MATT WALSH (HOST): The outcomes have been fantastic. Just fantastic. 240 million gallons of sewage. Fantastic outcome. Fantastic. If that's fantastic, I would hate to see what outcome this guy would consider to be subpar. If 240 million gallons of sewage is a fantastic great outcome, then what would even he call, you know, suboptimal? Well, anyway, there you have it, when you're hiring personnel at DC water, it's vitally important to have a lot of people who aren't white. The executives need to look like the employees because when you're drinking water out of the tap or taking a shower, you know, the thing you care about is whether the people who ensured the cleanliness and safety of your water look like you or not. And if you get E. coli or some other exotic disease or parasite in your intestines from the water, well, you could take solace in the fact that while you're puking your guts out, at least there was a sufficient level of diversity over in the water management department. David Gaddis never explains why this is so important, but he doesn't really have to.
At this point, it's common knowledge that in many cases, government employment functions like a jobs program for people who are not white. This is one of those things that sounds offensive to some people, I guess, but it's clearly true, and even Democrats will admit it. If you've ever had the misfortune of walking into a DMV office, which many adult has, you may have noticed that they typically aren't very diverse, you know, or they're diverse only in the leftist sense of not being diverse at all. A lot — mostly Black women, some Black men, not a lot of white people over at the DMV. Neither are transit jobs or most administrative jobs in the government, and that's no accident. By and large, nonwhite people get these jobs and then they hire other nonwhite people, and once they get the jobs, they're basically impossible to fire. This has led to the creation of the so-called Black middle class, which is almost entirely a tax-funded function of the government.
