Past The Point Of No Return

Honest, people, this is not a story from The Bee. It's on foxnews.com. It's from Oregon, so while it shocks the hell out of me, it doesn't surprise me.

'Megan Donecker, who formerly served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s DEI strategy officer, complained about the agency's management, criticizing her boss Mike Shaw for looking "beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job," OregonLive reported.'

How the hell did we get to a place in society where someone could be canned from his job because he hires based on merit rather than identity?

After seeing this, it almost makes me think that a catastrophic end-of-the-world event wouldn't be a bad idea; it would give Mother Nature a chance to cleanse herself of worthless pieces of crap like this and start over. Yeah, there'd be some unfortunate collateral damage, but when people like this idiot in Oregon wield this kind of power, maybe that's a price worth paying.

    One of their problems is that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution are in direct conflict with the lib/dem/prog attempt at micromanaging each of our lives.

    I've spent the past several days in NYC, and NYers here really do feel the rest of the American people are crazy and don't deserve the rights that the Constitution guarantees. NYC should be deported, imo.

    iirc, Scientology has been suggesting alien (ET) interference with human development since its inception. (I'm not an expert on Scientology so I could be mistaken.)

    Libs have so little self-awareness that they fail to understand that the concept of DEI is itself racist.

    Diversity classifies everyone by groups based solely on--among other things--race. It ignores character, individuality, other things that make us what we are.

    Equity is essentially the guarantee of an equal outcome, rather than equal opportunity. If you and I are in the same job, we should get paid the same. No matter that you're willing to work the extra hours, put in the extra effort, go well above and beyond what's expected.

    And Inclusion is, by definition, exclusionary. At Christmas, they kick anything Christian out of schools and businesses and government offices, saying things like "we want to include everyone". But what they really mean is that they want to exclude Christians and include everyone else. It's much like Galt says in his speech. They don't want to win; they want you to lose. They don't want what you have; they just don't want you to have it.

    The whole concept of DEI should be illegal.

    I would love to read that book. By some chance, do you know its title? And I sure wish I knew what was happening; one day if my granddaughter asks me about events of the last 10-15 years, I will honestly have no idea what to tell her.

    If I recall from reading an Isaac Asimov story decades ago that an advanced extraterrestrial species didn't want humans to get into space because of their aggressive nature, so the aliens turned a beam of energy at the earth that drove people nuts and they turned on each other and ended the endeavor to travel to other planets. Whether Asimov made a good call here or not is now irrelevant because it seems large swaths of the population are going nuts.

    I figure your call, rainman0720, that mother nature is getting ready to cull the herd is just as good as Asimov's. WTF is going on?!
