First-time NJ home buyer? What today’s low inventory and high mortgage rates mean to you
As if being a first-time home buyer in New Jersey weren’t difficult enough, we can now add low market inventory and high mortgage rates into the mix.
As of this week, the current rates in New Jersey are 7.55% for a 30-year fixed mortgage, according to Bankrate. That’s just below the national average rate of 7.63%. This time last year, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 5.55%.
“Interest rates are staying up, so that’s making people maybe who thought about moving go, ‘Well, I know I can sell my house now, but I don’t want to pay seven and a half percent’ on a mortgage for my next home,” whereas “maybe I’m currently paying three or four percent on my mortgage” for my current home, said Jenn Vongas, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty in Morris County.
Because of this, New Jersey’s housing inventory has declined 23% over the past 12 months, with 11,404 new listings in July 2022 versus just 8,732 new listings in July 2023.
Between the limited inventory pushing housing prices up and those rising mortgage rates, first-time buyers are being further discouraged from entering the housing market.
“It’s not that there is no inventory, but it’s moving fast,” said Ghada Abbasi, a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Realty in Bergen County. “So we cannot catch up with the demand.”
Abbasi said first-time buyers are often getting beaten out by individuals with higher purchasing power. Offers made by these buyers are more frequently chosen over offers from first-time buyers simply because they are able to do things like make larger down payments and put in offers over the original asking price, as well as pay in cash.
“The demand is there for the premier buyer, I should say. The buyers who will meet the income requirements, who have the cash,” she said. “Whenever something comes up, they jump on it, overpay for it, and get it.”

Juice,
I am in the running for City National Bank which I was told was RBC in JD. Somehow did not know they bought CNB. No experience with Canada banks. Should I go for it? I think not. Not even joking. Jumping from proverbial frying pan to a possible hot poker in rear.
Bystander – Poker? You are too silly now. Honestly, they are all looking for experience, and they want a performer. Make sure you can deliver both. You are going for a regulated business, so they cannot fuck around, you already made the list so put on the salesman hat and get it done.. These kids have no idea who Glengarry Glen Ross
is.
Juice,
We’ll see. I don’t think it is time to head regional bank personally.
By.
There is no better position to be in than one where the company wants you more than you need them. Go for the jugular in renumeration. You’d be surprised at how negotiable companies are when they are in need. Of course once hired, don’t expect anything extra for a while.
Bysrander – now stop already. Nobody gives a shit, put your papers into every shop and get out the week of the severance announcement. This is the way, if you are luck it’s 2 weeks per year. Get your ass on the road now…
Folks please chime in…..
Lib – this is a special case of an European bank taking over another European bank.
Can you survive? Maybe…do you have value to a competitor? The ones that are interested most will pick your brain during the hiring process and discard you as they do not care unless you have an advocate that gave you a nod.
Look folks nothing has changed……experience? Ha bring your A Game, otherwise you are noise.

Rumored that Ukraine took out another supersonic bomber in the airfield attack yesterday.
You can’t believe any reports on the war that try to paint a picture of success. This war has been a disaster. Ukraine is dragging people off the streets conscripting them (this isn’t what happens when you are winning) immediately thrusting them to the front as cannon fodder.
Of course they should be sent to nj. They should send them to the bluest areas first. Let the wealthy and primarily while liberals who love open borders put their money where their mouth is.
They love virtue signaling and cheap domestic help but they offload the social cost to poor areas. Set up a hostel in Montclair and enroll all of the children in school.
The left has gone full Maoist. Parenting demanding ultimate authority over their child’s well-being is now a “far right” ideology. Their is a very obvious predatory element to the brew left and Phil Murphy and platkin are part of the vanguard.

This is fascinating. Watch this video, this man guts this woman like a fish. There’s not one thing she said that is cemented in reality. After watching this, I think the girl is a mental patient.

PCE ticking up higher.
Republicans should set an example rather than be hypocrites and demand that McConnell resign from his Senate Minority Leader role, perhaps demand that he retire from the Senate. In any case, replace him as Minority Leader where he’s been a terrible spokesman, even before freezing. Then they’d be much freer to attack the many decrepit Democratic politicians about their age.

But I hit one part, where she said she was raised to be gentile and kind, as if it is a problem.
Umm, yeah, you are supposed to be gentle and kind. Who wants a bunch of nutty Karens running around?
I’m so old I remember when markets had 3 rate CUTS priced in by now, apparently they forgot to price those back out though.
McConnel is no doubt in horrible shape. I tell everyone this. Once it starts, the decline is rapid. This is easily where Joe can be in a year.

