not the Indian Ocean

I hear the Indian Ocean has been renamed Great Sea of Pakistan.

No.

Well back in #25 you pretty much said that.

While DEI initiatives do not legally mandate quotas, in practice they often function as de facto quotas.

So is it your opinion that the most qualified candidate for any position is always the straight white man? That's what "DEI" is... the subset of humanity that are not straight, white men.

Common sense should tell you that forced quotas will eliminate sometimes better qualified candidates.

DEI is not "forced quotas".

Yeah, because air traffic controllers need to be 'diverse' not competent...

Believe it or not, it's possible to be both.

It was refreshing to hear the NTSB professionals talk.

Have they been fired yet?

Central Valley farmers want free water

"Farmers" like Stewart and Lynda Resnick.

Democrats haven't learned nothing.

Well said.

Trump bragged about how Musk stole the election for him.

He didn't steal it. He bought it. A very different thing.

fatal crash could have been caused partly by DEI

Is that code for the aviation industry employing someone that is not a straight, while male?

Trump has a worse criminal record than virtually everyone he is deporting.

It's good to be King.

This whipsaw executive authority needs to stop. People can't organize their lives around this level of chaos when it changes so rapidly.

That is very true, but it's not going to happen. There will no changes to the Constitution, so temporary EOs are all there is.

Maybe you should look at the flurry of Executive Orders that Pres Trump is issuing.

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."

No Asian

So a terrorist attack. Bring on the tariffs!

Let's get back to the thread topic ...

Yes. Was the pilot a straight white male, or not?

Operation Eagle Claw?

This one will be "Operation Biden's Fault".

Jimmy Carter took a lot of heat for crashing an army chopper in Iran. Cost him an election.

People will be livid that Lewzer crashed one in his own back yard in his first month.

Lewzer should fire everyone immediately.

Other than straight white men. They can stay.

Lewzer should fire everyone immediately.

Lewzer should have banned air traffic but he's wasting time with DEI.

Sad.

Probably incompetent Asian pilots.

Lewzer effed this up, but eggs are cheaper now.

I hope they are distributed equally so it doesn't capsize.

Gracie doesn't know the difference between Cuba and Guam.

How shocked are we?

You mean, renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" didn't work as a diversion?

Probably for those that thought he meant "Gulf of the United States", but they missed the subtlety.
