The superfluous word is what makes the sentence nonsense. Everyone knows the current definition of the word deadline to be something like: the time by which something must be finished or submitted. So when people hear Kamala saying "we should apply metrics that include deadlines around time." To them she's basically saying 'we should apply standards for measuring or assessing something that include finish times around time.' Which is a nonsense statement. i.e. Makes no sense.
Nonsense us quickly becoming the defining feature of modern left...and it's more than a little troubling.
I work for the federal government. We have a broad set of DEI policies...and trainings....but they're a joke. They're not taken seriously by anyone afaik and they're basically ignored...not followed. I guess I took it for granted this was the same thing for DEI across federal government and it's various departments and agencies. Apparently though....this isn't the case. It appears that a significant portion of agencies take this stuff quite seriously.
I'm sure you saw the head of the Secret Service....I'm sure you remember which agents on Trump's security detail stuck out as badly inept. The head of the Secret Service resigned so fast I can barely recall her face. Now NASA....who was praised not long ago for having this comprehensive DEI plan....has a pair of astronauts stuck in orbit. Elon Musk has to save them....you know, the white billionaire the left hates. They went up into space with the plan of taking a Boeing shuttle with known problems back down. This is serious....I'm not making this up....they decided to ignore the fact that this company has been building flying dumpster fires and killing people who speak up about it in court. It's almost as dumb a decision to let Trump start his speech after a suspicious individual with a range finder was spotted lurking.
I never really had big worries about DEI in the workplace. Enough lawsuits for civil rights violations and enough corporate failure would kill it in the workplace...and it's already started dying. Disney dropped failure after failure and did you see female executive in charge of the Bud Light campaign that destroyed them? Utter incompetence coupled with extreme narcissistic tendencies. Anyone still unsure of DEIs validity should understand it pretty well now that all it's thought leaders are proven fraudsters and con men. Robin D'Angelo? Fraud. Kendi's anti-racism? Scam. BLM? National con. Police shot and killed more people in 2023 than any year before for decades. Obviously they are doing a better job with less officers who have less training....so why didn't people march in the streets? Because they weren't being manipulated into believing in a fake problem.
I saw the NASA DEI training. It said "objectivity" is a concept of white supremacy. Seriously. The scientists were told to accept the entire foundational concept of the scientific methodology is "white supremacy". I guess it's a good thing an African is coming to save them.
I can only imagine what future generations will think when they learn the group of people who wanted to desperately be on the right side of history were sterilizing children, destroying education, creating a system of racial quotas....and pretending to be smart.
This hasn't been a good 4 years for DEI hires. Women who were placed in positions of power....after whining for so long that it was bias and bigotry preventing them from accessing these positions....are failing so badly. Claudine Gay, Harris, Tiffany Heynard, Fani Willis, Bud Light CEO, Disney CEO, Robin D'Angelo and woke prosecutor after woke prosecutor.
It's difficult to list them all. Yet they've all proven it's not bias preventing them from success. It's a total lack of self awareness, narcissism, and entitlement.