RBG leading the way by dying at the job when she could have easily retired.
Chi,
Yes, winds in LBK peaked at about 40mph, so my house and neighborhood had no problems. The problem was that the winds were pushing the water level up just as there was already going to be an unusually high tide, so low lying areas flooded. Worst of all, the next island over at St. Armand’s Circle a big destination in the area full of restaurants and retail, looks like nearly all of those properties and streets flooded. Hope they are back in action by late October when I plan to be return. Looked like a lot of beach erosion in the area too, but nothing they aren’t used to fixing.
There are some streets in north LBK that flood every year from the “king tide” even without storms, so bad luck for them that the storm surge came on top of that.
Phoenix,
The way that the media and SNL kept on cheering on RBG to stay in office forever was annoying. One of many reasons I stopped watching SNL after 40 years.
Phoenix,
There were parts of that video where it was so lethal, it was stunning. She talks about inclusion while the narrator points out that she excluded groups of others. It was just a total take down, numerous ‘mic drop’ moments. It was all about her “pipeline to happiness” and nothing to do with brand success. I didn’t see her as a ‘Karen’ at all, what I witnessed was a person with mental and emotional immaturity.
Oh yeah. And not only that, while keeping it for themselves, and wanting more and more of it for themselves, you have vacuum sealed face Nikki Haley advocating that the age to collect is “way too low.”
Yeah, maybe for RBG, Mitchy, Skeletor Feinstein, and all of the rest of those old goats who haven’t worked a day in their lives.
Sure they can work forever, all they ever have to worry about is carpal tunnel and mad cow disease from all of the steak they eat while sitting at restaurants all day.

Phoenix,
It’s not funny when it became clear that SNL’s jokes only criticized political enemies and withheld satire from allies, turning it into propaganda, rarely funny if your politics are aligned with their enemies. Kind of like how the first few years of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart were funny, but eventually turned into a show only funny for leftists.
The Greg Gutfeld show on Fox now is similar, it’s targeted to a specific political audience, funny if you don’t like democrats, but they could make all sorts of biting humor targeting Trump, etc, but they don’t because they cater to their audience. 20 times the jokes about Biden being old than McConnell being old, though recently they pretty much had to make fun of him.
Gutfeld and some of his co-hosts don’t even love Trump, in their own hearts, some are basically libertarians, but they don’t want to upset their Fox audience.
I’d love to see more Dave Chappelle comedy – he doesn’t seem to care who he upsets.

Eddie,
I used to spend my time worrying about work, a roof leak, interest rates, oil dilution, humidity, magnesium levels in the lawn, that I never would have noticed my ex in front of me if she was putting rat poison in my food.
Now I see that women do that, and plenty of other things- now only seen because I have the time to notice, don’t have those other things to worry about, and the fact that our engineers have developed technology that takes the stealth out of the other gender.
My last 7 years are like an epiphany. I watch them at work, my God, how even at a young age-they manipulate. Spend more work trying to avoid work than actually doing it, seem to like getting over on someone rather than avoid conflict.
So that creature you show me in the video, yeah, seen it a dozen times already.
But then there are the good ones. But those seem to be the unpopular ones, the ones not in the “mean girl” group.
Not surprised at all by the level of child suicide with cell phones and “chat groups,” which, by the way, are being used now more than social media, they prefer to do stealth attacks in groups rather than on a platform like Instagram.
I mean, they trashed Al Franken for God’s sake. He was one of their advocates, but like a pack of rabid dogs they shredded him out of existence. For some stupid picture from like the 70’s.
Tread lightly boys, and maybe take a listen to Selena Gomez’s new song. Your sons have plenty to worry about.

