Cheers & Jeers
Cheers to Home Depot. Working in any service-sector job is not easy. The pay is low, the hours can be long, the demands on the body can be punishing, schedules can be irregular and customers can be a handful. That being the case, Home Depot deserves credit for a new initiative that mandates corporate employees work at least one whole day at its stores to fully understand what its employees go through. The requirement includes senior management for the home improvement retailer. According to Ted Decker, Home Depot’s CEO, “We need to stay connected to the core of our business, so we can truly understand the challenges our store associates face every day.” This is an idea that more companies need to take up.
Cheers to California senior running back Lee Qualk for another stellar effort in the Trojans’ latest victory. Qualk ran for 257 yards and five touchdowns in California’s 56-14 win at Beth-Center to keep the Trojans tied atop the Tri-County South Conference standings with a 6-0 record. California, which is 7-2 overall, has already clinched a playoff spot and will host Jefferson-Morgan Friday night with the winner claiming the conference championship. Qualk now has rung up 204 points this season and has led the 无毛视频-Standard Touchdown Club standings most of the year. Qualk has 32 touchdowns and 12 two-point conversions, giving him a total 204 points. He’s only the 12th player in WPIAL history to score 200 or more points in the regular season. Qualk now has 1,852 rushing yards, averaging 205 per game in his senior year and will attempt on Friday night to become only the seventh player in WPIAL history to rush for 2,000 yards in the regular season.
Jeers to election-related misinformation. Georgia is on a lot of people’s minds right now, thanks to its status as one of the seven battleground states in this year’s presidential election. And, as this election season has gotten hotter and hotter, there have been allegations that legions of noncitizens are casting ballots in our elections. It should be noted that these claims are made without much evidence to back them up. This week, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger released the results of an audit of the state’s voter rolls and it found that in the fast-growing state that has attracted plenty of migrants, the number of noncitizens who were registered to vote was … 20. That’s out of more than 8 million registered voters. And of those 20, 11 had never voted and nine had voted years ago. Results like this should put to rest the myth that hordes of noncitizens are voting in America.
