I got a very unusual email from a corporate CEO today.

We are all used to seeing corporate leaders come out and cheer the leftist, statist causes but it is rare that a quiet conservative corporate CEO comes out saying anything political.  And that's why I think this email I received from Mark Cendella, CEO of The Ladders social media website was interesting, both in terms of content and timing.

Cendella hasn't said jack squat to his website subscribers all this time, to his credit.  But now he suddenly feels the need to call out Andrew Cuomo's ridiculous mismanagement of the covid response.  As if that was not enough of a jab at the left, he characterizes not just Cuomo, but much of the left by extension as being "phony" and "deeply disturbed".

As I said, the silent moral conservative majority has been watching all of this cra cray bullshit go down but have remained quiet, wringing their hands hoping for the crazy leftists to grow up.  But I think the conservatives now realize that the left is not going to grow up until conservatives grow a pair, stop worrying about social pressure and care more about good old fashioned right and wrong.  

Conservatives need to get rid of the grey areas where the liberals love to hide their true intentions and out them as either crazy and delusional or traitorous.  Trust me when I tell you, when the conservative herd finally loses its reticence toward doing what it knows is right, there will not be a 3rd choice offered for those who caused all this social havoc:

- Attacking children in the classroom with radical antiwhite propaganda such as critical race theory, the ills of capitalism and the virtues of radical socialism, etc.

- Mass rioting, looting, taking over portions of the city, intimidating shouting in people's faces when they are trying to have a family dinner out on the town, etc.

- Demanding everyone wear a face covering (not a medical mask mind you, a tee shirt pulled up over the face was acceptable), scaring everyone with made up covid statistics, and pushing a dangerous vax onto the population or be ostracized. Also, pushing the vax passport agenda.

- Massive election fraud at federal, state and local levels.

Payback is coming.

Good Labor Day Monday, Captain!

With the holiday today, I’d say it’s time to take a break from Ladders applying to jobs for you or your applying to selected jobs, but our site traffic indicates that many of you have already been taking a break. It’s well-deserved. This summer, many of us have had a chance to get away from work, away from Zoom, away from the news, and spend meaningful time with our families for the first time in a year. We can be thankful for all that has gone right for us in the past year. Despite the temporary setback of the Delta variant, we are better prepared, better protected, and better able to handle the challenges of this global pandemic. A year ago, we had no idea that Operation Warp Speed would deliver a vaccine within months. No way of knowing that the economy would turn around so quickly. No idea that the hiring frenzy would be back soon. The unemployment rate among the college-educated was 5.3% last Labor Day, which was 0.3% worse than the worst days of the Great Recession. In the latest numbers released on Friday, the unemployment rate had dropped to 2.8% among the college educated. What a terrific result. That’s a much different place than we were last year, on Memorial Day 2020, when I also wrote on Gratitude. New York State had experienced 30,000 - 40,000 deaths in the prior two months. (Those of us who were critical of Gov. Cuomo’s response, as I was, have been vindicated - the whole phony, macho front was the character flaw of a deeply disturbed man.) Vaccines seemed years off in the future. Each week, a different country or region would be devastated by the pandemic. And our future was uncertain. In that newsletter, I mentioned Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi lyrics: Don't it always seem to go That you don't know What you've got Til it’s gone  This Labor Day, let’s give thanks, let’s be grateful for what we’ve got.You never know when it might be taken away. What are you ready to show gratitude for this Labor Day? Family, friends; time away, time to play; health, wealth, safety? Whatever it is, I hope you cherish it dearly this long weekend, and come back to the working world ready to thrive. Have a great day off, Readers! I’m rooting for you,