I’m a judge, bro:
Justice Clarence Thomas reported a luxury trip, private jet flights and a real estate transaction with a Texas billionaire in his annual financial disclosure form, which was released on Thursday morning.
In an unusual move, the justice, who has been under increased scrutiny in recent months after he failed to disclose gifts and travel paid for by wealthy friends, included a detailed defense of his previous filings.
Fun Times! My kid injured his foot again in soccer practice. Off to Urgent Care this afternoon for an x-ray. He broke a toe in March and was out for a month, this time it’s the ankle. I tried to talk our main pediatric orthopedist into sneaking us in today. No way no how too busy next appointment available is Sept 6th and this is a big practice too. The first game is next weekend too and they have been practicing hard all summer.
Phoenix – Sleepy Joe is at Lake Tahoe. He “rented” billionaire Tom Steyer’s mansion so he did not have to declare it a gift. BTW apparently when you vacation with benefactors it is not considered a gift. This has been going on for over 50 years now, all kinds of exotic vacations that the average senator should not be able to afford and well Sleepy Joe became a senator in 1972.
Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.
Ask him about this vacation tomorrow.
He won’t remember being there. Guess that is a bit of a “silver” lining.

The vitrol against Clarence is nothing new. He is 75 the oldest on the bench, and well they want him out to change the makeup of the court.
But then again some other Justices have different ways of enriching themselves, like having the civil servants that work for the court pimp their books. No worries Sotomayor won’t be flying coach, she has made millions on her books.

It’s a sad story if you think about it. They insider traded their whole careers in congress to get 100 million dollars, and they never actually retire and enjoy it. They just get pushed around in a wheelchair and used by their underlings.
Speaking of octogenarians. I had the Acorn stair lift people out to give dear old mom a quote on a stairlift to the basement. For the last year or so she has been literally crawling up and down the stairs to do laundry. She won’t let us put a washer/dryer combo upstairs on the main floor as it will “ruin the value of the house”. She also won’t let us send laundry service to pick up and deliver, even though we used to use a laundry service back in the Bronx when we were kids.
For the next two weeks it will be arguing about the stair lift not being safe, and crawling is just fine…She wants to ride one to see how safe they are. The stair lift company no longer has a showroom, as well nobody ever went in it. She has two friends who do have Acorn Lifts. I will probably have to call them myself and take her there as she does not want to put them out.
Anyway the lift run about 3900 installed for a straight run. No coverage from insurance, only no sales tax with a prescription. I can get one cheap online barely used and install it myself but hey that ain’t safe I am told….
If I am lucky enough to get that old I am going to be an even bigger pain in the ass as it seems to be in the DNA.

Juice/Lib,
Thanks for your passionate advice. There is a bit more here, not just global vs regional bank considerations. The role could remote but they are looking for someone in Delaware ideally. The recruiter asked if I would relocate and I said no. I am going for third interview. I will follow it through but that is the queasy part. They really don’t want it remote but also know that getting Compliance and Fraud PMs don’t grow on trees in DE. Such f-ed times. Never had to deal with this stuff previously.

We split responsibilities between us, for cooking cleaning, doctors appointments etc, it was the least we could do to try and help him stay at home his last years. There was absolutely no way a woman was going to be allowed into his house to clean etc. it would have been company for him, but he refused. We had to use the carrot and stick approach to get him to do things. A proud hard working man , same with my Mom. We won’t see the likes of them again as they say.

Funny, but I don’t remember Google getting tons of criticism for their motto (“Don’t be evil”).
The woman was a bit on the flaky side, but I thought the narrator was a much bigger jerk than her.
3B – I have been going round and round for years now over laundry and stairs…..As far as siblings go, you know the story I am sure. I took her on many many family vacations and generally look after her home and well being and have her at my place whenever she needed to get away and see the beach or go to see a soccer match. Not to say my brothers and sister do nothing but generally, I lead they follow. None of them have her a guest unless it was babysitting or take her on vacations. It sad to say that but it is what it is.
We are having a Labor Day party all weekend at my place. BBQ, swimming, beach and whatever maybe fireworks too. Should be fun and time for the kids, adults and dear old mom and a few friends we have invited over. I am keeping it small this year no first cousins and families as well I don’t feel like cooking for 50 people which I have done in the past and well never get a moment’s rest when I do.
BRT,
A place like Harvard is now offering Happiness classes? Did they just see “Harvard” on the resume and assume she was qualified? The girl actually seems like she has mental illness. Creating swag to celebrate family wins? What the fuck does that even mean? And she had three kids through a surrogate? My instincts tell me she couldn’t be bothered to go through pregnancy though she may truly have a legitimate medical reason. Aside from that, this woman has ruined a global company to the tune of $100,000,000 per month for the last 5 months and counting.

