  • People lie about it in my experience. I work in government and in education. I’ve received our “DEI” training. I’m in the very heart of it, and all I’ve seen is that it’s the exact thing that the people who complain about it say (sometimes) that they want instead. They (probably say but don’t necessarily mean) that we should hire based on merit and not race. Well guess what? My dei training is watching a video where: some boss says "I don’t want to hire Ahmed ", his subordinate says “but he’s the best candidate” and his boss says “yeah but he’s Indian” freeze frame, question on what you should do, play video saying to hire him if he’s the most qualified guy.

    Maybe your experience is different, but I’m in an organization that is what gets pointed to the hardest as “the problem” by these people, and I have seen what they describe. Maybe it’s different for HR, but are you in our HR department, or have you just “heard about it”




  • Israel couldn’t have gone until the election without him? I don’t know how much they have in store, but I assumed it was significant. Maybe I’m wrong there. They probably wouldn’t have gone as hard, but there was no guarantee they would stop. There is certainly something different about trump saying stop it and Biden saying it. Are you assuming it’s that Trump attached it to shipments? I don’t know what is different myself. It could be several things. I’m not discounting the possibilities. He says it’s his manly voice, and while that drips with sarcasm, I mean it could be? Maybe bidens a wimp and that was the difference. But… I’m also not discounting possibilities that disagree with that.
