Reflections From a Murky Pond

Unsurprisingly, Biden and Co. have again delayed issuing new federal regulations – first called for by President Trump – that would apply the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism to civil rights investigations, something lawmakers and advocates have long said would help protect Jewish students from anti-Semite discrimination and harassment in America’s universities.

So, it seems that Jewish students will have to stay in hiding, lest they face harassment, antisemitism, and endangerment of the collegiate careers and financial future – and, in some cases, face threats to their health and life.

It’s a sick thing that, under Biden and the Democrats, 2023 America is looking more and more like 1933 Germany.

This is actually one of the best and best worded definitions for Climate Change as a cause and/or movement that I’ve come across. It so aptly describes AGW as it’s been presented and all the “countermeasures” that have been implemented and/or proposed.

When you wish upon a death star… expect to fail spectacularly, which pretty much sums up what Disney did to the Star Wars franchise and what it did to itself as a whole with their commitment to turning against all the values that made Disney an American cultural fixture.

The Gender Inequality Myth perpetrated upon Americans is one of the most pernicious and factually inaccurate lies ever told to us, much less a lie so successfully promulgated. I’m sure Goebbels has a hard-on in his grave over it. 😉 The Feminists have, will, and won’t stop repeating the myth of “The Patriarchy” and claiming that they’re forced to the bottom of society. Yet, the truth is significantly different. The truth is that a very few men do occupy the top echelon, but the bottom echelons are also made up almost exclusively by men. Women are, for the most part, in just below the very peak to slightly below the middle of pyramid.

Now, in both fairness and a preference for factuality, this diagram is inherently inaccurate in that it’s scaling is in all likely off, and it doesn’t represent the complexities involved, i.e., there are no thin bands of pink in the blue and vice versa. This in an inherent flaw in such diagrams brought on by scaling – the blue at the top is most likely oversized for the sake of visibility – and decided upon lack of granularity for the sake of clarity as much as by bias and attempted manipulation. Also, there’s no indication available to determine how the various metrics were weighted.

It also is predicated, at least partially upon ephemerals and intangibles, e.g., power and quality of life. Once such unmeasurable and totally subjective inputs are added, the resulting values are flawed, especially since Feminists aren’t the most nuanced or discerning sorts, and their answers most likely skewed their results downward.

Overall though, the right side of the paired diagrams is a lot closer to the truth than the Gender Inequality Myth that Feminists keeping screeching about. But then, Feminism is a huge “industry” in America with a lot of people making their rent off of it, so this has to be expected.

Periodically we’ve been hearing about a movement to Return To the Office now that the panicdemic – if not to some people’s minds the pandemic itself – is over. For most of a year now we’ve been hearing about it and that is likely to increase in frequency, desperation, and stridency in 2023. But, quite frankly, I don’t see it happening for the most part or across many industries that actually moved to remote work due to COVID-19.

But, simply and statistically put, the majority of workers who can work remotely want to continue to do so forever. Hence, it’s not bloody likely that RTO will gain much traction in the foreseeable future.

I’m Not Even Going To Try Getting My Work Clothes Back

And besides, the wise amongst us have already repurposed our investmentwear – the clothes we purchased and maintained for fiduciary purposes – for other purposes that brought us better, more immediate, and more long-lasting benefits. 😉

I mean, honestly, I haven’t worm my old businesswear in years and I’m not going to try to get them back from my women at this point.
