Bunge:

Some advice, stop projecting your problems onto others. Your psychosexual hangups are best kept to yourself, or shared with your therapist. TMI sonny.

Dude, put down the pipe and apply more ointment to your butt.

I mean, you DO realize how ridiculous you look…right?

Bunge – big words – structural, foundational, essential, undergirding, oh, I don’t understand context? There is no reason? Because, Bunge.

“Certain interactions,” those would be due to policies, regulations, and corporate “culture” that are influenced by “ideology?” Ok, Bunge ‘splain it all as is your proclivity.

Found your caps key again. How quaint. LOL

“Why do companies plow money (overhead costs) into HR?”

Because HR actually does serve a very useful purpose, especially in large corporations, but that purpose is fairly narrow. Once that HR department is established, however, it becomes a money/power suck for the reasons I outlined earlier.

And just in case there’s anyone else who, LIKE YOU, doesn’t understand what the “structural” means in this context…

There’s no inherent reason why HR should attract individuals of any particular ideology or political bent. HR staffers could be Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal. The point is that they’re in a situation where certain behavior/actions are incentivized and, as I’m sure social scientists could explain, attitudes can follow actions as surely as the other way around.

Structural issues – Why do companies plow money (overhead costs) into HR? To minimize risk from lawfare? Not that leftist ideology has anything to do with the law and “justice” or where laws originate. It is another profound mystery.

}}} These are not small things. This is the ACTUAL meaning of "Speaking Truth To Power". Not when you badmouth Trump in an Oscar reception speech or doing the monologue on The Tonight Show.

If HR just focused on HR, they’d have next to nothing to do 50-75% of the time.

Then cut their staff by 50-75%. A great deal of this just seems to derive from witless negligence on the part of company presidents.

“HR are social workers gone corporate.“

As I get older, I focus more on structural issues. For example, social media use probably has more to do with the current state of things than any Leftist ideology.

Similarly, the problem with HR is structural. I’ve been in corporate environments and there are moments when HR departments are VERY useful, but those moments are few and far between. If HR just focused on HR, they’d have next to nothing to do 50-75% of the time.

That’s not the recipe for a financially rewarding career. The result is a class of corporate employee with lots of free time and an incentive to “find” problems only they can solve.

Comic Evan Sayet argues in his recent book that we face a Woke Supremacy. And just like with other Supremacist ideologies — Islamism and Marxism, still au current — it cannot be stopped without resorting to force.

“ William Kamkwamba” – not bad. However the exception does not prove the rule. What is population of SSA? Roughly 1 Billion in 2020. I’d expect to be inundated with TED-talking rough-hewn prodigies I sense an absence.
