We’re screwed. This country will never be the same. Couldn’t even finish this because this mindset is too insane. Talking about whiteness in the medical field? I’m glad I’m older…just feel sad for the little ones in my family.

I am at the age that I need more medical care. I worked for a major medical system and it is scary as hell. This is just the beginning. The downstream results of DEI practices in under-grad, post-grad, medical schools and residences are coming like a Tsunami. In 5-10 years there will be very few white doctors as the current ones retire. Healthcare will most likely be 75-80% female.

That's what scares me. Not that they're different races but that they're trained to be racist. I want a doctor who is trained to be a physician. I pick the oldest doctors I can find (who I figure went through medical school when it was sane) and hope for the best. Turning 80 this year and working very hard to stay healthy.

I feel the same sadness for my grandchildren 😢 Unfortunately I have a white light haired blue eyed boy that I feel will be screwed in every way in this country!

Sadly this is a fact. Where are the white men today that have the opportunity to band together and speak out? They are silent.

Yep. 10 years when I was pregnant with my daughter I worried about raising a girl in this world. Not because of the progressive feminist trope but because the sexual culture was/is concerning. Now I have two boys and I worry far more about them and what this world will hold for them.

Yeah the kids aren’t going to have careers. They’ll be working for the incompetent or doing the work for those who cannot be fired.

They will be running their own small businesses, as my son is planning to do. Only the big firms are infected with ideology, the small business will become even more of an economic engine than it already is.

ESG mandates are intended to force the ideology downwards into small businesses, and it may well work. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/swift-how-esg-rules-will-kill-canadian-small-business

That is horrible if it ever comes to pass. I foresee a lot of fudged numbers. I know I will simply make stuff up.

Trudeau has said he wants to make it mandatory for Canadian businesses starting in 2024. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/government-mandated-esg-disclosures-a-reality-check

Maybe that is why Target and Walmart got to stay open during the early months of the pandemic but small businesses had to close?

The real discrimination in this country is against the middle and working class.
