Activists on the left are very mad about my work dismantling wokeness and DEI in corporate America. They keep telling me to shut up and "center" Black voices so we compiled a video of Black creators reacting to my work.

Justice Alito asking if trans status is immutable is one of the greatest legal questions I've ever seen.

Civil Rights exist solely based upon immutable human traits.
Gender fluidity, by definition, is not immutable.
Pure brilliance by Alito today.

More:Quote:
Some observers told me they expected a 6-3 ruling, down ideological lines. Others thought that the sometimes libertarian-minded judges might shy away from regulating medical care to this extent. There will be no decision for many months and when it does come, it won't be definitive. Rather, it will affect how lower courts scrutinise the claim of sex discrimination. But it could have huge implications. If the court decides that transgender people are a protected class, it will be very hard to pass a ban on treatments for them, or any regulations which privilege biological sex over gender identity, in sports or elsewhere.
That's unlikely, as the court hasn't created a new protected class in many years, declining to define either the elderly or disabled people as such. But the justices could decide that the onus is on states to prove they're not discriminating based on sex, making it harder to uphold bans.
If all that sounds anticlimactic, then consider the other historic aspect of the day. It may be the first time the American media came face to face with the many feminist, lesbian, gay, and even trans adults in favour of banning paediatric gender medicine.
Quote:
These people were trying to draw attention away from the Left-Right framing that the American press applies to this story, and towards the fact that the vast majority of children with early-onset gender dysphoria grow out of those feelings by the end of puberty. They were revealing the feminist objection to men identifying as women and demanded entry to women's spaces and sports. They were showing the American public that there remains much of this story they haven't been told.
Whether the American media takes this opportunity to reassess the long-running narrative beyond the Left-Right framing that conservatives ban gender-affirming care because of bigotry and liberals support it because of kindness remains to be seen. Inside the courthouse press room, I asked journalists from Vanity Fair, NBC, and other liberal outlets if they'd seen the rally of lesbians, gays, and feminists in support of the ban. "Oh, the anti-trans rally, yes," they uniformly quipped. In taking this stance, they were every bit as closed off to other points of view as the justices had been.

Doctor friend once told me this - "We have forgotten how to die. Half the money that will be spent on healthcare in a lifetime will be spent in the last 6 months of it."
Somehow, we've got to address that. I don't like the above solution at all, but the conversation hasta start somewhere.

I remember my Dad's Aunt dying at 68 in 1969. Everyone saying she had a long life and at least she got to live her life. I am now 61, I am not sure I agree with them.

So yeah, seems like the costs being heavily skewed towards old age is how it should be, because when the average person is young, the body does all the work and needs little assistance. When you are old, that's when you need the help the most. Health insurance companies know this. They still manage to make their money. The US finds money for everything under the sun in taxes, so maybe let's look elsewhere before just flipping off our seniors.
"Just go ahead and die already", that really seems like nothing more than corporate propaganda. I assure you the ones benefiting from saving the country some money won't be doing the same for themselves.
