Math professors at my alma mater were instructed to remove references to “inequalities” to increase their chances of getting funded. The <= and >= type of inequalities.
Meanwhile there was a period of time in Canada where to have a chance at funding from federally funded programs, regardless of how absurd or tenuous the relationship to the work, one had to prominently shoehorn “climate change” and “equity” into every grant proposal.
Even provinces and municipalities followed suit. Non-profit community org looking to install some signage and a trash receptacle at the start of a walking trail? Please explain in 300-500 words how this advances the causes of DEI. Studying the genome of a viral pathogen impacting raspberry farmers? Explain how the DNA extraction kits, centrifuge, hot water bath, and pipette tips you’re requesting funding for relate to challenges arising from our changing climate.
Humans are a stupid stupid stupid bunch!
These people who work for this administration are all so grossly and maliciously incompetent.
It is just the pendulum swinging all the way to the other side, aka over-correction...
Over-correcting from too much competence? Can’t tell if that’s what you meant (presumably sarcastically) or if you mean over-correcting from too much previous attention to DEI…
Should be criminal.
Has there ever been an administration that wasn't tone deaf to the other side?
Do not “both sides” this level of corruption and incompetence.
The trump admin is a hive of scum and villainy worthy of a comic book universe, and Musk is inextricably linked. Thus anyone using twitter or grok or buying a Tesla or using starlink is complicit.
EDIT: or working for these companies!! Couldn’t pay me enough to do it.
"admin" is what we call a regime that works properly. This one doesn't, so it's a "regime".
This is what right-wing Twitter brain gets you.
That's just "Twitter brain" at this point, right? Hard to imagine anyone leftish still being there.
