I do not.

Newsome has been talking about it in California for quite some time. Giggles is about that dumb, hails from there, and is equally Marxist in her leanings.

Or perhaps, like Newsom, Harris would know her constituency and, lacking a political death wish, avoid doing something so stupid.

Our society has little hope until the festering boil that afflicts the fearful and weak amongst us, i.e., the fallacious belief that, "I lose something every time you gain something", is lanced and drained once and for all.

I’m waiting to be proven wrong.

Case in point: for our program’s accreditation renewal, one of the requirements is to “demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in hiring and promotion policies.” I provided a copy of our institutional non-discrimination policy as well as copies of our job postings that encourage women and minorities to apply. I was told that’s not sufficient proof.

I pointed out that, out of the ten faculty I supervise, seven are women and three are minorities. I am the lone White male. Not good enough.

It appears that the bottom line is that I am expected to make a determination ahead of time that, when there is an opening, we will hire a woman/minority, regardless of who is best qualified or who is the best fit AND if no one who fits those standards applies, I am responsible for going door to door to locate them.

At least that’s what I’m left to conclude, since no one will answer my direct question of “What does ‘good enough’ look like?”

I rest my case.

I do not.

Even IF she wanted to, it is not something that could be accomplished in even an 8 year administration. We do not have even remotely close to the charging infrastructure to support that.

We don’t. We won’t.

And even seriously pursuing it would be 2028/32 death.

I firmly believe that there are NO policy considerations that justify vesting a President with the sort of power Trump would have. But this isn’t even a plausible fear to have, of a Harris administration.

Do you know that horse carriages are outlawed on Interstate highways? So are bicycles. Is that Marxist? Is it discriminatory against the Amish? Discuss.

Meh. Carriages and bicycles aren’t the basis of an entire nation’s economic system. Anymore

I imagine it is difficult for you to observe the actions of men.
