OK, I'll bite: how exactly "lack of diversity" in park workforce and visitors"threatens public health"? I can'f fucking figure out any logical path from one to the other.

I just did the Utah NP tour in August. There were more out of shape black, latino and in shape Asians than whites in Moab than I'd ever thought could happen. 90% of which weren't prepared for the heat. Diversity is pretty strong in the National Park system having been to Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Yellowstone and Tetons over the last two years.

Very simple to understand:

When they just keep backing you into a corner with retaliatory victimization, no matter if you try to yield and appease, then just FuckUm and hit 'em with a flamethrower.

Fuck being parasite food.

Now that they've removed black faces from products like aunt jemimah and uncle bens, they will complain about the "racist lack of products which feature a black person".

So what's the next step for them? Go full Muslim and demand that no human face be ever put on any product?

Here's the shit Michelle Obama agitates. If they pull this shit on me, 10 of their cousins will get killed at the drive by shooting at their funeral.
It's just something they do. Shoot up funerals. I don't know why it's a Michelle Obama thing.

Don't you understand what happens with this? You're "aw, whites and Asians are facing discrimination with this!!" Well, it's actually the opposite.

A bunch of unqualified kids go to MIT or Berkeley or whatever, they do crappy or drop out. A bunch of overqualified kids go to lesser schools, and they excel - then they do their masters and PhDs at MIT or Berkeley or whatever.

Affirmative action based on quotas don't work. Do you think people implementing these programs are stupid? No, they are protecting themselves, and their progeny. They are purposely hurting minorities and holding them back.

Pffff, if we admit them by melanin who says we can't let them graduate based on melanin? It's already done with HS in CA: you'll get your HS diploma no matter how crappy you do in school because reparations.

Eric Holder says

Pffff, if we admit them by melanin who says we can't let them graduate based on melanin? It's already done with HS in CA: you'll get your HS diploma no matter how crappy you do in school because reparations.

The result is that people who are perceived to have been socially promoted are confined to entry level jobs to fill a quota. Basically a black candidate won't want to have a degree from such a school when entering the work force.

This doesn't help smart, "minority", students.

This is well known. Again, the people implementing these policies are doing it intentionally to harm the people they are claiming to help. I feel badly for the victims of it, but that's the result.

I think for college admissions and interviews, that you should be using a randomized number in earlier interviews, and not even see the interviewer. Professors shouldn't even know who submitted a paper but I know it will never be a meritocracy. It's easy to fix a lot of these problems, but the reality is they don't want to fix actual racism and disparities.

For a bank loan, why do you even have to let the people know you're black, or Asian, or Jewish, or white? Submit your forms and wait for a response. They shouldn't even be able to identify you.

So what? There are plenty of government positions to be filled. And who's to say they have to stay at entry level? Affirmative action works for promotions just as good.

The people implementing these policies are making this claim.

I didn't say it was the goal, it's not.

Some fools might think that's the goal. I'm saying people that are promoting these policies know they are lying. The Democratic party really has become what it used to be back in 1920.

Government will collapse soon enough. I explained it here:

I've explained it numerous times. Figure we have 10 years left, maximum. Could be as little as tomorrow though.

Nothing matters at this point. There's no way to fix the system - the only thing that can be done is have somebody competent handling bankruptcy when the US finally has to admit it. Trump is the best person to be in office as the US goes through a complete economic reset. If somehow this is avoided for another 4 years and we have President, I dunno, Pelosi/Adam Schiff/Hunter Biden - whatever, start thinking about becoming an expatriot.

TPB,

I wonder how many people know the other name for Brazil nuts?

My black friend knew the name. I had a can of mixed nuts, and I handed one to him and said "N-n-n Mixed Nut Tim?!"

He said "Oh you was going to say "nigger toe nut" weren't you?"

I have a friend that lives in Oakland. He was giving me a ride in his car home after I bought a few beers from work (for both of us, but I drink more) - and he had a baseball bat in his front passenger seat.

"Why do you have an aluminum baseball bat in your car?" I asked.

"Oh, that's just my NBG. I've never had to use it though."

A second later I burst out laughing. He's said everybody that's rode with him gets it eventually.

I did undergrad at a crank-em-out pre-med school. UTSA. Tutored a LOT of my classmates who were getting low grades. My Tex-Mex peers were okay with that. They told me they'd get in with a C-level grade because they were Hispanic. They were correct.

Fortunately one failed, ended up at a tiny local biotech the year before I graduated. When I did he threw me a rope and the rest is history.

"Oh, that's just my NBG. I've never had to use it though."

Definition please. Urban Dictionary did not seem to have NBG.

I suspect the "BG" in NBG is "Be-Gone" The "N" is what you think it is.

You explained that the national debt doubles in 8 years. But you didn't explain how the GDP roughly does as well.

“How did you go bankrupt?"
Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

• Population keeps growing exponentially, but the land and natural resources aren't increasing at all.
• The percentage amount borrowed increases relative to the percentage amount collected in taxes.
• Actually, the debt seems to be rising a bit faster than inflation, contrary to TT's statement that I quoted.
• Two words: Unfunded liabilities.
• Really bad demographics that go hand-in-hand with the unfunded liabilities.
• Consumption of one-time resources such as coal, oil, aquifers (that take 100 years to fill), and mined materials used to make fertilizer needed to boost food production

Any way you slice it, I think, as a species, we are consuming way beyond the earth's renewable rate.
