Ah, the Nth confirmation (where N is a large number) that liberals/progressives/idiots (all the same) turn everything they touch to Obamastuff.

EVERYTHING.

Leftism is evil.

It is predicated on irrationality, falsehood, immorality, and hatred.

The sole end of leftism is to destroy everything that God loves.

The goal of the left is to turn everything political. And destroy it in the process.

I may offend some by saying this, but I’ve long said that this world would be better off without two particular professions: social workers and human resources managers.

Oddly enough, the only HR manager I ever knew who was actually a useful and valuable asset to the company was a former social worker who started working in HR because it paid better. She was a great HR manager because she tolerated no bullsh!t and could spot a “problem employee” from miles away.

“I may offend some by saying this, but I’ve long said that this world would be better off without two particular professions: social workers and human resources managers.”

I certainly agree with the latter.

Therapist: and what do we do when we feel like this?

Me: text our ex’s saying we miss them

[Therapist sprays me with a squirt bottle]

Therapist: no

Me: ...um.......um....LINE

Stage Manager: IT DOESN’T DEFINE ME AS A PERSON

Me: It doesn’t define me as a person.

Therapist: You have to stop bringing Stage Managers to these sessions.

This one fits:

Therapist: “And what do we say when we feel like this?”

Me: “My illness is chronic but my tits are iconic”

Therapist: “No”

The profession was created and designed to support social engineering efforts, trying to use it to combat those efforts will get one ousted from the profession or charged with malpractice.

We build. They break.

That is exactly how I see the situation. No wiggle room.

The world has always had a tendency for worshipping golden calves.

Why is it so strong in America today? Because we support it through printing of money and massive debt, distributed by government.

This is why I’m glad I’m old and I will die before too much longer. I don’t fit in this inhumane world anymore.

I could write a similar article “Why I Am No Longer A Power Engineer.”

The utility industry was once run by engineers who built magnificent power plants. After graduating as a mechanical engineer, I got into the industry in the early 70s at the tail end of that era. The industry was slowly taken over by the ultra-green kooks who don’t know the difference between a BTU and a BLM.

Utility executives and managers kneeled before every ultra-green outfit around the world (this was way before kneeling became fashionable). The became committed to “defossilizing” the industry and, if you crossed them, your career was at an end. To get ahead professionally, you had to bow down before them, sing the praises of “renewables” and do penance for having once burned coal in your career.

After 25 years, I could no longer stand the non-stop politicization of the energy industry and got out.

I sure miss the USA where you could just have a career and do your job.
