The clean up just doubled in time because every job needs to be color coordinated
A special DEI hire, with no experience in ports. What could possibly go wrong?
It doesn’t have to be a change policy. A change in competence is enough. Who do you think she hired?
Yeah, it’s like listening to Buddha judge talk about transportation in any manner what are his credentials?? I don’t wanna be fresh . What the dictation picked up as a misspell was bad enough on my part, you know the transportation secretary. Just like so many of the other appointees in Biden‘s cabinet they have no experience in what their job is about.
No thank you!
Yeah exactly. A whole lotta nuthin‘….
Yes, I wonder if she even spends one day a week in the office.
Marking that. I will read anything Crichton wrote.
Harvard Med grad who was writing novels in his spare time while there (?!). A true genius. I always appreciated his books which were just a little bit ahead of current science and tech yet still totally believable. And often ridiculed the current CW.
Let me emphasize, as someone who in his youth spent years in port operations, that the job of director of port is a damned difficult job and demands someone knowledgeable of all its aspects. From stevedores, to cranes, to pilots. It does not need a broad with long fingernails.
Yep! In the mold of Marilyn Moseby, Fani Willis, and Letitia James.
He’s my favorite author. I’ve read all his books.
I like other author’s books more, but I enjoy all of his.
Agreed.
Based on that photo, I’d say she never even bothered to visit the port. Ain’t nobody got time for that! Even the port commissioner!
They should use race to hire in all the most difficult jobs. Astronauts, Airline pilots, doctors, nurses, engineers, etc. etc. What could possibly go wrong?
All the menial jobs can go to white males at the lowest pay possible. Pay for white women will be based on their ideology and willingness to please their masters, er, bosses.
/s
In other words, she doesn’t know sh!t about the job. Sorta like a black, female Pete Butplg.
Isn’t that just so freakin’ special.
WHAT TIMING !!!!!!!!
