This is what passes for leadership?

Don’t call them manholes. Berkeley City Council removes gendered language from city code
“In recent years, broadening societal awareness of transgender and gender nonconforming identities has brought to light the importance of non-binary gender inclusivity,” City Manager Dee Williams-Ridley wrote in a memorandum to council, later writing that “amending the municipal code to include gender-neutral pronouns by eliminating any gender preference language within the municipal code will promote equality.”

So, yeah, we have people living in tents, shitting on the sidewalks, eating out of garbage, not getting proper healthcare, but the Berkeley City Council believes that gender pronouns is the thing that they should "really" be worried about.

I'll bet all of those people waking up hungry and without a home will feel better knowing that they no longer have to put up with the idea that that round thing that covers the openings to the sewer system is still called a "manhole cover".

Because I will bet you dollars to a donut that the use of pronouns is what was concerning most citizens of Berkeley.

In the early 80's Berkeley was a clean, beautiful city to live in.

Now they have shit on the streets but their pressing concern is the word manhole is not inclusive enough.

The whole state is an asylum.

Last year the Obama's joined Netflix. So now the company just had their stock plummet because they had a drop in us subscribers for the first time ever.

Everything economic he touches turns to shit.

Winning over the Lost Years .
"
Bankruptcy courts are quiet places these days, at least compared to previous years.

Corporate and consumer bankruptcy filing rates are at their lowest point in about a decade, according to a new report from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts."

Just turned on CBS evening news in time for their story about how the potus said go back to where you came from.

Fake news. That's not what he said and not what he meant. This is why his voters stick by him. The bullshit from the media is an outrage. And they learned nothing from 2016.

The freshman lawmaker’s Green New Deal rolled out with a rocky start. While it asserted that “human activity is the dominant cause of observed climate change over the past century” and added that “a changing climate is causing sea levels to rise and an increase in wildfires, severe storms, droughts, and other extreme weather events that threaten human life,” it also teased giving economic stability to people “unwilling” to work."

Didn't Obama heal the Earth and drop the sea levels?

So you did your post-grad work at FDU? So it begs the same question. How did you manage to do post-grad work at a school 3000 miles away from where you said you lived?

And where did you do your grad work.....trump university of idiots?????? BWAAAAA!!!

anonymous said...

Hey cramps....you never answered where you lived when you went to berkley and discovered a clean beautiful city.....why is that?????

Commonsense said...

I always lived in Florida, I went to Berkeley in the early 80's on business. It was a beautiful clean city with some great restaurants back then.

Oakland, with the exception of Jack London square was always a dive.


Because I lived and worked in NJ at the time....
Yes, so if you have some super secret space/time gizmo that allow you to be in two places at the same time. you were lying.

Berkeley in the early 80's on business


BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Your 2 days in Ca made you an expert?????? BTW....It still is a clean city with fine restaurants......Oakland is another story.....always.....



e time....

You dumb fuck if my time line confuses you it is because you are spatially retarded....And your grad school was??????

Commonsense said...

Somewhat more than 2 days, but you really don't need much more to get an impression of the city.

Not confused at all. You admitted you were at FDU in the early 80's which means you were lying.

Caught Denny again.

n 2 days, but you really don't need much more to get an impression of the city.

Especially for low IQ liars like you!!!!! BWAAAAAAA!!!!


And yes I was at FDU in the early 80's and live in NJ......how can even you fuck that up?????

cowardly king obama said...

lo iq said BTW....It still is a clean city with fine restaurants

fine restaurants - actually right. lots of rich kids go to UCB (and high payed staff) and lots of commuting into the "city" (SF) and it's wealth.

clean city - ABSOLUTELY FALSE, it is a pigsty

I have a sister who outright owns a 1000 sf 2 bedroom 1 bath shack on Berkeley and those are going for 1.2 million. Everyone in town is liberal, homelessness is unreal and aggressive (had Thanksgiving there once and they even came and knocked on door looking for handouts), the neighbor has security cam video of one taking a dump in the middle of her driveway. Trash and graffiti everywhere, filthy.

But lots of "resistance"

y - ABSOLUTELY FALSE, it is a pigsty


BWAAAAAAA!!! Good for you.....I find it to be an old city.....but generally habitatable as evidenced by home prices you stated asshole

cowardly king obama said...

"classic" lo iq said "generally habitatable as evidenced by home prices you stated asshole "

Yeah, generally habitable if you can afford 1.2 million for a shack that wouldn't sell for $200k anywhere else in the country.

Very habitable if you are among the thousands of homeless there and sleep in a tent or on a bench.

"Generally habitable" if you rent shared space with 5 or 6 students in a 2 bedroom house or sleep in your car.

"Generally habitable" if you spend $400k for a 500 sf TOD in a 5 story tower by the Bart station.

Most people don't think a severe housing shortage makes a city "generally habitable"

Most people don't think high prices make places "generally habitable".

Except lo iq, who's on display again
