Has Jamie Diamond caused anyone here to do a little self reflecting besides myself ?

His quote, not mine.

“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.”

I have been reflecting on it a lot.

- Did it really make sense for me to encourage my daughter to pursue her interest in college and thereby get a useless degree that she can not find employment in ? Instead she had to fall back on teaching HS with dismal wages and scant possibilities of buying a home in the next 10 yrs. Why did I not try harder to encourage her to think about the job possibilities instead of being such a pushover. Her only hope is to get the student loans dismissed after public service.

- OTOH my Son with an advanced engineering degree and almost 10 yrs experience was recently passed over for promotion in lieu of a lesser qualified minority with only a BS from a second rate school and less than half his experience on the job. His company explicitly began hiring based on DEI a few yrs back. It's so infuriating that after $220,000 in student loans, mostly straight A's, dedicated and enthusiastic employee is being overlooked because he can't change his skin color. How can my son even compete ?

- My husband bought a new Ford EV truck and mid-size travel trailer in March. We own land near the beach in South Carolina that we were looking forward to visiting during the summer. It turned out to be like a comedy movie. What should have taken us 6 hours drive time turned into 14 hours after having to charge the battery 3 times. Why didn't the salesman tell us the extra tow weight would zapp the battery that much !! We were all so disgusted that we traded the truck in at Myrtle Beach for a regular gasoline engine for the trip home. I think all this climate talk and the EV rebates has gotten ahead of reality.

Jamie Diamond would have known to not expect an EV truck to be good for towing.

Yea, these aren’t real trucks, everyone knows this, only good for driving to Whole Foods. “There’s no replacement for displacement.”

OP, this is more about your and your family's decision making. Plenty of info out there before getting a degree and buying an EV. I also very much doubt that your son was more qualified and you only have your son's side of the story.

So, yeah, maybe it's time for you to reflect on your own actions and not democratic policies. You know, a little accountability. Something maga and their leader is incapable of, so maybe don't go down that road.

Who is Jamie Diamond? Is that some stripper?

What company does your son work for? If this is true, then your people can protest and boycott. Please name the company and cite the explicit DEI policy.


Thanks! Looking forward to your detailed follow up post.

Lol I thought the right wing trolling was working on believable subtlety.

He's the CEO of JP Morgan Chase. Rumored to be thinking about running for president.

You needed to have this explained to you? Guess what! You use more gas when towing too.

Obviously you're an above average MAGA with a single digit IQ.

OP here My son works for Boeing. He leads a very skilled team. It's true I only have my son's story, but I also know my son and wholeheartedly trust him.

My post wasn't meant to be about my Son. It's about me rethinking several things that just hasn't made sense to me the last several years. Why can't we get along with everyone and try to see their side of the story. Why must we fight about everything. I feel all my neighbors and friends just want to be antagonistic politically and get us nowhere as a nation. I have been a democrat for almost 60 years but I'm beginning to think the moderate people like me needs to break away and form a new party without all the silliness.

This is the dumbest thing I have read all week. And that’s saying a lot.

Where on the Democratic platform does it encourage kids to major in their passion? That’s on you.

Where on the Democratic platform does it say to hoodwink EV buyers about the battery life of an EV.

Maybe your son is not the star you think he is.

Your kids need to find their bootstaps and pull themselves up!

If they are free, white and 21 only their lack of ability is holding them back.

You sound like you have low intelligence. Maybe your kids are the same.
