I'm 33 so maybe it didn't make it to my generation. I should've googled it first.

Like the FURRIES Act in Texas: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-lawmaker-proposes-bill-targeting-furries-measure-seeks-ban-non-human-behavior-schools Maybe USAID should have renamed themselves “US Against Infectious Disease” so people wouldn’t associate them with foreign aid. Dept. of Energy should have pivoted to Dept. of Nuclear Weapons. Didn’t work for Voice of America though, it had America right there in the title. Maybe they need to move their HQ to the Gulf of America.

If they had called it "fairness in hiring", they would have a tougher time attacking it. How would it sound to say you're against fairness? Similar (but different) with Antifa, which was shortening of anti-fascist. If they said we're in favor of fascism, it might not have played a well. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/21/2025 11:02 AM, Josh Luthman wrote: DEI has been a target for Trump + Republicans the last few months. They don't really know what it means, just that DEI is 100% to blame for every plane situation for the last few months.

Whatever the situation, if the mountains and the earth attached to them suddenly get very large, the plane doesn’t care who’s flying it, or used to be. Dirt matters.

The requirements to be a commercial pilot are the SAME for all races and genders. Stop parroting what the alt right is saying. There will be an investigation. They probably check for intoxication, enough sleep, distractions, etc. If they're both straight, white males, then what? What does Maga have to say about that? Mistakes, crime, whatever are bad no matter who the person is. Why does the right always bring race, sexuality, ethnicity, gender into everything? It's weird and cult like behavior.