Realy, the only thing this woman did wrong is that she severely underestimated how big an a**hole the average budlite drinker is.
Understand. My siblings were all good about it, some could do more as they lived closer. My spouses siblings , well that’s another story!! We used to do the big family get together s, just like my parents and in laws used to do, 50 60 people like you, a lot of work, but great memories. They all enjoyed it . The younger generation today don’t do those parties, whether it’s lack of time , or they just can’t be bothered. There are occasional graduations/ Communions, or a milestone birthday, but they are in a restaurant in and out in a couple of hours. If we are around, we may go, if not, just send a card. Different times today.

I couldn’t care less about the VPs at Anheuser-Busch. Only ones I feel sorry for all the people that work there that will lose their jobs and raises. They chose her, now it’s time for them to get to work cause it’s their job to fix it.
Refusing to repeat a lie is not being an asshole. Repeating it yourself, and pressuring others to repeat it is bizarre and cultish perspective. Mocking women or supporting it is being an asshole.
Additionally hailing an internet pervert as a civil rights pioneer is an insult to actual civil rights pioneers. Doing that also makes you an asshole.

Dr. Liggio in Milburn. Fantastic for sports injuries and especially broken bones. Always has appointments available because he’s no nonsense.
Juice, my mil had one put in their house, she is on o2 and stays on the 1st floor, uses it to get to the shower upstairs.
For my mother we had a live in aid for the last few weeks,even with everyone chipping in it was to much. Luckily there is a shower on the 1st floor.
I think many people are familiar with the situation of diversity hires being placed in positions of power and then f***ing up your own work, wasting your time, and creating problems for your business. Most of the time it’s just small things that make you and your colleagues annoyed about, having to work harder to make up for their lack of talent, their pointless time-wasting, their desire to inject their social justice blabber into things irrelevant to your actual work goals.
The reason this lady gets a lot of attention, is it’s one of the few cases so far where DEI really cost a company a lot of money, and that money is fairly easy to measure. So people can use this as a symbol to push back on the less egregious but still significant problems that this kind of hire causes at their own work.
I’m sure a show called “Woke Office” mocking this dynamic could be a hit, because plenty of people relate. But I don’t think even Fox would dare to make it, because it would set off a firestorm of people complaining about “punching down” and the like. Only men, preferably white, are allowed to be idiots and incompetents in TV and movies.
That marketing lady is weird, and so is that guy in the video criticizing her. It’s hard to watch either one of them.

This is all true, but the R’s at least have a valid strategic excuse for keeping Mitch around, namely that since the Kentucky gov is a Dem, the R’s will lose the seat — at least until a special election occurs (I haven’t verified that, but assume it’s the case). As for the Dem’s, they wouldn’t lose any seats if they were to retire their veggies. And for anyone keeping score, with Mitch now a certified turnip, the overall vegetable score is Dems 5 (Joe, Futterman, Feinstein, Pelosi, Nadler) Reps 1.

It’s really a tiny tiny crack, almost cannot make it out on the x-ray but is the cause of the pain. Boot for two weeks and then a follow-up x-ray. My son of course is very upset, he has been practicing his butt off all summer and his first game is next weekend. Doctor told him he also played soccer and when he was injured worked out his upper body. Good advice from a nice doctor.
Surreal is a former president placing fake electors, making threatening calls to find votes in GA, spreading false election fraud claims (which his own AG, VP, daughter and tons of Trump admins agreed was BS) plus getting people killed in organized coup attempt..yet millions believe this goon with narcissism rage disorder loves democracy and remains the leading R candidate. That, bud, is surreal.
Was talking with a neighbor. His high-school age football playing son is due for shoulder replacement surgery due to sports injuries.
No big deal these days? Feels insane to me.

“…sports injuries…Feels insane to me.”
Oh, the horror! A teenage boy wants to play a masculine, contact sport and he and his parents accept the risk that he could get hurt doing so. The problem isn’t teenage boys getting hurt playing football — and shoulder replacement surgery is obviously an issue for a miniscule number of participants, despite your inference — it’s that most libs/Dems these days would rather their teenage boys be like Dylan Mulvaney and make tiktok videos of themselves wearing a bikini in a bubble bath, rather than play football. Pathetic!
Nah back when I played football we had several teamates go info shoulder surgeries and knees etc in off-season. It isn’t the same butchery now with minimally invasive and all.
I broke my collarbone as a sophomore playing football and later a finger as a senior. The fingers we never told anybody about, we all had tape and taped it up ourselves. Many ankle injuries etc, lots and lots of taping before practice and games back then. Not sure how it is today in high school but you don’t win state champions without lots of hard-hitting and injuries. My kids have no interest in playing football and seeing how CTE has affected many people I am fine with that.
Sure, all “novel legal theories”, aka hoaxes. Keep falling for them, I guess you’ve been doing it this long.Too late to fess up Bud.
Two things my mom never wanted me to do: play football, or ride a motorcycle. Both are pretty likely to result in injury if you do it enough. Both sound like great ideas to 15 year old boys.
What sport does not have injuries? Swimming perhaps? Swimmer’s Ear count?

