Free speech is rooted in the founding idea that you can speak or print your opinion about a government without a government’s reprisal.

Like most rights, these are codified and then matured or refined over time in the form of amendments.

I would very much like to change the name of the 14th amendment for all that it matters, since it now protects corporate personhood over individuals, but I digress.

Free speech is, again like other rights, not to be enshrined where it would allow you to do harm to others. You have the right to preach in an airport or say the government is hiding aliens or that the president is a shit bird. You do not have the right to cause a panic by screaming fire or bomb, as this had the very real harm to other’s safety in crowded public places. You can’t scream fire in a theater, for the same reason.

The most simple way to put this is that your rights end at your nose, not other people’s noses.

You can’t harm other’s freedom to operate unmolested, and where we draw that line is the foundation of English law.

No, it wouldn’t.

Jesus Christ has no one taken a civics class or studied how your government works?

Free speech limitations are clearly set with multiple case precedent. You would be arrested, convicted, and banned from ever flying. Full stop.

There was the girl with cancer getting treatment in the US who was deported a couple weeks ago. She is a US citizen.

Her parents declared they were not, but were taking her over the border through a checkpoint to see her oncologist. As they have done 4 times prior without issue.

They were arrested and deported all.

Talk about jumping 4 steps down the road.

They are uniformed. No global convention or agreement mandates those elements be on a uniform. The nametag, unit patch, and other items on the uniform are just ways that force happens to enhance identification within the unit.

They are identified as uniformed members of a military force. This satisfies the convention.

None of this matters or applies at all given that there is no combat occurring that would fall under the Geneva convention. So they could be plain clothes officers and it wouldn’t apply.

Trump is a sack of dog turds, and what he is doing is largely stupid speed run overreach, but this hyperbolic shit just harms credibility of the already massive list of shit he is violating.

Correction: Chlorine doesn’t have a smell in the pool. “Pool smell” is the reaction produced when chlorine reacts with urea.

Yeah, you are smelling that smell because of pee.

To test it out for yourself, output an ass ton of chlorine in a bucket of water, fully dissolve it, and the smell it. No smell at all.

Now add a bit of pee.

Pool smell instantly.

I don’t think he would be advocating per warfare, but maybe he is kinky like that.

They wrote. It down.

It may prove to not end in consequences, but they took notes on a criminal conspiracy before the outcome and it’s part of evidence submitted in federal court.

Nothing burger is not nothing.

If your portfolio was a Fidelity target date fund, it would not be impacted by the local industry you mention in your post.

I also happen to know more about the details of how our retirement fund recommendations to clients works at Fidelity… because I worked there for the last 5 years.

You are showing the results of poor selection on your part.

Worked at a major company you would instantly know the name of.

They were a large corporation but were not public ally traded. Trillions of dollars in assets with more than 60k people employed.

DEI was a MAJOR push, with not just required corporate training but also sessions held often for minority groups of all types to speak their minds in forums about how to connect with them etc.

DEI initiatives and campaigns were a thing, VP of DEI was hired and they had a whole subsection under HR. Corporate events, entertainment, whole virtual bands playing to the theme of inclusion.

This same company did nothing when facing the burning obvious culture of being yes men to their bosses. They did nothing different than most any other massive rich company for how they treated workers, tracking their activity, location, and even physical assess login to buildings for reviews or as excuse to fire.

In an large address by a major leader in the organization I personally gave virtual written innocuous feedback, that they asked for, only to have that be met within minutes with being told never to do that again. The message wasn’t even seen by the speaker. It was just purely culturally unacceptable to offer any constructive criticism of any kind to people in high enough authority.

More than half a dozen people messaged me to tell me they appreciated I gave it public ally and it needed saying. I didn’t know any of them.

So if people are so important and we value voices being heard equally so much, why would you have people desperate to be treated like people and any such statement be met with greats of reprisal?

Yeah. DEI is fan fare in the same way the office cafeteria and gym were. They are designed to entice talent to come or stay while costing the company minimal amounts to do so.
