I fixed a bunch of typos and grammatical errors in the first version. My bad.

Good thing I stopped drinking years ago, I can dump the rest of the Advil down the drain. I didn't know Pfizer owned it. Damn. Looking my my headaches will only be placated by drinking more water.

The DEI nonsense has infiltrated my brain to the extent that I am subconsciously thinking about it--or maybe 'in the back of my conscious mind' is more accurate.

I realized I have NEVER tried to join an organization that isn't exclusive. Every employer, every sports team I've tried out for--even 100% recreational sports like pickleball--they become miserable and untenable when we INCLUDE everyone.

My first job in the Army was as a tank driver. Combat arms. In 1989, this was 100% male. In fact, we were such savages that women were NOT ALLOWED IN OUR BUILDINGS. Girlfriends who showed up had to stay outside, or just inside the foyer while a kid on duty found the Soldier in question.

I changed career fields and worked military intelligence, which includes both men and women.

It is different. Better in some ways, but in some ways much much much less effective and more complicated.

Who ever coined 'diversity is our strength' never fought a war. And, where is the proof with that statement.

All of this equity BS raises bile in my stomach. Equity?

The best description of Equity is (IMHO) Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. Here is a link if you've never read it, or it has been a decade or more: https://archive.org/stream/HarrisonBergeron/Harrison%20Bergeron_djvu.txt

Thanks again Ben for giving me something to grind my teeth about all day.

Only the beginning,only just the start...

In Battle Creek, Michigan today, officials announced $16K grants to four local pot shops for " equity", including public outreach and equity education for BudTenders, part of a million dollar state cannabis equity program.

As China Joe would say, I'm not making this up, although in this case I really am not lying, this insanity is real...

semi off topic, yet meta on topic...

.

a very important point

i am still struggling to make

press not someone we anoint

a precept that’s hard to shake

.

this idea has been entrenched

by both custom and laws

i believe this makes no sense

you should see the fatal flaws

.

the press is not separate

they’re we the people’s proxy

not special protectorate

not enforced orthodoxy

.

any rights the press can claim

conferred to them in our stead

ALL citizens have the same

our reporting rights inbred

.

citizens are reporters

EVERYONE has press rights

we are all news recorders

with our public oversight

.

state wants their press credentials

to control who can report

narrative is essential

to maintain any support

.

should be no official press

dogma imposed by elites

its all our rights they suppress

in order to hide their cheats

.

ANYWHERE the press can go

people have that right as well

ANYTHING the press can know

something that we all can tell

.

press rights not superior

more than us average folk

motives are ulterior

to make the media woke

.

Who in the hell buys 'advil' the generic is 1/1000th the price, your paying for marketing;

The only time the black-brothers use 'advil' is when the call up other brothers to smash a Walgrens in the HOOD; Now most have closed, and I'm sure even in the ASIAN hoods shops in the hood, the non-prescription drugs are kept under lock & key

Maybe the bitch here is that the blacks are not allowed to steal as easy as before the BLM legalized theft of retail pharma;

Sounds like the Quacks at AMA have a newer term for 'technical mis-representation' ( that's what Harvard Law school calls "LYING" )

Why are MD's & PHD's on substack so pathetic??

I’m concerned that if I posted what I really thought after reading this that some unknown government agency will come in the middle of the night and break down my door and haul me off to some government shit hole jail.

Probably a lot of those sort of thoughts around at this point in the history of our republic.
