Is Google doing anything for the poor folks in McDowell County WV?

[bornaneer]

Google is backing a new pilot program from CODE2040 in three cities.
Starting this year in Chicago, Austin and Durham, N.C., the San
Francisco non-profit will give minority entrepreneurs in each city a
one-year stipend and free office space.
CODE2040 is a non-profit
founded in 2012 that focuses on getting more African Americans and
Hispanics into the tech workforce. It has graduated nearly 50 fellows,
many of whom have gone to work for companies such as Facebook, LinkedIn
and Uber.

It's because Google begins with 'G'....

and so does Government. Coincidence comrade?

 

[bornaneer]

Just a question..... Does Google,the NFL, NBA and others only believe....

the inner cities have poor and underprivileged kids who need help.

Many states push minority participation requirements in bidding

processes on public work. It's a sham that essentially drives up the cost of work and really doesn't help minority owned busineses.

This program sounds like something that could help a minority business get established. Help them with capital. Help them understand how to run a business. File taxes. Payrolls... etc.

Just handing out work won't do it. Supporting them in other ways.

I'd say it's a numbers game.

A poors per sq mi formula.

Yahoo mostly...but I haven't found anything that beats Google Maps.

plus, don't/can't people manipulate things so that they look like a minority owned business on paper so they can get those jobs...had a buddy that if I recall did something like put his daughter or wife in a certain position within his company so he could get those minority owned perks.

FFS. Do you still use your AOL email account too?

Disable Vet projects are reknown for that. We've come across

a number of "disabled vets" in our work.

One guy was a commercial airline pilot for over 20 years, but claimed hearing loss from flying during Vietnam. Meanwhile, my father flew C-130's for 20 years, not a single problem with his hearing so no set aside perks for him.

You should do an experiment sometime....

Try running searches with different search engines and see who wins. I think you'll find that yahoo kinda sucks.

I seem always find what I'm looking for through Yahoo.

Yahoo is just Bing in different clothing.
