The end.  Instead you choose a solution that should be implemented country wide without any thought to 2nd or 3rd order effects.

This is the way of the woke.

The investment in JRTOC and ROTC waxes and wanes with the times.  I would bet with the current recruiting issues the investment will increase.

I wish.  Currently teaching AFJROTC and we are getting cut.  The HQ is trying to close 300 units (out of 870) to bring up the rest to a decent level of funding.  Incidentally, an AF recruiter comes to visit us maybe once a year.  Army National Guard recruiter I see almost weekly and he helps us out with supplies, gear, etc.   

But hey, we got billions $ for Afghanistan (still giving them $) and Ukraine but just peanuts for our own kids.

We "feel" like black SF ers should get 5 million a piece.   

For a city that never had slavery, this seems like quite a bit of money to hand out.   

Where will they get enough money to pay all of the black SF ers?  

This country will be better off when we stop separating Americans based on the color of their skin.  Have we not learned anything from slavery?  

I hope SF continues to fail.  They need to realize how stupid their ideas are.  

Edit: If the SF ers really want to show how sorry they are for everything this country has done, they should all pack up and leave.  Afterall, they're all living on stolen land.

This lady didn't even marry a black dude and she's complaining about there not being enough black teachers at her son's school.   She moved to a white neighborhood and complained about there not being enough black teachers?   Is this bitch serious?

Hersey's used a transgender activist to promote international women's day!

WTF?!?

It's about time. Men have spent thousands of years being told how hard it is to be a woman. Now we've only been doing it for a few years and we're already winning awards. Truly inspirational!

Took a few years, but the patriarchy finally found a way to beat those feminists.

I don't think "he" knows what genocide means.

Also, I better not see any of you non Irish Catholics celebrating St Patty's Day.  I'm tired of all of the cultural appropriation.

He def doesn’t, but then again he has serious mental/psychological issues that just might be clouding his thinking.

The Daily Wire responds to Hershey going woke by introducing their own chocolate bar.  The She Her bar is chocolate and the He Him bar is also chocolate but has nuts.  The video is pretty darn funny.

Classic article attributed to Hanoi Jane? I’m doubtful she penned it, but it might be the only time I’ve even partially agreed with anything she’s said or written. I guess even Hollywood elites have their hot buttons (DEI and bad chocolate).

“Hershey, You Owe Us an Apology

Jane Fonda
March 2, 2023

I know I’m being highly presumptuous in speaking for the women of the world, but I’m old and I can handle the heat. Shame on you Hershey for slapping half of the worlds population in the face with your latest HerShe campaign. Your misguided decision to highlight a man posing as a woman as your symbol of female empowerment on National Woman’s day is offensive to all of us. With approximately 3.5 billion real women roaming this earth, you decided as a company that Herman Munster in drag best represents the incredible strength, empathy, brilliance, grace, and beauty of us women. 

In all fairness, I’m guessing that 3 or 4 of your recent DEI hires got together and with their academically rigorous gender studies, women’s studies, queer studies, and/or lesbian dance theory majors (for accuracy’s sake I’m hoping they are Bachelor of Science rather than Bachelor of Arts degrees) decided that a man somehow makes a better woman than a true woman. Then, these seriously confused employees, convinced a group of seemingly rational and mentally stable executives into signing off on the insanity. I’m sure they convinced you of the value of the large green check-mark the company would earn on the annual DEI scorecard.

The only positive thing this decision to champion a man as a symbol for woman’s empowerment did, was highlight how unnecessary and divisive the DEI influence on companies is. Truthfully, while it allows the aforementioned worthless degree holders to obtain a lucrative job inciting mistrust and division within companies, DEI makes no positive contribution to the workplace. The DEI label might sound good, but the execution results in decisions like this by otherwise intelligent executives. I’m still hoping you’ll do the right thing as a company and apologize to all of the women of the world for insulting us, but I won’t hold my breath.

My final advice for you as a company is to focus on making decent chocolate. Your time would be better spent buying Milka’s or UK Cadbury’s chocolate recipe instead of business as usual selling the brown paraffin wax bars you call chocolate. If you can’t obtain a good recipe, at least let Cadburys North America use the recipe from England so we can enjoy good chocolate on this side of the world.”

Continuation of DEI from airline thread. I thought this was timely.
