The Difficulty: Gov. Hochul signing laws to make use of “salesperson” as an alternative of “salesman” in state regulation.
Cabbies are being robbed and overwhelmed to dying, youngsters 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 colour work and store there and a McDonald’s employee was shot and killed over some chilly french fries — and Gov. Hochul’s massive announcement is that we are able to now not name somebody a “salesman” in state regulation (“It’s ‘man’ overboard in woke NY purge,” Aug. 19).
I’m positive that’s going to appropriate every part improper with New York.
What a fantastic job you're doing there, Hochul. I hope your keep within the governor’s mansion is brief. It definitely hasn’t been candy.

Hochul signed a brand new regulation banning the phrase “salesman” from state regulation. I’m positive that our legislators labored very onerous at getting the wording precisely proper in order that we'd converse and assume within the authorized method.
Whereas they have been onerous 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 would 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 if you're 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 social gathering.

Within the try and be gender-neutral, this doesn’t remedy the issue — for “salesperson” implies masculinity, as does “salesman.” If it’s a girl who's doing the promoting, will it's “salesperdaughter? (Even “girl” features a “man” in it.)
Maybe should you pluralize it to “salespeople” that may remedy the issue. However what should 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 habits after the dying of Halyna Hutchins.
Maureen Callahan, as standard, writes what you and I are pondering (“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 lifeless Halyna Hutchins, and up till this present day 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? In line with the FBI, Democrats are above the regulation.
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 realize, there’s that” was sensible. Effectively carried out. Now we've got to hope he's held accountable for his actions.

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