“I broke my collarbone as a sophomore playing football and later a finger as a senior…”
So in other words, you played high school football, and you’re just fine.
“My kids have no interest in playing football…”
That’s fine; some kids have no interest in soccer, some have no interest in baseball, etc. To each his own.
“…seeing how CTE has affected many people I am fine with that.”
I find it hard to believe that you know a single person that suffers from CTE as a result of having played high school football. I’m guessing that virtually no one suffers from CTE as a result of having played only through high school. You want to talk about the tiny percent of players that play beyond high school, and then the even tinier that play through college, and then the even tinier that have long professional careers…CTE is another phony lib issue.
First, in the American Journal of Political Science, a team of researchers including Peter Hatemi of Penn State University and Rose McDermott of Brown University studied the relationship between our deep-seated tendencies to experience fear—tendencies that vary from person to person, partly for reasons that seem rooted in our genes—and our political beliefs. What they found is that people who have more fearful disposition also tend to be more politically conservative, and less tolerant of immigrants and people of races different from their own. As McDermott carefully emphasizes, that does not mean that every conservative has a high fear disposition. “It’s not that conservative people are more fearful, it’s that fearful people are more conservative,” as she puts it.
Small – I am fine…so fine you would not want me around your wife.
Look dude, I cannot even count how many times my bell was rung and I got up and went in for another play and another tackle as my ears were still ringing.
I don’t think high school and college football have the same rate of CTE as the NFL. NFL hits and tackles especially on AstroTurf in many cases generate an insane amount of force. My point is there is a chance of concussion and perhaps injuries that are higher from cracking heads in the NFL, but that does not mean there aren’t any from high school or college ball. There definitely are, and if my kids don’t want to play I am fine with it.
Bystander, I agree with most of what you wrote except calling Jan 2020 an “organized coup attempt”.
Jan 6, looked like a disorganized protest run amok. A real coup involves plans to execute opponents, take control of the military, usually involving crushing any checks to authority. I mean, look up actual coups that have happened in history. Even Fielding Mellish was a better coup-plotter than Trump. Trump absolutely lacked the organizational skills or plan to execute an “organized coup attempt”. What we saw was a bunch of hysterical, delusional crybabies (including Trump) venting their impotent fury about losing, grasping at crazy straws like bullying Pence into doing impossible stuff, or blaming conspiracies, partly because of the way that incompetent inner city voting districts are incapable of sending in their ballots until late at night, which got up the hopes of Trump and his voters, and then dashed them later. Real coups are more Godfather-style assassinations, military double-crosses, and less marching around with posters.
“Trump absolutely lacked the organizational skills or plan to execute an “organized coup attempt”.”
Is there exception in the law for disorganized coup attempts?
“A real coup involves plans to execute opponents, take control of the military, usually involving crushing any checks to authority. I mean, look up actual coups that have happened in history.”
I did look it up- there have been lots of bloodless coups.
One just happened a couple of days ago in Gabon- military seized power after a president they didn’t like won re-election.
Y’all would be demanding the dead penalty if the insurrectionists were blacks or democrats
I played football from 6 to 14. As a freshman, we were playing with 16 year old sophs on JV. Basically man vs boy. I had hip pointer, sprained arm, concussion in 2 mos but a knee issue is what ended my playing days. Thank god my mother did. I was not big or fast enough to contribute past that age. My brother played NT into HS, powered through knee injuries, Osgood-Schlatter disease. He got offer to D3 school. He played one year at TE and injured knee again then had to stop. He is mid-50s and unable to walk up even small slopes for last 20 years, getting much worse last 10. He limps and looking at replacement. 80% should quit playing before HS unless they want serious problems in 40s/50s. They may love it but it is not worth it later.
No one,
You are right. Failed organized coup attempt. There is no doubt that his rally and rhetoric was organized to start the whole thing. He incited it with clear purpose. Bird-brain cult members own their actions though.

