    I can see it now.

    John White says "I really love my wife"
    White Karen says "Isn't she a white woman"
    John Replies "Why yes she is"
    Karen starts quivering and gesticulating: "That's white supremacy, only showing a preference for white women! I'm going to HR"

    “We make project management, team communication, and email software,” CEO Jason Fried wrote April 26. We don’t have to solve deep social problems, chime in publicly whenever the world requests our opinion on the major issues of the day, or get behind one movement or another with time or treasure. These are all important topics, but they’re not our topics at work.”

    I suddenly realized where this is coming from.

    Just imagine all these "Woke" employees fresh out of Lefty college. A prior experience where they had few requirements to actually learn anything, but left political activism was rampant.

    And now they want that same experience in the workplace........





    Imagine how much that cost their Parents!

    Should we start that rule here?
