How many washroom attendants or porta-potty cleaners do they need?
Spray paint salespeople?
Oh man, can you just imagine the people who will be hired “staffing” this crook’s “center”. It isn’t a library, it is a “center”. Regardless, 85% of the country would not be considered for any position at this place, you’d need to be part some unique/odd religion, race, pronoun category to even be considered for employment. The hiring will follow some percentage standard of each category…whatever, what sort of “work” would be done there anyway – Spreading propaganda.
Any bets DEI candidates, “ violence interruptors “ and other holistic types get first crack at positions funded with taxpayer dollars? Remember- the Snake Oil salesman is only on the hook for building this Stalinesque monstrosity, the taxpayers are for its operation and upkeep.
Are these jobs all DEI hires, or open to everyone?