“…if my kids don’t want to play I am fine with it.”
That’s all you had to say; no need for the CTE drama. As it is, I’ll bet it’s not a stretch to say that the prevalence of CTE among men who played football through high school only, is no different than the prevalence in women who played soccer for the same amount of time — virtually zero!
Inappropriate? Ha…I haven’t even started in on any inappropriate humor.
I haven’t studied up on head trauma as much as you but I do know they can only diagnose it after death and it has been found in rugby and soccer players too.
But since you may even believe the world is flat I’ll link to just one study and leave you be.

Oc 1 hurling is a great sport, fast, intense and exciting in my view. It’s starting to become popular here in the US on the college level, some high schools, and a lot of local clubs, many with no Irish connections. And yes, can be some transitive injuries. Same with Rugby. Rugby worlds coming up soon!
re: hurling
My cousin’s son is on the team for County Wexford. The family is very proud for sure as he is really the only one in generations to make it that far. Might as well be playing for the NY Giants, as life is good for him.
CTE? That’s my working hypothesis to explain the behavior of many of the police officers in this country.
Don’t confuse CTE with steroids.
3b-
I was serious when I said it sounded exciting.
It sounds like a sport that would be fun to watch.
Unlike football- 5 mins of action over the course of a 2 hour game. :)
I hurled a few times in the 80s… usually around 2 AM or so. It was always before the White Castle run, that much I can say.

“What are the “masculine sports” (as opposed to “effeminate sports”, I guess?)”
I see where you’re going with this, and you could be right. I claim that football is a masculine sport, but someone that played tight end, and you may have done, could claim that it’s effeminate. Good point. In any case, I can’t improve upon the distinction that Carlin made in his baseball/football routine…
https://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor7.shtml
I myself played three seasons of rugby at WKU.
Peak masculinity baby.
Lib,
I don’t think your son will be distracted by the Swamp. This team looks like a stinker against Utah.
I know someone who has bad CTE. He played only 1 year in the NFL in the 80s. He actually gets his health coverage from the NFL today as a result. It was probably the 4 years of college ball that really did it.
Also, my best friend did 3 years of college football, he has had reconstructed surgery on both of his shoulders.
I’ve seen enough of my students get hurt playing football to let my son do so. It’s a little disheartening because he has those skills to be a really great cornerback. But I’ve watched many of them get battered. One even went into cardiac arrest on the field from a heart defect. The concussions are too much for me to be comfortable with.
That being said, I’ve also watched track coaches run kids into the ground and likely cause permanent damage. The doctor in town at my last school said he gets way too much business from the track team because of the foolishness.
My brother played D3 football for a few years in the 90’s. A bunch of concussions in HS and college forced him to quit. I think it was six. To this day he will have people he runs into that remember him from college, lived next to him in the dorms, and he has no idea who they are. Other than memory loss around the concussion times no long term damage into his 40’s. See how his joints hold up as he ages.
I quit football in HS and played on the golf team. Worst injury was a burnt lip from the joint we’d leave in the port a potty on the fourth hole.
Kids do CC and track, I’m good with that.
Played football at Boonton, I was fortunate enough to play with the only undefeated team Boonton has ever had. It was a great character builder and has definitely helped me throughout life.
We even had a 50 year reunion. My wife would not let my son play football (and I agreed) Instead he ran track and CC. Sports are definitely a confidence builder as you go through life. I continued playing sports ( softball & basketball) into my mid 50s , after 2 knee operations doctor told me to give it up, pain won out . Ps. Married pom pom girl …life is good!

If a 4 hr NFL game has like 10 minutes of actual play, what do kids get out of it besides permanent brain damage? Is the time play different?
Jim,
Love the part about marrying a pom pom girl. Good for you! :)

Most of the time it’s just small things that make you and your colleagues annoyed about, having to work harder to make up for their lack of talent, their pointless time-wasting, their desire to inject their social justice blabber into things irrelevant to your actual work goals.
The reason this lady gets a lot of attention, is it’s one of the few cases so far where DEI really cost a company a lot of money, and that money is fairly easy to measure.

A former friend was a cop. I remember walking with one around his town on first Halloween during CoVid and he would get incredibly angry at folks who were not setup for trick or treat or with their lights off. He had a German shepherd with him, off leash, and would smack his leather leash on the ground in rage as he described how awful these people were. He then purposefully police knocked and rang all doors that were clearly not setup to receive guests. Guy was nuts.
