Not surprising. The amount of money and the hubris that goes along with that has reached insane levels in the Bay Area.
Fair but would’ve been wise to fill their Risk Management role instead of focusing on DEI. Not saying they couldn’t do both but their first priority (like it or not) is shareholders & they failed by not monitoring the risk of the purchase of Treasury Bonds when it was pretty obvious interest rates would be rising thus tanking the bonds.
So many companies tout themselves as woke people caring, concerned companies when they're in it for the profit. People buy it hook, line and sinker all the time. Starbucks is a good example. They're facing strikes and unionization because they don't want to pay, yet they charge $2.65 for a small regular coffee.
At initial glance her BIO looks impressive. Then I thought, why so many jobs? A little deeper dive shows she was hired in January. From this statement in Fortune.com it looks like they closed the barn doors after the horse got out. No reason given in the article why Izurieta stepped downKim Olson - Chief Risk Officer
Meet Kim Olson, Chief Risk Officer at Silicon Valley Bankwww.svb.com
Which part of her bio do you think makes her a bad fit? Obviously post-SVB she's untouchable but I can't seem to find the holes in her pre-SVB resume.
If you're referring to the UK head of risk - plenty of firms have CSR initiatives. A client of mine, one of the largest EMD's in Toronto makes it a part of their monthly directors meetings to speak about inclusivity and community initiatives they are taking part in.
(If they end up in the news my statement to any alt right reporter - no I will not comment on them)
Looking back - I think I missed the first point of Dodgers post. I thought he was questioning her hire, but it looks like it was more that they allowed the UK risk officer to lead pride initiatives than finding a new CRO.At initial glance her BIO looks impressive.

Silicon Valley Bank had no official chief risk officer for 8 months while the VC market was spiraling | Fortune
SVB's former CRO stepped down in April 2022, and the next CRO was appointed earlier this year, according to the bank's regulatory filings.fortune.com
I think you can do casual interviews without playing catch. But it's neither here nor there.
I agree. I'm just poking Cack.
Not a parody. It’s his own Truth account.
I scrolled through his "truths" from the past 4 days and didn't see it.
You should read more history. The Klan is a Democrat-founded group. Few if any Republicans ever belonged to the Klan and wore their hoods. That was a Robert Byrd, George Wallace, 100% Democrat-associated group.
There are tons of articles and studies that show racial bias in home values and with 90% of the people doing them being white is no surprise to anyone. It’s like one of the most well known issues with minorities buying houses. Lmaooo. Google minority people home values. Have fun.

So it’s a post that was made from his own Truth account?
FIFY
Yes hah as far as I know. Haven’t seen anything otherwise. He has been posting stuff like this for a few weeks now. Getting more and more insane.
I think ascribing political ideas to a large brick and motor store shutting down a location or two is a convenient way for people to put their own spin on it. Large box office locations are moving out of cities all over the place. For reference, Toronto's worst neighborhood has an Audi/Benz dealership in it. They certainly experience theft/vandalism at higher rates than other dealerships but if they were to close it would be over a business decision rather than political motive.
Specifically to Portland - this article is stating that the police budget is back up to higher rates than it was in 2020, so if we're going to say defunding the police is contributing then it would have to be related to the 2021 budget decrease.
Portland records its 93rd homicide in 2022, a new all-time high
Portland breezed past last year’s record 92 homicides and planted a new flag on Nov. 23 when the city recorded its 93rd homicide of the year. The 93 deaths include four people who were shot by Portland police and a man killed by a Clackamas County Sheriff's Office deputy during a pursuit into...www.opb.org
When I look at the crime data for Portland - there was 5,573 offenses is Jan 2018 and 5,883 in Jan 2023. Which is a 5.5% increase in gross offenses. Based on these population trend, it seems like Portland averages an increase of around 1% in pop growth. So basically it seems like crime rates appear to be increasing at comparable population increases. The data does show a spike in crime in 2021, but did Wal Mart shutdown their stores in 2021? No, they didn't.

So what has significantly changed in the past 5 years in Wal Mart's ecospace? The prominence of online selling and reduction of store space. I think it's easier to explain that Wal Mart is shutting these locations down to accommodate for those shifts.
If you look at their annual report, they have been consistently decreasing their retail square feet metrics. Unfortunately we can't see what their inventory provision stats look like or shrinkage to see what $ of theft is happening.
You mean the Civil Rights Act that the Democrats filibustered? That one? No, the racists didn't flee to the Republican party. You can't just make up stuff to dodge the ugly truth of your party's history. They founded the Klan. They made up virtually all of its members. Your party elected a former Klan leader as Majority Leader of the US Senate and he remained a lifelong Democrat. Same with George Wallace. He was a Democrat when he was pushing segregation and standing in the door blocking black students from enrolling in college, and he remained a Democrat until the day he died.
Who founded the Klan, Cack? Who dominated its leadership and membership throughout its history? You're accusing those you don't like of wearing Klan hoods, yet your beloved party is the one who founded the Klan and controlled it for almost all its existence. A bit hypocritical and intentionally obtuse of you, don't you think?Poor bish can’t accept the Southern Strategy that was employed by the GOP to coral all the disaffected conservative Democrats after LBJ left them behind

You continue to conveniently ignore the undisputed fact that hate groups like the Klan, in the year 2023 and for the last 50 something years, have been made up entirely of Republican voters (if they even vote.)

It seems to be photoshopped. Unless the individual screenshot it before he deleted it.
The Klan lost all power/influence when the GOP started competing in the South.
