I haven’t kept up on which companies have gone out of business because they’ve been too woke, but I don’t doubt there are some, esp if their clientele is predominantly people who oppose wokeism.

But I agree, IMHO, I feel like most Americans have more or less lost their right to freely express themselves. Again, that’s not because the government is going to throw us in jail for our speech. But it’s because corporations have the power to remove our livelihood if we step out of line. I personally think the power of corporations to squelch our free speech is has gone too far. But there are counterpoints to that argument as I’ve tried to address in previous posts.

Getting back to the original article, seems like the truth can easily be determined through statistical analysis.

Does a gender/race based hiring practice exist that effects safety? It’s easy to determine the percentages of “protected classes” in previous incidents and accidents and then determine if that number is statistically different than “non protected” groups.

Publishing that potential reality is a totally different ballgame.

And then, what to do about it? Perhaps people think it’s acceptable there is an increased chance of trauma and death in the name of gender and race based diversity?

Crime statistics are available that are similar to this discussion. Gender/culture/race play such a significant roll in the frequency of many crimes in this country — from what I can see the data is suppressed as much as possible. From a cultural standpoint, denying reality seems acceptable and celebrated so a political agenda can be furthered.

This isn’t about the Epoch Times. Most news sources simply won’t touch this topic. Most employees won’t address these issues — because frankly it is just too risky.

Even when safety and lives are at risk, it’s just too scary to talk about these things. Talk about perversion.

I usually just ignore my non-pilot coworkers. My noise canceling earphones are in my ears in any van ride. I do not help people on the job or treat people with empathy, because I am not in control of how my actions are perceived.

Currently, what determines my future employment is how others perceive my actions. Since I am not in control of the psychology of others, and my airline employees a lot of emotionally damaged people, the safest course of action is simply to avoid all non-necessary contact.

Save the door holdings and chivalry for when I’m not at work.

Wow. At least we finally have somebody who's come out and said that it's the genders/cultures/races that are dangerous, rather than alleging that to increase hiring of minorities, standards may be reduced.

Your airline employs at least one, for certain

Amen. So sad that we have to be this way as it’s totally against my nature but those are the cold, hard realities of working at SWA present day.

I spent five days on vacation with one of our reps several months ago. He discussed the current climate and it’s appalling. Those of you that think we’re not under attack have your head in the sand.

I love the visual. I’m shocked that the FBI statistics wouldn’t include the percentage of the population for each category so the numbers would tell the whole story.
Shocked, I tell you.

Yeah….. gotta watch out for those Buddhists doing yoga, whom are ostracized and targeted by the CCP.

Islam is not a religious cult?
