs.

2) Stock valuations, as I showed you before, are at "all time highs" thanks to p/e expansion as a result of the Fed's extraordinarily loose policy that has been in place throughout the "recovery." And yet, in real terms, stocks are still below their "all time highs" from 1999.

3) Real median income has been either declining or stagnating for the entire "recovery." You are using a very specious outlier report for last year to make this claim that is the result of bureaucratic legerdemain (admittedly by those bureaucrats). I don't believe it and neither do you - you simply like it for its proaganda value.

4) The only way we have approached "full employment" is by 15 million working age Americans dropping out of the workforce.

In fact, the fact is, none of your facts point to a real recovery. You know, you really can't make a punk ass economy look good with propaganda. Poppy Bush tried it in 1992 and had his head handed to him:

In 1992, Bill Clinton announced that “It’s the economy, stupid.” That was pretty much the sole theme of his campaign. He ludicrously claimed that the country was then experiencing “the worst economy since the Great Depression,” a lie that the press, to its everlasting shame, not just allowed but often endorsed. So what was the level of GDP growth that Clinton relentlessly denigrated?


According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the quarterly growth numbers for 1992, in chained 2009 dollars, were 4.8%, 4.5%, 3.9% and 4.1%. That’s right–the growth that Bill Clinton derided as the “worst economy since the Great Depression” was around four times what we are now seeing under Barack Obama. And Hillary Clinton promises to continue Obama’s anti-growth policies.

I have demonstrated my (alternative) findings repeatedly. The fact that you keep acting like I haven't made an outstanding defense of my positions on the economy (and destroyed yours in the process) simply demonstrates for all our readers what a crass political hack you are. In your view any stats that don't tell you what you want to hear don't even exist. You are a joke...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel#The_Diversity_Myth

"The Diversity Myth[edit]
"Thiel is the co-author, with David O. Sacks, and with a foreword by the late Emory University historian Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, of the 1995 book[111]

"The Diversity Myth: 'Multiculturalism' and the Politics of Intolerance at Stanford, published by The Independent Institute.

"The book is critical of political correctness in higher education and the consequent dilution of academic rigor. It 'drew a sharp rebuttal from then-Stanford Provost (and later President George W. Bush's National Security Advisor) Condoleezza Rice,' with Rice joining Stanford's then president in writing 'They (the two former students) concoct a cartoon, not a description of our freshman curriculum'[112] and that Thiel and Sacks' 'commentary was demagoguery, pure and simple.'"[

He's a hedge fundie AND and a damn Cardinal?
I say we lynch him before he pollutes the gene pool.:p
