re: News Item: Two JetBlue Aircraft Collide On Boston Tarmac…

I wonder where our secretary of transportation, Mayor Buttplug, is…

No doubt he’s encouraging this DEI push as well

Based on data provided to the Foundation by several international airlines, the Foundation estimates that 27,000 ramp accidents and incidents — one per 1,000 departures — occur worldwide every year.
About 243,000 people are injured each year in these accidents and incidents; the injury rate is 9 per 1,000 departures.

DEI = DIE .. Leftist = Lunatics

I, along with many of my peers, are in a perpetual state of shock at how this cancerous program found its way into mainstream Academia. Private schools are not immune. On a personal level, I had the occasion recently to deal firsthand with a few DEI beneficiaries and I can tell you with great confidence it belongs in a Mel Brooks movie. It was breathtaking to witness the inefficiencies and indignation of these folks, their reasoning skills, information processing, and how they totally dismiss the precepts of "excellence".

I'm on a crusade to increase awareness of this insidious program and how it is undermining the quality of higher education.

These 2 guys (Jordan Peterson; Victor Davis Hanson) put DEI and it's blood-brother, tribalism, under the microscope and give an analytical view into how it came to be and the damage it's already done. The video was done over a year ago, and I think the pace of destruction has increased since then.

Please share and increase awareness. Don't assume your friends, neighbors, and children already know.

That is a troubling statistic.

And again, these incidents have increased markedly in the past decade or so.

The FAA itself reported that there was an 83% rise in runway incursions in the years between 2011 and 2017.

The question is why?

FAA responds to increased scrutiny on aviation safety…. ….

According to Federal Aviation Administration data, near-miss accidents where planes nearly hit each other have increased nearly 25% in the last decade, with about 300 such accidents in the most recent 12-month period for which reports are available.

Near misses in aviation are almost always the result of human error. Whether it’s a pilot flying or taxiing somewhere they’re not supposed to, or an air traffic controller clearing a plane to go somewhere that conflicts with another aircraft’s movement, these incidents don’t happen by themselves….

Since human error is the primary cause of such incidents, it seems very plausible to me that anything that distracts from the purported primary mission of the airline industry and the FAA — flying safely from point A to point B — is not only a needless distraction but potentially a deadly one.

Corporate and government mandated navel-gazing over “gender-neutral” language, quota hiring and other DEI nonsense are thus not simply extraneous to safety objectives but antithetical to that mission.

The Left are like hyenas — they eventually will turn upon and consume their own.

The paradoxes inherent to their world view are an ideological dead end.

The only question is how much death and destruction will ultimately result from their failed ideological pursuits.




Victor Davis Hanson The DEI Ruse Is Imploding….

….Has there ever been a sane nation in the world that preferred “diversity” to “unity”? The former Yugoslavia was certainly “diverse,” and it finally stressed its diversity to the point of unending death and destruction. Ditto Rwanda. So what exactly was the advantage of ditching the melting pot for the tribalist salad bowl?

DEI’s idea of “equity” shares the Marxist boilerplate of just two classes at war with each other. The middle class does not or should not exist as the proletariat of the many battle the few property-holding and despised bourgeoisie. But DEI takes that old, tired binary of oppressed/oppressor and victimized/victimizer and now substitutes race for class. Why?

Marxist binaries never worked in the United States. America’s dynamic economy, upward mobility, and class fluidity ensured too often that yesterday’s supposedly doomed proletarian peasant will be tomorrow’s bourgeois owner of a car wash and landscaping business. But substitute immutable race as the barometer of oppression and then you have a supposedly permanent victimized class, one freed from the problem of an absence of class oppression.

Presto, suddenly, any non-white, non-male, or non-heterosexual is by fiat a victim—regardless of running their $40 million “Antiracist” center, or raking in $100 million from capitalist corporations, or holding a Princeton full-professorship, or Harvard presidency. By virtue of their supposed non-white status, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, LeBron James, and Oprah Winfrey will never have privilege, even though they have more of it —vmoney, comfort, influence, and followings — than almost anyone in America.

In the end, DEI will implode because of its many contradictions: it is racist to the core; it destroys meritocracy; and it is utterly incoherent in adjudicating who and who not deserve racial preferences….
