All companies expressing any political meta is pandering.

Any adherence to a political meta isn’t a testament of their values, it is a testament of their customers’ values.

Companies want the money of their customers’ and they will say or do anything they think will keep making them money.

If you think any company supports DEI or LGBTQ issues genuinely, I have a bridge to sell you.

Their primary customer base is Republicans, your picketing means nothing.

Drive down a highway in any area with a decent population and it will be right off the interstate.

California spends over $50k per homeless person per year.

How has homelessness only grown?

Because of double dipping and lack of oversight.

One homeless person goes and gets welfare from one place and then another day goes elsewhere. Both places claim them for a period even though they may only actually be going to one place a day.

If California actually wanted to end homelessness, they could, but then the NGOs and administrators couldn’t profit off homelessness.

California is performative in altruisms and they will never accomplish anything of value on progressive values if they can’t use it to give money to wealthy people.

Brandon probably won’t run for President ever. He is also a right-wing conservative with strong libertarian politics.

He isn’t afraid of gay people.

He is afraid of having to have the conversation with his grandkid about gay people having a baby due to the content of a kid’s movie.

Sort of like how a grandparent would be uncomfortable discussing procreation with their grandkid. Shit, parents are uncomfortable discussing that with their own kids and that is a far easier and more straightforward thing than discussing sperm donors.

He is scared that a kid’s movie will inspire questions that he is uncomfortable answering as a grandparent.

There is a round version, but it isn’t in production.

All I am saying is that Rosa Parks deserved a better award then.

Leaning into it is the right answer with South Park. It doesn’t matter if they feel offended privately, what matters is that they seem to not care.

They are going to hit Noem harder because she didn’t go along with it.

Probably some overlap with Homelander fans in that venn.

Meanwhile JD celebrates being made fun of on South Park and Kirk changed his Twitter profile pic to Cartman doing Kirk’s schtick.

Maybe Noem needs to chill the fuck out.

Anyone who would be so minded as to act in a way that undermines or is in direct opposition has certainly disqualified themselves on social media and in reputation.

They would need a clean or blatantly pro Trump social media profile and multiple people to vouch for them that are the same.

Even once they get in, they would still have to follow orders and they would be the one contributing to what they hate directly or they would be fired and/or imprisoned.

Seriously, the only way to get into a position to be able to do anything would have to decide to flip or being playing a long game that they only just recently found out about.

Were you interviewing for a federal law enforcement agency or a local? Were you going to receive secret clearance?

Things have changed all the same.

If you don’t use any other social media or haven’t posted anything disqualifying, then not telling them about your Lemmy account would help your odds.

The poly and/or reference interviews would not work out for you anyways.

Poly is standard for LEOs, secret clearance does include poly.

You need secret clearance, which means they will go through your social media and interview people you know, including prior employers and schools. There is also a polygraph.

Your post would be disqualifying.

If you wanted to infiltrate, you would have had to plan to do so for many years.

Now show furries in IT, it will have the most overlap with straight and then bi and trans will be the minority.

They gays aren’t really big into Warhammer, now the furries, they have all that disposable IT money to spend on some respectable units.

Do you know a lot of people making $150-200k a year?

I do. 3,500sqft+ home, $80-100k truck(too many with a pristine bed) and luxury SUV or 2x luxury SUV on lease, often a boat or camper, some with vacation property, most with maid service, lots of door dash and rideshare, 2-3 kids, 1-2 foreign vacations a year(usually Mexico with a Europe trip every 5 years), etc.

Income creep is a huge financial problem. If they lived like they made half that, they would be so much better off. They like to live their lives keeping up with the Joneses on Insta and it is dumb as fuck.

Luxury SUVs on lease are obviously a wise financial move.

Got to make sure to have 3 kids to make sure your finances are in order.
