My mom is convinced that the Boeing airplane side panel blowout was because Boeing was focused on DEI. What the fuck

Na I'm pretty sure the Boeing issues are due to outsourcing and shifting blame to subcontractors.

Billionaires trying to control and deny societal evolution. It’s too late. Resistance is futile. History will repeat itself. Each civil right victory was hard won. White Christian Nationalists need to feel some real pain for once.
