My Affirmative Action Story
Back in college I went to go get a job near my campus during the summer, before my next football season started. Just so you know my background, I had absolutely NO MONEY as I grew up unbelievably poor and my single Mom never had the ability to even send me a dollar. Then, as I was looking for work, I saw that Lowe's was hiring and this looked like a perfect opportunity for me because I had worked at a hardware store myself throughout high school. I quickly applied for a job.
Later, my teammates and I were in the locker room after one of our workouts and started talking about finding work during the summer. I let them know that Lowe's was hiring and that I had applied myself. Then JJ, one of my friends/teammates started complaining that his parents were trying to make him work for the first time. For context, JJ was black and his parents were both extremely wealthy lawyers. They actually wanted him to work purely to teach him responsibility, work ethic, etc. but he was 100% against this and pissed off about it. Then, as he was thinking about this out loud, he said "you know what, as long as they THINK I'm looking for work they will stay off my back." So he decided to also apply to Lowe's himself with plans of "intentionally bombing" his interview, if he went at all.
Fast-forward a few days and I had my job interview. I owned literally one shirt and pair of pants that could even be considered "dressy" and that is a stretch... they were very old clothes that were from Goodwill. Anyways, I put them on and gave my very best in the interview: Eye contact the whole time, said "yes sir" and "no sir" always, answered questions well and did as good as I possibly could. Also, it turned out that the most urgent job they needed to fill was in plumbing, which was the exact department that I had previously worked in during high school. I left there feeling very good about everything.
A few days later JJ had his interview. He said that he was going to just skip it but knew his parents would find out so he went, planning on intentionally bombing. The interview went as follows, according to JJ himself: First off, he had a bunch of really nice clothes but intentionally decide to wear a beater, backwards hat and athletic shorts. During the interview he was as disrespectful to the manager as he possibly could be, on purpose. He slouched back in the chair, no eye contact, no saying "sir" at all, while loudly chewing gum with his mouth open. He even told them that he has never worked and didn't want to work but his parents made him apply for the job. JJ was actually bragging about doing this before our afternoon football workout later the same day. Also, just so you all know, he actually was normally not like this... he was very respectful towards coaches and a pretty good, dependable teammate as well. He just REALLY did not want to work a job...
Fast forward a week and I hear JJ cussing and pissed off outside of our dorms. I walk over to him and find out that he just got called from Lowe's. They had offered him the job he didn't want and that is why he was so angry. Then I go inside, call Lowe's myself and they let me know that they had "already filled the position unfortunately." JJ had literally got the job in plumbing that I had applied for. I later came to find out that this particular Lowe's was having trouble employing "enough African Americans" and meeting certain "requirements"... they needed a hire based solely on a specific race.
This is just one example of why Affirmative Action should not exist. A rich black young adult with no job experience that TRIED to not get hired got picked over a dirt poor white young adult with direct job experience... someone that actually NEEDED the job.
So what happened in the end? JJ went in to work for three days, was hours late each day and then abruptly quit. Lowe's didn't care... they made the AA diversity hire they needed.

🇳🇪 The military regime in Niger has with immediate effect, banned the export of uranium to France. Over 50 per cent of the uranium ore extracted from Niger is used for fuelling French nuclear power plants. 24% of EU uranium imports come from Niger.
In France, 1 in every 3 lightbulbs is powered by Uranium from Niger. Meanwhile in Niger, 80% of people do not have access to any electricity.

❗️The Ministry of Defense of Poland has confirmed that Belarusian helicopters crossed the country's airspace. The incident was reported to NATO
"On August 1, 2023, there was a violation of Polish airspace by two Belarusian helicopters conducting exercises near the border. The border crossing took place in the Białowieża area at a very low altitude, which makes it difficult to detect it by radar. Thus, in the morning message, it was reported that the violation of airspace on the territory of Poland was not recorded.
It was ordered to increase the number of troops on the border and allocate additional forces and assets, including combat helicopters.

The Ministry of Defense of Belarus rejected Warsaw's claims about the violation of Polish airspace by two helicopters.
The Belarusian ministry believes that Warsaw needs the statement about the violation of Polish airspace for "another justification for building up forces and means near the Belarusian border."

Pigeons are many times deemed as mere nuisances especially by city dwellers. However, they were quite valuable in ancient Iran, mostly for their droppings!
There are still many ruined or well-preserved “luxury” accommodation buildings across the ancient land, which are specially designed and constructed for pigeons. Named “pigeon towers”, each of such bird homes, where the droppings could be collected and used as fertilizer, can hold as many as 14,000 pigeons.

🇷🇺 At the Vostochny Cosmodrome, equipment checks are underway for the "Luna-25" spacecraft ahead of its launch.
The "Luna-25" spacecraft is the first Russian lunar probe that will continue the exploration mission of the Soviet automatic lunar stations. The launch is scheduled for the first half of August.
The current mission aims to study the natural satellite of our planet from orbit and its surface, collect and deliver lunar soil to Earth. The lander will explore the surface of the Moon near the southern pole.
The launch and landing of "Luna-25" mark the first phase of the Russian program for the exploration and practical use of the Moon and the lunar vicinity, conducted by the S. A. Lavochkin Scientific Production Association and the Institute of Space Research.
Since the mid-1970s, the "seventh continent" of our planet has been unjustly forgotten by humanity. But recent scientific discoveries have revived interest in the Moon. Russia is not only returning to the Moon but also taking a step towards staying there for a long time.
