Won't you please join me? Now I am more inclined than ever to call it the "Chinese V***s." When we let the l*****ts indoctrinators control language, they will try harder to control everything. However, I don't see what the problem is. Aren't the colleges closed down? San Diego State made students move out of their dorms last week. What are other schools doing? Sheltering in place?

Major Universities Ban The Use Of This Phrase For C****-** V***s…Seriously?

Does it get any dumber than this?

Diversity officials for the University of California system, wh**ever those are, have banned students and faculty from using the word “Chinese v***s” to describe a v***s from China that is currently ravaging the globe.

A statement from the Council of Chief Diversity Officers instructs everyone in the system to “reject r****m, sexism, xenophobia and all h**eful or intolerant speech, both in person and online.”

“Be an ‘up-stander,’ and discourage others from engaging in such behavior,” they declare.

“Do not use terms such as ‘Chinese v***s’ or other terms which cast either intentional or unintentional projections of hatred toward Asian communities,” the statement reads.

Also, they declare, “Do not allow the use of these terms by others.”

“Allow”?? What does this even mean, are you suppose to conducts a citizens campus arrest if someone notes the origin of the C****-** v***s?

They also make some helpful suggestions, like to “be inclusive and remember that everyone has different circumstances.”

The statement also comes with helpful instructions for conducting classes online to accommodate the meeting of health guidelines, but recommends not to criticize students for “casual attire.”

“Remember that people may be operating without resources and access to man material items and services,” the document notes.

The Daily Wire accused the university system of “bowing to current political correctness.”

The document goes as far as to spoon-feed people what they should say instead of “Chinese v***s,” instructing them instead to “refer to the v***s as either ‘C****-**’ or ‘c****av***s’ in both oral and written communications.”

Included in the statement is a Joint Statement from the Vice Chancellor – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the Interim Vice Chancellor – Student Affairs at UC Davis titled “Rejecting C****av***s Xenophobia.” (Can you believe that’s a job??)

This statement reads: “A core of our mission at UC Davis Health is, of course, to advance health. Yet, health, privilege and bias are often intertwined. In recent weeks, we have seen an example of this in the alarming rise in bigotry and xenophobia against Asian communities. For many Asians, the r****m is not new, but it has been emboldened as Asians are scapegoated for the c****av***s epidemic. This is doubly painful as Chinese communities also bear the weight of most of the lives lost.”

As the Daily Wire reported, Jerry Kang, the vice chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at UCLA, said: “you can see why I’m concerned about the use of another name, ‘W***n v***s,’ which reflects both intellectual laziness and stereotyping.”

“It’s lazy in the sense that there are more precise names for the novel c****av***s, SARS-CoV-2, and the disease that it causes, C****-**. We’re smart enough to learn the proper nomenclature,” he said.

WND notes:

WND reported last week two members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission had issued a rebuttal to their panel’s majority statement warning of “growing anti-Asian r****m and xenophobia” in response to the c****av***s outbreak.

Commission members Peter Kirsanow and Gail Her**t, who regularly dissent with their colleagues’ positions, said they certainly agree that C****-** “is no excuse for anyone to attack or insult individuals of Asian descent and that when such acts rise to the level of criminal behavior, law enforcement should immediately intervene.”

“But that’s obvious to just about everyone in America,” they said. “The rare exception is unlikely to read the Commission’s statement, much less be persuaded by it.”

Kirsanow and Her**t challenge the panel’s claim that the relatively small number of incidents cited — mostly involving misbehavor by children and teenagers — indicates there is wave of racially motivated attacks.

Appreciate your kind words.
It would be pointless to search areas of disagreement when the conversation is in greater agreement.
Been a lot of years since I measured the fence post.lol
I'm confident that Ford, Tesla or GM would mostly be a final assembly point. Timing will greatly depend on vendors parts and supply.
I suspect there are many existing parts that would only need to be modified intended for very different functions. As complex as the newer vehicles computers are, it wouldn't suprise me if one could be programmed and modified. As to the rest of the parts I can only hope and cheerlead that they pull off a miracle in short time.
Remember the LA earthquake that damaged several over passes and the main artery of travel? If memory serves it was in 1994 Ridgecrest region (I was still learning how to forecast earthquakes) and if memory serves, there was approximately 20+/- miles of severely damaged highway (Sana Monica highway and four other highways. We know how many years we have watched this distance of highway taken for full repair. Some smart leader offered a bonus $200,000 a day for each day ahead of signed schedule to the contractor having the fastest completion bid, while keeping the project to state and federal standards.
Again my memory is a bit foggy, but start to finish was less than a third of any normal time frame and the contractor walked away with millions in bonus.
Which ever manufacture ends up leading the way will end up with hundreds of millions in bonus $$ a pretty powerful motivation when most manufacturing is grinding to a halt.

My friend, lets see were this goes

Actually, the States that agree with each other in a Contract do violate the Constitution:

Article 1 Section 10: "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

The Fed Courts will not do anything until the States act on the Contract and someone sues them for violating the Constitution...

President Donald Trump attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional Democrats on Tuesday for slipping pieces of the Green New Deal and other unrelated projects into the c****av***s relief package Republicans have been trying to pass in the Senate.

The bill was designed to support American workers and businesses facing tough economic times amid restrictive actions taken to slow the spread of the c****av***s.

Although Republicans have a majority in the Senate, Democrats developed leverage there after five GOP senators went into self-quarantine due to potential exposure to the c****av***s.

As a result, a bill that had been sailing along for swift approval suddenly changed course.

“Republicans had a deal until Nancy Pelosi rode into town from her extended vacation,” Trump tweeted. “The Democrats want the V***s to win?

“They are asking for things that have nothing to do with our great workers or companies. They want Open Borders & Green New Deal. Republicans shouldn’t agree!”

“This is not about the ridiculous Green New Deal. It is about putting our great workers and companies BACK TO WORK!” he said in another tweet.

“This will never be approved by me, or any other Republican!” the president said, referring to three key Democratic demands cited by National Review.

Those demands were summarized as new collective bargaining powers for unions, increased fuel emissions standards for airlines and increase solar and wind energy tax credits.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also upbraided Democrats for using the national emergency to slip in partisan proposals.

“Tax credits for solar energy and wind energy. Provisions to force employers to give special new treatment to Big Labor. And listen to this — new emissions standards for the airlines. Are you kidding me?” McConnell said.

Democrats were also being criticized for using the emergency as a chance to slip in $35 million to renovate the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

The House bill also includes $300 million for the National Endowment of the Arts and $300 million for the National Endowment of the Humanities, Fox News reported.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said Democrats were doing a disservice to the nation by politicking over the bill instead of passing it.

“We are in the midst of a crisis in our country, a crisis caused by the c****av***s,” she said. “I cannot believe that the answer to this crisis as we move to address the economic consequences that are so severe for the people of this country — that the answer from our friends on the other side of the aisle is delay, delay, delay. No sense of urgency, no hurry.”
