[Jolly]

Personnel may attend private events on their own time, but there will be no officially sanctioned celebrations.

Good. There is only one identity that matters in the service.

I wonder how much was spent on all the trappings (flags, banners, posters, etc) for each of these celebrations.

There’s $4B of Elon’s savings right there.

I'm happy to see the DEI office alive and well at my company, sending more emails than any other corporate communicator. I figure remote work is safe as long as DEI is safe. They appear to be half-siblings politically.

Saw this and agree it's good.

Now let's get google to stop automatically inserting every identity holiday in my calendar. I can turn it off, but then real holidays don't show up either.

Is Lioness S2 E5 Pablo goes on a rant about the woke military, how it is a manifestation of how empires eventually turn their back on the institutions and values that made them strong, the work ethic They import foreigners to do the jobs the rich are no longer willing to do and, like Rome, that is the beginning of the decline, but that another empire will rise to take its place. Worth listening to.

Good. We’re all Americans. That’s it. The sooner we become a more homogenous society from an identity perspective, the better.
