DEI is dead.
Because inferiors were given positions with responsibilities that did not suit them.
Caught in a trap.

George - what happens to the calcium bits that get dislodged? Filtered in the kidneys? Any risk of large pieces doing damage either at the kidney or along the way?
In the case of arterial disease, the embolization of calcium is insignificant in obstruction of blood flow, according to the folks that are promoting this. The "pieces" are small enough to not be of concern.
In the case of urologic ESWL, there are standards for how things should be handled. If a stone is >2 cm in size, a ureteral stent (a tube that goes from renal pelvis to bladder) should be inserted to allow fragments of the stone to pass down the ureter while urine flow is unobstructed due to the stent.
Tsar Vladimir could have awarded or marketed Putin Bibles but instead chose initialed crosses so not to appear a copycat of the banal. As a Russian he had to make it ostentatious yet solemn. He knew very well that macho Russian men covet gaudy bling. Especially when the bling can be linked to some sort of superstitious cult.
Maybe Ms. Washington was just following policy, written or unwritten.
Regardless, the allegations are true and apparently, systemic. Of course, while these disaster victims are American citizens, they are Tier 2 citizens, being MAGATs and living in a red state.
