Not making this up.  What’s amazing is not the infantile (and likely illegal) directive; it’s the fact that this guy Maloney, actually convinced people to hire him.

The logical thing is to take this to the next step and announce publicly that customers not conforming to his worldview politically,  on global warming or on boxers versus briefs should take their business elsewhere.  Wouldn’t want to sully their financial coffers with money from haters and racists.

Actually, much of the hate and violent speech utterances he claims to abhor should cause him to exclude any rappers and sailors, famously known for non decorous language.  In fact, German and Japanese speakers should be ostracized as well, since, well you know, the wars, 60 years ago.

This genius is likely the product of a modern liberal education which is 50% fluff and 75% made up stuff.  He likely has an undergraduate degree from the Romper Room school of business where hugs and naps are 3rd year courses and Holding Your Breath Until You Get Your Way are electives.  Today’s liberal colleges ( an oxymoron?) are the source of the snowflakes that eventually find their way to society at large.  Free thinking and love are prized at these schools, as long as you agree with them; or else you’re a hater.  The peacenik Che Guevera is still a hero to many of the peace/love set.

The Trump election has broken the crumbling dam holding back the sea of idiots and nutters that see themselves as the righteous and principled.   They caricature themselves with their faux piety and condescending superiority towards those that dare to have divergent worldviews.  It’s an eerie coincidence that they view themselves as the ones representing peace and tolerance….sound familiar? No, not Islamist militants; much worse than that.  They proudly refer to themselves as  liberals and progressives.  Often, these zealots can be found in the usual professions in which fantasy plays a big part: entertainment, journalism, college professors and students and of course politicians.   They are not usually found in business which requires common sense and judgement.

I’ve never even heard of this company, Grub Hub, or this Maloney guy before, but I can’t imagine that it would be a barrel of laughs to work there.  If the staff find it too stifling, they can always work for Kim Jong Un.  If the company doesn’t work out, he’ll probably have to go back to living in the safe spaces of his mom’s basement.

 

Elections Matter

drain-600-ciFrom the hysterical headlines pouring forth from the major media outlets after the Trump electoral victory you’d think that the people voted for someone who drowned kittens for amusement. Here’s a sample of the hysteria:

American Muslims react:

Celebs move:

Lady Gaga, Miley:

Science at risk:

Earth to stop spinning:

Ok, I made up the last one, but the chorus of moaning, bleating  and wailing is deliciously comical and familiar if you’ve ever been around kindergartners, except that this is happening with supposedly grown adults.  Recall that 8 years ago, a person was ushered into office with little to no political experience, certainly no useful business experience, whose orotund promises of halting the oceans’ rise and unifying the races was met with nary a blink  among rational people.

Contrast this to the new President elect who, while also lacking in political experience has actually achieved substantial success in life, contributing and participating in the classic American dream.  Protests against the Trump election are actually protests against their fellow Americans.  This wasn’t a result imposed by royal fiat; they are protesting the judgement of their fellow neighbors. We don’t recall crying and protests in the streets and campuses in 2008.  It’s the old cliché that it all depends on whose ox is being gored.

There’s a TV ad in which people drive around in a car shaped like a dog, depicting the degree to which people can become “smell blind”. Lost among the dire bleats of the snowflakes is the underlying reality that a large segment of the populace figured out that the place stunk.  That large segment of the population are more concerned with legitimate employment, exploding debt and national security than with safe places and rude language.  As we’ve mentioned previously, it was about turfing people who were professional politicians…on both sides of the political aisle.  This election was as much about cleaning house as it was personalities.

As an example, the governor elect of Missouri is Eric Greitens, a political neophyte, but an ex-Navy Seal and businessman who ousted a politico with 22 years of political tenure.  Tammy Duckworth, a democrat and former soldier, ousted Mark Kirk, a Republican in Illinois.   And of course Trump, whose lifetime of business experience, bested Clinton with her lifetime of shuffling papers and rubber chicken dinners.  Political office was never intended to be a career vocation.  People didn’t so much vote for Trump as they voted against cronyism.

If the election of Trump followed 8 years of peace in the world, full employment, reduced debt, societal harmony and of course falling sea levels, we can see the angst of the snowflakes who fear that will all change.  In fact, it’s just the opposite.  The election result will not only put a halt to cronyism, it hopefully stops the spread of delusion.
