[quote] Mel Gibson on Trump’s Arrival in California:
“It’s Like Daddy Arrived, and He’s Taking His Belt Off”
In January 2021, the month Joe Biden became president, the theme of the annual Davos forum was the Great Reset, a blueprint for a system more diverse, equitable and inclusive than the privileged, predatory and patriarchal system under which the assembled delegates became rich.
This year, a wave of collective amnesia swept through the Swiss mountain resort, rendering delegates unable to recall the nonsense they’d been talking for the past four years.
Peer-level exchanges between DEI officers, partnerships to dismantle systemic racism, ensuring the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer individuals in socio-economic life and other worthless schemes appeared to have vanished from delegates’ memory banks as
they greeted the US President with unctuous applause.
“My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory, diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense,” Trump said. “America will once again become a merit-based country.
“There are only two genders: male and female. We will have no men participating in women’s sports. Transgender operations, which became the rage, will occur very rarely.
“I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal. I call it the green new scam. I withdrew from the one-sided Paris climate accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. I declared a national energy emergency to unlock the liquid gold under our feet. I’m also taking swift action to stop the invasion at our southern border
“No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favourite words of those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and, frankly, progress.”If there was a murmur of disapproval from the audience, it was inaudible on the official recording. The overwhelming sentiment from his corporate audience appeared to be relief. No more endless meetings with bloated HR departments, no more protection money to the corrupt and subversive Black Lives Matter movement, and no more tedious board papers on triple bottom lines.
The President had given them the authority to do what business does best: create wealth and expand prosperity. Millions of pages of mumbo-jumbo could be committed to the shredder. Capital could be allocated on the advice of the capital markets rather than responding to government diktat. Liberation day had arrived.
