Silly me, i thought folks should be hired based on skill.
That other stuff didnt matter.

Worked for a couple of different big companies and watched how certain lesser performing, by group, were coddled from school to corporate.

Diversity is not a strength.

We have come to convince ourselves to accept mediocrity to justify what is not true — that diversity above all is always better. It’s probably just one aspect to the question, “why has so much in our culture and society seemed to have slipped to….mediocrity, or worse.


3 or 4 years ago Tucker did a show about Black air traffic controllers getting the selection process to stop looking at factors like being a pilot having math and science back grounds.... Diversity is our.... AAAAHHH (boom).

Most "professional media spokespersons" are more or less the same - don't seem capable of doing original thinking or serving as leader of anything much, but they can read from someone else's script and smoothly mouth the party/corporate lingo.

Once in a while, a really competent and sharp one will appear - they are obviously the anomaly and don't stay in the role very long - headed somewhere higher.

This one for Biden is particularly weak. Bad choice. That's OK. there are plenty of the "more or less the same" type in line.

She reminds me of a scene from "Moneyball". She's qualified in every way to play first base except for the fact that she doesn't know how to play first base, and, she's not Brad Pitt.....

She actually seems pretty representative of the administration. Not very smart, not competent, in over her head, and her position because of woke leftist ideology.
