Curling on a Houston highway with trucks

(Sorry. It's a Twitter video. Couldn't find it any where else.)

This may be a very controversial thing to say but about DEI...

The number of White people is on the decline in the U.S. "In 2016, more non-Hispanic whites died than were born in twenty-six states; more than at any time in U.S. history." White Deaths Exceed Births in a Majority of U.S. States https://apl.wisc.edu/data-briefs/natural-decrease-18

If there are going to be fewer White people in the future, doesn't it make sense for schools, corporations, and other institutions to prepare itself for a more diverse population? I understand the quality over identity argument, but quality standards vary widely. And it's insulting to say that every non-White applicant is inferior to every White applicant.

Regardless, in the future, the number of White applicants to anything will decline. So, doesn't it make sense to prepare your business for a diverse workforce?

Ron DeSantis is soooooooooooooooo 2022.

Dude fell out of style faster than a 1970s polyester leisure suit with a white belt and shoes.

A year and 10 days from now, Trump could be sworn in as POTUS

If that were to happen, I will check out. I will disconnect from traditional and social media. I will just focus on my studies and watch Netflix. No more news. No more DU. I will be done. The very thought of four more years of that stupid asshole and his asshole followers is just too damn much for me to bear.

No one should have more than $25 million of net worth.

Anything over $25 million should be taxed away and reinvested into the American physical and human infrastructure. $25 million is more than enough to feed, house, and transport yourself for life as well as leave a tidy sum for your children which should also be capped at $5 million.

Anyone here live in Pittsburgh, PA?

I'm considering moving there. The rents are really cheap.
(On edit: Comparatively cheap. Much cheaper than Charleston, SC)

Why do small towns in Maine scare me?

Maybe bc Stephen Kings lives in Maine. I don't know. I came across this video about a small town in Maine. It looks lovely. Quiet. It looks like the kind of town that stones people because of some ritual to appease a weird God or something. Also, when he drove there, there was no other traffic on the interstate. That would freak me out as well.
