From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

Fantasy liberal trope. Get over yourself.
Hate in Los Alamos
From the LANL Monitor

At the end, some of the demonstrators joined one of the creators of a banner placed over the Diamond Drive crosswalk reading “Black Lives Matter.” Shortly after it was placed there about a week ago, someone changed it to “All Lives Matter.”
“Unfortunately, it was changed again this morning to “All Lives Matter,” Isaiah Espinosa said.
I am deeply saddened know know that there are people at LANL who think "All lives Matter".

We are going to be entering a world where sarcasm is going to be a very dangerous thing, you could be canceled, fired, censored or even injured. I say we should just jump to Pol Pot methods and get it over with. In any case HBO just banned Gone with the Wind. Fortunately I know that youtube will never ban certain rap songs. By the way the American Physical Society has declared a strike today for everyone to consider various aspects of racism and police interactions with certain minatory groups. People are trying to figure out what to do today. I suggest they just listens to voices of the oppressed. I found a few good songs that cover the subtle, complex and systematic racism with police interactions can be found below by such voices of the unheard like N.W.A and Bodycount. Enjoy
