Here's the truth: White Americans - white men especially - who didn't need to compete against a broad-based pool because of gender and racial discrimination; who have long enjoyed access to neighborhoods and networks, jobs, clubs, and governmnet programs that systematically excluded others: and who continue to enjoy the presumption of expertise even when they are far outside their depth - have long been the original beneficiaries of race and gender-based affirmative action in this country.

Screenshot of linked Picture from Robert Reich: "It seems that Donald Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the price of real estate. companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap an then enjoy the ride upward - no matter the cost to working people."

Screenshot of the FT-Article reading (TW): Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say that Trump's victory has emboldened those who chafed at "woke doctine" and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabeld people. "I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled... it's a new dawn."

ich bin heute in Reddit über diesen Kommentar gestoßen und der fasst es mMn gut zusammen.
Ein Screenshot von Reddit, in dem 2 Personen darüber sprechen, dass Amazon seine Inklusionsprojekte einstellt. Der erste Kommentar meint, dass Amazon & Meta und Bezos & Zuckerberg nie liberal waren und jetzt ihr „wahres“ ich rauslassen. Der zweite Kommentar antwortet darauf, dass die Entscheidungen nicht von Prinzipien / moralischen Ansichten geprägt sind, sondern dem was „der Markt“ bzw. die Öffentlichkeit will (bzw. von dem angenommen wird, dass es nützlich für das öffentliche Image ist).

when you come home drunk and barely manage to get through the door... 😆
a grey persian cat in a red post-operation-body suit lying just outside of its crate still groggy from anesthesia after an operation. she looks drunk. like black-out drunk. she moves like it as well.
