The Difficulty: Gov. Hochul signing laws to make use of “salesperson” as a substitute of “salesman” in state legislation.
Cabbies are being robbed and overwhelmed to demise, children are destroying companies as a result of they’re offended that further sauce prices extra, some dope shot up a grocery store just because individuals of coloration work and store there and a McDonald’s employee was shot and killed over some chilly french fries — and Gov. Hochul’s large announcement is that we will not name somebody a “salesman” in state legislation (“It’s ‘man’ overboard in woke NY purge,” Aug. 19).
I’m positive that’s going to right every little thing incorrect with New York.
What an excellent job you’re doing there, Hochul. I hope your keep within the governor’s mansion is brief. It actually hasn’t been candy.

Hochul signed a brand new legislation banning the phrase “salesman” from state legislation. I’m positive that our legislators labored very exhausting at getting the wording precisely proper in order that we might converse and suppose within the accredited method.
Whereas they have been exhausting at work, the crime wave that they unleashed on our state continues with out even a phrase of concern from the identical individuals.
Our paid representatives are solely involved with woke virtue-signaling, whereas permitting our state to deteriorate day-after-day. It’s our fault if we don’t take away these idiots from workplace by voting them out. It should take a very long time to restore the injury they’ve carried out.

Let me get this straight: Our non-elected governor is worrying about gender phrases whereas criminals are strolling free.
I don’t care in case you are a Republican or a Democrat: You can’t vote for this moron. It’s now time to place your security and well-being earlier than celebration.

Within the try to be gender-neutral, this doesn’t clear up the issue — for “salesperson” implies masculinity, as does “salesman.” If it’s a lady who’s doing the promoting, will it’s “salesperdaughter? (Even “lady” features a “man” in it.)
Maybe in case you pluralize it to “salespeople” which may clear up the issue. However what in case you’re coping with just one particular person who’s doing the promoting?
By the identical token, the title of Bizet’s well-known opera “Carmen” must be modified to “Carpeople.” See how absurd this will get?

The Difficulty: Maureen Callahan’s column on Alec Baldwin’s conduct after the demise of Halyna Hutchins.
Maureen Callahan, as ordinary, writes what you and I are considering (“Justice coming for you, Alec,” Aug. 16).
In her column, she particulars precisely why Alec Baldwin’s actions whereas on the set of “Rust, the place he shot useless Halyna Hutchins, and up till today are so egregious and disrespectful of others, together with Ms. Hutchins’ household.
I’ve however one query for Callahan: Doesn’t she know that Alec Baldwin is a diehard Democrat? Based on the FBI, Democrats are above the legislation.
If the Division of Justice and the FBI didn’t have a double normal, they wouldn’t have any requirements in any respect.

I couldn’t agree with Callahan extra. She completely summarized Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s boastful behaviors.
And her final line: “So, you already know, there’s that” was sensible. Nicely carried out. Now we have now to hope he’s held accountable for his actions.

Baldwin’s spouse makes us lose any sympathy we may have for him.
She is an terrible self-centered particular person, posting continuous about her family, whereas Hutchins’ younger boy misplaced his momma.
