Past The Point Of No Return

Honest, people, this is not a story from The Bee. It's on foxnews.com. It's from Oregon, so while it shocks the hell out of me, it doesn't surprise me.

'Megan Donecker, who formerly served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s DEI strategy officer, complained about the agency's management, criticizing her boss Mike Shaw for looking "beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job," OregonLive reported.'

How the hell did we get to a place in society where someone could be canned from his job because he hires based on merit rather than identity?

After seeing this, it almost makes me think that a catastrophic end-of-the-world event wouldn't be a bad idea; it would give Mother Nature a chance to cleanse herself of worthless pieces of crap like this and start over. Yeah, there'd be some unfortunate collateral damage, but when people like this idiot in Oregon wield this kind of power, maybe that's a price worth paying.

    Mankind needs more Elon Musks, and fewer DEI warriors.

      Libs have so little self-awareness that they fail to understand that the concept of DEI is itself racist.

      Diversity classifies everyone by groups based solely on--among other things--race. It ignores character, individuality, other things that make us what we are.

      Equity is essentially the guarantee of an equal outcome, rather than equal opportunity. If you and I are in the same job, we should get paid the same. No matter that you're willing to work the extra hours, put in the extra effort, go well above and beyond what's expected.

      And Inclusion is, by definition, exclusionary. At Christmas, they kick anything Christian out of schools and businesses and government offices, saying things like "we want to include everyone". But what they really mean is that they want to exclude Christians and include everyone else. It's much like Galt says in his speech. They don't want to win; they want you to lose. They don't want what you have; they just don't want you to have it.

      The whole concept of DEI should be illegal.

        I compare, at times, human cooperative endeavor to a steam locomotive, especially its Walschaertz Valve Gear and the actual driving gear in the drive train. Every gear or valve is important if the locomotive is to be motile, but some gears get more grease than others. Little gears could sink in the same amout of grease the big gears get!!

      I can understand why Elon Musk and Donald Trump are aligned. They are birds of a feather. There are a very few of them, far more that run their lives mostly rationally, and then in this society there are what looks like a majority who are just emotionally run with little reason. This is. why democracy doesnt work.

    Have you seen what happens when they take rats and give them EVERYTHING. They destroy it and devolve like we are witnessing here. Everything is just too easy.

    I spent years cleaning public bathrooms as a kid. It taught me a lot about people, but it taught me the value of leaving things BETTER than you find them. Restrooms are prone to getting disgusting pretty quickly all on their own.

    Yet, we would still get vandals throwing the TP rolls in the toilet, trying to make it overflow. At one point ,we had steel bars and padlocks to protect a roll of THIN PAPER.

    We need young kids to be doing REAL WORK. Lest they grow up to be what we see today!

      Reality is a great teacher. Dont till the land and you get NO food, period. Our society promotes too many fields that have little connection to reality- mostly desk jobs. No wonder kids get where they are today.

    I saw this article as well and know that I want NOTHING to do with Oregon, if this is how they handle business. It seems to me that this man should have received an atta-boy for doing his job correctly.

    This honestly makes me sick to think that this is what our world is coming to.

    Saw that myself looking at the person in the picture it would seem she never walked in a forest but maybe came out of the zoo to make her mark.

      The article gets snarky at the end with this: "The pink-haired, tattooed Salem resident..."
      Something else I thought was extremely relevant but completely glossed over by the Fox News writers: "She also reportedly claimed that six queer staffers didn't 'feel safe or comfortable' at work...". Six queer staffers? That sure as hell sounds like non-straight-white-conservtive-males would be hired if they were qualified for the job. Why wasn't that taken into account before this guy got suspended?

    I've spent the past several days in NYC, and NYers here really do feel the rest of the American people are crazy and don't deserve the rights that the Constitution guarantees. NYC should be deported, imo.

      One of their problems is that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution are in direct conflict with the lib/dem/prog attempt at micromanaging each of our lives.

        Indeed. And so sad. Many have been brainwashed and don't even understand the real meaning of words that define "freedom."
        NYC, the place that once was supposedly the center for open discussion and 'liberal' (aka freedom-loving) rational thought is now utter censorship with no varied opinion on anything.

    If I recall from reading an Isaac Asimov story decades ago that an advanced extraterrestrial species didn't want humans to get into space because of their aggressive nature, so the aliens turned a beam of energy at the earth that drove people nuts and they turned on each other and ended the endeavor to travel to other planets. Whether Asimov made a good call here or not is now irrelevant because it seems large swaths of the population are going nuts.

    I figure your call, rainman0720, that mother nature is getting ready to cull the herd is just as good as Asimov's. WTF is going on?!
