I'll break this out because it's an important point. Subject matter experts catastrophize. I'll say it again. Subject matter experts make catastrophies out of their specialities. I'm an engineer. Oftentimes, we design something and it has some hidden problem that we can't figure out, so we bring in experts. I've literally never ever ever ever brought in an expert that didn't say everything to do with their speciality is completely FUBAR and we need to redesign everything. The power guy says the power is all wrong and we need to redesign all the power. 100% sure our problem is from power The signal integrity guy says our layout is all wrong and they're 100% sure our problem is a signal integrity problem. RF guy says the RF is all wrong and we need to completely redesign everything. 100% convinced that's the problem Then turns out it was some software problem we finally catch and everything works great. But my job as a leader is to make decisions. And in most companies we don't make high dollar decisions unless we're absolutely god damned sure. So here's what we do. We listen to everyone. We create an impact assessment. If the impact is high, we make the sky screamers prove to us what they are sky screaming about before we do anything. We don't make decisions out of fear and because we don't have an endless amount of tax payer dollars to waste, we invest our time and money wisely by making policy that considers all aspects of the decision. In covid, we listened to the sky screamers and made a trillion dollar mistake out of fear grandma would die. Guess what? grandma was getting covid anyway. There was no need to waste trillions of dollars. In covid, by the time the jab hit, it was obvious young, healthy people were not at risk of dying. There was no reason to force them to take fast-tracked vaccine. Leaders have to make shìtty decisions sometimes. Tanking the economy to save grandma was the wrong move we made decisions out of fear. You'll claim hindsight .. nope we said it in real time. You'll claim novel virus... Indeed it was a novel virus. That's why you don't make trillion dollar decisions with incomplete information. Again... Making decisions out of fear, and out of covering your ass. And once it was clear, our decision making was overly draconian, we didn't course correct. Why? Fear. "If I change my decision, it'll look bad on me." "If Grandma dies, I need say I did something. Let's burn these trillions." Nope. It was terrible decision making all the way around. People with common sense knew it in near real time. The media told you it was righteous, so now you'll go to your grave believing that.

Except my opinions that I said three months into covid were correct, and the policy makers that presumably were listening to doctors were wrong. We should've never shut down. We should've never forced the jab on young healthy people. Your problem is you think we live in a ideal society where people do things out of moral character. The main motivation of all those clowns is 1. Keep their job, 2. Cover their ass, 3. Make money................ 4. Set policy that benefit us hoi polloi. Once you start to realize that, you'll understand life better. That's why I could look around with my own eyes and see the policies were bunk. Although I'm sure you'll be one of the many here who say they didn't support mandates with 0.00000001% of your energy and spend the rest of your energy saying dancing around why it was cool. And the Biden thing isn't whataboutism. It's precedent. We had a straight up incapacitated president asleep at the wheel. Everyone but the wokies knew it. Nothing happened (except putin invading Ukraine since he was empowered to do so by a vegetable president who knew was in know position to make any real stand). And yes nothing happened after kennedy got assassinated. People feeling anxious doesn't amount to a crisis. Way to jam so much wrong in one post. The density of wrong in there is off the charts. Impressive.

So pretty much just like 80% or so of people

Weed reclassified to Schedule 3. I don't smoke weed, but this is so obvious, I can't believe it took this long to get it done.

Preach. Glad to see people recognize a race hustle when they see it. Too bad it only seems to be recognizable one way.

Some consulting firm clearly told Newsom that Trump-like antics will play well with voters. The problem here is that this is so obviously produced it comes off cringy. Trump says some goofy sh¡t but at least he's being his authentic self and not what some consulting firm told him to be.

Dang. Looks like he got Clintonized!?!?!

Now you know it's time to buy because I promise you the market manipulators are planting fear for their inevitable entrance back into the market.

So what's the grift here? They ring up a bogus food stamp charging the snap card like $150. They give the customer $100 in cash and then get reimbursed for the $150 from snap program? Not a bad scam. Wait, if the people doing this aren't buying food, how are they feeding their starving kids that the wokies here assured me would be going hungry if food stamps were cut off?

He's just race hustling from the other side.

Obama never struck me as dumb. And I don't know who the best fher one is. And yeah, you don't need to be all that smart to graduate from Harvard. You used to need to be smart to get in, but once you're in, it's more about networking (grifters will excel here).

Authorities also allege the defendants sold MannaPack meals, a donated food product intended for food-insecure children overseas, for about $8 per package. These meals are funded entirely by charitable donations and are not authorized for retail sale. “These products are not for sale anywhere. Yet Bonheur and Alisme were selling them in their stores for nearly $10 a pack, profiting from food literally intended for starving children in disaster zones,” Foley said.

He likely was referring to those particular black women, but let me help you out since I know people like you who are inherently racist struggle identifying what's actually racist and what isn't. The argument that people should be chosen on merit is a righteous and not racist at all. Calling a singular black person (or 4 black people) dumb isn't racist because individuals can be judged... Individually. That's the whole point. What makes Kirk's statement racist, though, is that if you are saying that someone should be hired based on merit, then saying the spot was stolen from a white person implies that by definition white people have more merit which is, in fact, racist. If he said she stole the position from someone more deserving = not racist Assuming this hypothetical person that is more deserving is white = racist Now he likely would argue that in the context of the discussion, affirmative action by definition is taking a spot from a presumably white person and giving it to a person from an underrepresented group, so in the context of a discussion around affirmative action assuming the "stolen" spot would've gone to a white person is appropriate. But if you're keen on painting him a racist (I don't know enough to say for sure he was or wasn't), that's an easier track then couching his characterization of the likes of joy reid and Sheila jackson Lee as stupid when they so clearly are. I mean stupid in the sense of making policy, logical thinking, etc. clearly they are gifted at grifting.

Preach

Respect the hustle.
