Yet another reason to not renew my ACS membership.

I very much liked C&E news in the early 2000s. It had a period of perhaps 10 years where I felt it was slipping. I feel it is climbing back out now. I am optimistic that the climbing out will continue with the management change. I hope so.

It turns out that ACS is hopelessly 'woke'. The following may seem like a parody of 'woke'. Sadly, it is very real.

Wow, in a year, where no less than Nature has stated that it won't publish scientific results if they are not sufficiently 'woke', the C&E news is the topic picked on. The decline of Scientific American and other publications (takeover by the 'woke') is a much more relevant topic that (of course), the 'woke' won't talk about.
