HERALD TIMES
— Equality is not enough to address the systemic issues in our society – Guy Loftman
(COMMENT: Ever-increasing, Democrats call for equality of outcome. For example, a) that the race and gender of those who start college is proportional to the race and gender of those who earn college degrees, b) that the race and gender of those who apply for jobs and promotions is proportional to the race and gender of those who are hired and promoted, and c) that the race and gender of those who take examinations for professional certifications and licenses is proportional to the race and gender of those who pass those examinations. According to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the following because I benefitted from systemic racism and systemic sexism: a) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48; job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48; and a job-related professional license when I was 32 and b) I got hired by the Post Office in 1966; I got hired by Firestone Stores in 1970; I got hired by IRS in 1971; I got promoted by IRS in 1972, 1973, and 1974; I got hired by GAO in 1980; and I got promoted by GAO in 1986.)

— How Managing Self-Worth Can Be Essential For Career Success – Anna Jankowska
(COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. Political affiliation discrimination in the federal government has always been rampant.

My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were furious when I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
