Leftists against woke

[WAB]

I heard a commentator describe liberalism as the belief in creating conditions that allow everyone to flourish. In contrast, he characterized ‘woke’ ideology as focusing on elevating certain groups while encouraging others to feel guilty.

Yeah, "woke" is going too far.

Where exactly? And people espousing opinions doesn't quite count.

The basic problem is the metric has become the goal. And that's never good.

Isn't that you yanks don't want? (A metric system)

It's just that it would be rotten for pop/rock lyrics:

"I would walk five hundred kilometers,
And I would walk five hundred more,
Just to be the maaaaaahn who walked a thousand kilometers
To fall down at your door..."

****

"I'm gonna give you every centimeter of my love,
I 'm gonna give you my love..."


Nope. Just nope.

I still have my metric wrenches I got under the Carter adm when we were supposed to go metric.

They will come in handy if you buy stuff made somewhere other than Liberia, Myanmar, or the United States.

Your grandkids will appreciate them (maybe)

I sometimes use my metric tools.

You're probably looking at some metric hardware right now--I know some of the standard computer mounting screws are metric, I'm not sure if all of them are.

I have a Toyota and a BMW. Metrics are required.

I don't think you can buy a complete tool kit with only SAE tools nowadays.
