Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

That is, to the extent government is to blame that can perhaps be traced back to members of both political parties.
We went through 4 years of this nonsense already. The MSM is not going to give you an accurate story. I already read a story today that "Trump makes shocking joke at press conference!" However if watch the actual presser this is clearly not the case. Again I am telling you unless you see the press conference itself, you have no way to know what he actually said. So far 10 days in and we have to whoppers.
If you do not like Trump that is fine, he has plenty of policies you can choose but you should know every time you repeat an MSM news misinformation about him it just make the right want to support him more. There are enough people who have figured out that the MSM is full of it, and when you bring up some stupid headline, the right wing is just going do dismiss you utterly misinformed and they have a real point. It is up to you but this rage against Trump thing is not working, you are not converting anyone.

For example, this shows 22000 air traffic controllers at a mean annual wave of 137K or $3B in air controller pay, and argues 9M jobs or 1.8T in economic output related to aviation, i.e. only about 0.2% consists of actual money paid to air traffic controllers.

The policy of actively recruiting people with "severe" disabilities has also existed for more than a decade.
The list of disabilities mentioned in the January 2024 Fox News article and read by Trump on Thursday includes "hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism."

The Obama administration forces the Federal Aviation Administration to move away from merit-based hiring criteria.
When a plane starts its final descent, are the passengers more concerned about the competence or about the skin color of the air-traffic controllers on the ground who will help the pilot land safely? The answer may be obvious to readers, if not to the Obama administration.
Nope, read the news stories. Also look up the class action lawsuit involving highly qualified ATC applications. There are plenty of qualified people for these jobs but it is about enforcing diversity
I was pointing out that going forward it would make sense to have more air traffic controllers, and improve their pay and working conditions. This would hold true regardless of what happened in the past, regardless of what caused the DC accident, and also regardless of any diversity or lack thereof.
they are afraid it will make the white race too diverse (too brown).
The brown and black MAGAs make it hard to fight the white MAGAs.
Somehow the brown and black MAGAs that they are the target of white MAGA!

This is a standard talking point all over the usual MSM, Facebook, NPR and so on.
Everything you said is false and is easily checked if you looked at who voted for Trump in the last election. I take you have never interacted with a person of color, and your opinion comes right out a MSBC or your Facebook echo chamber. This is exactly why you lost, you are just totally out of touch. Before you respond look the demographics who voted for Trump and compare it to previous republicans.
What is so amazing is I assume you live in California, which has had a long standing hispanic population for since the beginning, you are now talking many multiple generations of people. What do you think they make of illegal immigration from Mexico and Central America? Think about that. Which groups do think hurt illegal immigration the most? I know you will say "I heard in NPR that it is white angry undedicated truck driving males" Ok let make this clear, they are lying or have no idea what they are talking about. MSM is not your friend, they have no interest in telling the truth.
If you want to win you need to drop this racial nonsense, it is much more complicated than your echo chamber talking point.
This is my opinion.
White MAGAs hate DEI because it threatens the whiteness and exclusivity of
white America. What amazes me are the brown and black MAGAs who support that. Racism is not new in this country. It has toned down in the 60s. Thanks to the civil rights movement. It has reared it ugly head with the MAGA cult leader in 2016. It is now worse . Denying racism is ignoring our history.
The MAGA hangover will be very severe! Go ahead continue believing your criminal ,lying and mentally ill MAGA leader!

This is similar to adaptation to altitude, for example in Tibetans and certain South American peoples who live at high altitude. Over thousands of years traits have been selected for which are advantageous to that environment:

This has got to be troll, there is no way this is real.
