Janet Petro—the first woman to hold the position since its founding 67 years ago—wrote that diversity programs “divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination,”

In 2021, when she was the director of Kennedy Space Center, she spoke at length in an interview about the value of diversity, saying “our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility has been paramount to mission success.”

The turnaround is giving me whiplash.

There's no begrudging following of the rules, it's wholeheartedly embracing the new regime.

When it is easy everyone thinks they are Oskar Schindler but when it is hard most people are Hugo Boss.

Sun-Tzu actually described how this works with soldiers, and how do you work with such gentle material. I'd say his book's parts on psychology are about making a Hugo Boss from a wannabe Oskar Schindler, but if one applies his advice to oneself, one can put different goals.

I also like Marcus Aurelius.

The quote from the email isn't her words. They were given to her (and all agency heads) to send out to their workforce to implement the EO. It should not be taken as "embracing the new regime".

So... "she's just following orders"?

They need to give all interviews in with an Inspector Clouseau accent to let us know they are under duress like the US pilot who was put on TV during the first gulf war.

She sent the email. They're her words now.

Boomers are natural bootlickers, no conviction... She says what gets her a head.

Also shouldnt she be in a fema camp instead of leeching on federal budget?
