Three of my neighbors have just recently declared that they are running for the Democrat nomination for president. A fourth neighbor has just formed an exploratory committee...
Partner, you will the best line of the day award!
Loved that line!

One bullet point in the example simply statesMen Are Equal. It would be interesting to hear what he would say about this. Our Constitution says that men are created equal. Men do not remain equal. Thomas Jefferson said, and I paraphrase, that it is a grave mistake to attempt to make unequal men equal. Good observation - one I have not heard people point out before.
On the other hand - and an equally important but equally subtle point - did you notice the actual phrase is “ life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...”
Life is absolute. No qualifiers. No exceptions.
Liberty is absolute. No qualifiers, no if, and, or but’s or foulmouthed “only if the government approves of your happiness”
But you only have a right to “the pursuit of happiness”.
You have NO RIGHT to "happiness".

I use a white board keeping track of pipes, weld sequences or installation progress.
Just mark it up each hour or so as things change. Never lose power or log-off or shut the computer off.

Nothing says grass roots authenticity like a crowd ERUPTING in spontaneous chants of “Powerpoint! Powerpoint!”
Sounds legit.
It’s just like “MAGA!” We’re doomed.

They insist on Lotus Notes being kept around too.
Well your Lotus Notes Administrator is probably a member of AFSCME by now...

Requests are made from day to day;
Briefings held and changes made.
Graphic slides, a must they say,
Power Point is the only way.
Computers crash and printers stall,
Overloading protocol.
Networks down and soldiers cry
Briefings late, so heads will fly.
Pin Power Point slides upon my chest,
Full color slides, they look the best
100 slides were made that day
but only 10 made the final display.
Smiles upon the Generals face
Slides were done, looked really great
Was up all night really working late,
Just to hear the General say
.
My soldier son, your slides were great,
Briefings done, staffs up to date,
One problem son, you took too long,
So put in one more change, then go on home.
So tell my Mom I done my best,
Pin Power Point slides upon my chest
100 slides were made that day,
but only 10 made the final display

I was a little kid in Columbus/Fort Benning when the song came out. May still have the 45. It was everywhere.

“They were dusty and messy. “
Yes, but whiteboards are creepy.
To: cymbeline
“Creepy” is a matter of personal taste and opinion.
“Dusty and messy” is an observable objective fact.
