well, the first days are the hardest days; don’t you worry anymore. ‘Cause when life seems like easy street, there is danger at the door.

BTW...re-watching the Richman version of "Puttin' on the Ritz"---and remember, "putting on the Ritz" means faking wealth and status---I notice that the black dancers and the white dancers are segregated, and that the black dancers, in the number's finale, are on the upper level, i.e., the balcony, of the set, or what would have been called "Enword Heaven" in those days.

Lots of very interesting elements there.

BTW, Harry Richman, the lead singer, was famously homosexual, from what I've heard.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Just to point out, we are free to use actual words here. Just saying.

Hey, I've been fighting with the College Wokies to merely get my Certificate of Compliance.   I still have to fight the bastards to get paid for the time I wasted in these "classes."

Cut me some slack.

It appears the indoctrination has had some effect. Fight the dark side, Buzz!

if it makes you feel any better, I received word of a mandatory “diversity and outreach workshop“ today from my employer.

So far, this BS hasn't gotten too far where I work. But it will, eventually; they're just Biden their time.

Here's a tip---don't believe them when they say "all opinions are welcome/valid."  They lie.  Keep your head down and your mouth shut, suffer through the crap, and get your Re-Education Certificate.

I couldn't do it, and I had problems.  Learn from my experience.

We are all Havel's greengrocer, it seems these days.

I'm actually looking into whether I can surreptitiously decline to take the thing entirely; at least purportedly, while everyone is "required" to take it, they are not tracking individually.  I don't know if that makes sense, or if I trust that promise, but it's an intriguing possibility.

I did my online a few weeks ago.

Skipped to the end of each video session.

Got 100% on each quiz at the end of the video.
