Chick-fil-A provides free meals to Aurora police working shooting case

http://twitter.com/#!/Stranahan/status/226279800426332160

In the wake of this morning’s tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Chick-fil-A is feeding the tireless police officers working the case. Breitbart.com’s Lee Stranahan learned of the fast food chain’s outreach earlier today via police radio:

The notice went out over the police radio at 4:45am Mountain Time that the restaurant had opened its doors to police and emergency workers to get a meal and use the facilities. Some double checked to see if the the restaurant was offering free food and that was confirmed.

@LScribbens THEY didn't make a deal of it. I heard it on the police scanner and reported it.

Chick-fil-A has been such a media punching bag lately, they deserve credit for helping out the police officers working on #AuroraShooting

— Lee Stranahan (@stranahan) July 20, 2012

I. Hate. Bullies. And if Ben and Jerry's had opened their doors to the police, I'd have praised them, too. Deal with it, hateful left.

— Lee Stranahan (@stranahan) July 20, 2012

A handful of vile Twitterers refused to put politics aside in the tragedy’s aftermath and seized the opportunity to condemn Chick-fil-A for its vocal support of traditional marriage:

$3M to fight marriage equality, but it's ok cuz they gave cops some chicken tenders and waffle fries? @m_mcaulay @MaxGraham @stranahan

— Akbar Khan (@akbarkhan) July 20, 2012

@stranahan Yes because that makes up for all they've done wrong. giving away food to the cops. HAHA

— Max Graham (@MaxGraham) July 20, 2012

@rachelveronica @Stranahan insulting to the victims to see someone try to push that chick fil a deserves a moment of credit. BARF

— Max Graham (@MaxGraham) July 20, 2012

Fortunately, most people had their priorities straight and rightly praised Chick-fil-A for its generosity:

KUDOS!! @ChikfilA serving emrgncy personnel in CO theater shooting! They also provided food here during a 4 day search 4 a lost autistic boy

I think I want to eat at Chick-fil-a now after hearing how generous the local franchise is being in Colorado #batman #shooting

@ChickfilA opening doors to provide Aurora Colorado police at theatre shooting scene to be able to use restroom and get a bite to eat #bravo

Good on Chick-fil-A. Doing the right thing transcends politics.

Because that’s the most IDEAL FORM OF TRANSPORTATION to get to a ball.

8. After she uses her limitless sorcery to make a carriage OUT OF A PUMPKIN, she decides it should be pulled by MICE TURNED INTO HORSES.

Horse-mice that have never been bigger than a few inches UNTIL NOW is a MUCH better option, obviously.

K thanks.

16. So let’s just collect our thoughts here for a second:

This “Fairy Godmother,” whose whole purpose in life is to make Cinderella happy, showed up for the first time EVER in NINETEEN YEARS to spoil her with materialistic things, FOR A FUCKING DANCE, and it will all only last for a few hours? YOU GAVE THIS POOR ORPHAN HAPPINESS THAT WILL LAST SHORTER THAN A LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIE?

OK AWESOME — THANKS FAIRY GODMOTHER!!! XOXOOXOXOXOXO

Getting A Job At Goldman Sachs Is Harder Than Getting Into Harvard

Nearly 270,000 people applied for 8,300 Goldman Sachs jobs in 2014.

View this image ›

BuzzFeed, Goldman Sachs, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT

Despite a wave of trend stories about finance losing out in prestige to technology and the persistently poor reputation of investment banks following the financial crisis, a lot of people still want to work at Goldman Sachs, and very few get the opportunity to do so.

In a presentation given at a Credit Suisse conference in South Florida, Goldman Sachs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein said that “nearly 270,000” people applied for 8,300 open positions at the company, and that, of the roughly 3% of those that got job offers, “nearly 90%” accepted them. “We remain the employer of choice in our industry,” Blankfein said.

While it’s not a perfect comparison, Goldman is in some sense harder to get into than the elite schools that it draws on for many of its bankers and traders. Harvard admitted 5.9% of its applicants for the class of 2018, while Stanford admitted just 5.1%. Yale’s acceptance rate was just over 5%, with Princeton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology both taking in just under 8% of applicants.

Last year, Goldman said its analyst program, which recruits a few hundred people directly from colleges and universities, made job offers to 4% of its applicants.

The difficulty of getting a job at Goldman comes despite the bank’s pay levels staying relatively low, alongside revenues that are basically unchanged over the past years. Goldman spent $12.7 billion on employee compensation in 2014, the bank said, or 37% of its total revenues. In 2007, Goldman’s $20.19 billion in compensation expense was 44% of its total revenues.
