| I read that the city council of Berkeley California voted unanimously to eliminate all gender specific terms out of their city code. Two of the 40 + terms affected by their new law are manhole and manpower. Manholes now have to be referred to as "maintenance holes" and manpower has to be "a workforce." I suppose that too many manholes were filing suits against them because of gender discrimination. Nuff said before I have a political melt down. Darrel |

Yeah,,Darrel,,All those froots and Nutz are fixin to be in for a HUGE surprise and disappointment on Nov 8, 2020,,,!! The wife's sissy in Los Angeles cannot wait for the 2020 elections to vote for "anybody" that will run against all the incumbents including nancy,!! This is coming from a dyed in the wool 193% democratic, liberal leaning, very vocal person,,,,,!!!  I'm sure a lot of other people all over are hearing the same thing from life long democrats that want no part of the "free everything" BS for the illegals and forgetting all about the real citizens of the USA. I know I am sick of it. Simply amazing what a sorry platform they propose. OK,,I'm not done but,,,better stop here,,,,
come on 2020,,,,,, |

Yeah Darrel, I saw that on the news and am still wondering,,,,,,,,,,WHAT a waste of time and money. Apparently they don't have anything better to do. Other than a real few nutcases, most of the Dems I talk to are sick and tired of all the illegals too. They get everything and our own kids get stuck with the debt. I truly hope they wake up in 2020. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

So what happens to all businesses and products that have gender specific names. Manpower etc. Gender specific products. Guess they can't do business there. ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's.
