#1 Unless ritual Seppuku is demanded, I'll be cleaning out my desk this afternoon.

As of Sunday evening, the letter had 1,0007 signatories

IMA guessing 1,0007 is more than 1,000. How much more is uncertain.

#2 Sounds like time to downsize and move them to someplace else in the country. They botched their reason to exist from the start of the year.

#3 Fire everyone who demands a "safe space". This isn't grade school -- be an adult.

#4 I find this awfully hard to believe. Given their current and past performance I don't think the agency is capable of widespread, systematic anything.

#6 Anybody here read L. E. Modesitt's Ghosts trilogy? In the alternate America were it takes place, government buildings in DC are forbidden to have air conditioning.

#7 /\ ....alternate American trilogy ?

Little need to read a trilogy when we're living it day-to-day.

#8 They are blaming the CDC for Floyd’s death?
Now I get it. Systematic racism == anything bad that is the result of our own choices and actions.

#9 /\ Systemic racism

Something akin to Kudzu. No planting necessary. It simply appears.

#10 Look. Systemic racism is a must in their ideology.
If everybody are equal, but some group underachieves - than the only possible explanations is that they're victims of covert discrimination.

#11 If they don't plant their stake, they don't get the money.

#12 Economist and author Thomas Sowell told “Life Liberty & Levin” in an interview airing Sunday evening that the left’s claim that America is beset by “systemic racism” has no definitive meaning and cannot be “tested” in any empirical manner.
“You hear this phrase, ‘systemic racism’ [or] ‘systemic oppression’,” host Mark Levin told Sowell. “You hear it on our college campuses. You hear it from very wealthy and fabulously famous sports stars. What does that mean? And whatever it means, is it true?”
“It really has no meaning that can be specified and tested in the way that one tests hypotheses,” answered Sowell, who added that the currency of the phrase reminds him of the “propaganda tactics” of Nazi Germany, where Sowell claimed that if a lie was “repeated long enough and loud enough” it would be widely beleived.

#13 At least we know what they've been focusing on instead of their jobs.

#15 Systematic Racism is people noticing that black culture has a diverse approach to following the law and is tolerant of criminality.

#19 "I'm idle. Muh fail is endemic,"
A loafer laments from his hammock.
"The fact is, I'm broke--
NO! It's THEM: they ain't WOKE...
And this problem is plainly SYSTEMIC!"
