"Musk is using Trump's attack on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as an excuse to fire people of color"

I can't imagine why a Nazi would want to do this.

I can't imagine why another Nazi would allow him to.

Apparently, the shrimptacodan current alias seems to have a difficulty distinguishing the non-white skin of someone from India from a person from Africa.


But, is that really surprise?

They are hiring the most qualified people. You racist piece of shht.

The problem you fkkking jackholes are having is it's no longer ONLY white men.

How odd to be hired based on merit rather than race or gender.

Really.

How so?

DOGE has been firing workers on probation, regardless of whether or not those workers are, as your current alias states, most qualified.

They've been fired simply because they are on probation.

And, probation includes those who have been recently promoted for doing their job well.

They were on probation in their new position.

They were promoted because they did their prior job well.

But, in DOGE's view, they are on probation, therefore they face the axe.

Firing those who have done their job well?

WTF?!?!?!?

So, please explain how the firing of all those who are on probation results in "everything else takes care of itself."

thx.

Yer up.

Don't hold your breath.

That troll only posts comments because he gets his jollies from reading people respond to his stupidity. It's a form of mental illness.

Several of his recent comments have been copied straight from Rightwing (social) media.

I doubt any of our Republican posters have had an original opinion in the past decade.

They're just regurgitating the hate they've been fed.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Be Not Too Hard (1974)
www.youtube.com

A fav, yet obscure, tune of mine from back in the day.

"Do-Wah-Diddy" Manfred Mann scored a base-clearing homer with this one, imo.


Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
Be not too hard if he's sold or bought
For he must do the best he can

Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Or if his heart is sometimes stone

Be not too hard for soon he'll die
Often no wiser than he began
Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
...

I don't.

What I do find curious, though, is the appearance of some aliases here at the same time, almost in sync.

Almost as if there is a troll farm, and people check in and out for their shift.


Yeah, back in the day, I used to run a message board (but never again, if you're curious, just ask).

That is one of the main reasons why I have so much admiration for this message board and how RCade manages it.

I have said this before, but major thanks to RCade for providing this message board.

DEI is being recognized for the toxicity that it is. The sooner it's shunned the better off our society will be.

You know who says DEI is to toxic?? White supremacists. That's who.

That's an unusually harsh comment from your current alias.

I have two questions:

1) why the extreme position, all of a sudden?

2) what, specifically, is the toxicity of DEI that has driven your current alias to this extreme?

#31 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-03-14 01:10 AM | Reply

You know who says DEI is toxic? Black and brown people who are capable and don't want to be pigeon-holed into a false class of permanently oppressed people and who don't inherently hate caucasians and Asians based upon immutable traits.
