Kamala Harris

Those that promote DEI are the racists and they are dug in. White guys will still be working, but either for themselves or on the fringes as say the IT guy. Nothing to be gained by playing DEI games. Look at colleges. White guys are there less and less.

Was it me who displayed the Confederate flag? Nope that was you.

It was a modified confederate flag. What does that have to do with anything? Same flag has been used on things from southern rock to "The Dukes of Hazard." I used it as a symbol of rebellion. I did not use it like the Democrats who used it when they broke away from the USA because people did not want them to keep slaves anymore.

On the other hand, you are the one who openly mocks anything having to do with religion. You support hiring people based on skin color and gender. You support men in women's sports. Be careful of the stones you throw.

In theory I would be in favor of embracing diversity and inclusion and acknowledging problems with this as a clear problem of the 20th century that no doubt has lingering effects ... [equity as opposed to equality? that's for a different discussion]

The problem is what happens when this is put into practice, as we can see. The need to signal virtue is so strong it starts to dominate ... plus the fear of the government , not knowing what they might be up to next. Certainly , no outfit wants to get targeted

Diversity leads to a strong company filled with talented employees that make the company profitable
I worked for American Express for over 20 years
We were never targeted because we made money
Company made a profit
So diverse, our CEO was a black guy for much of my employment. Ken Chenault
American expresses goal was to make the company as diverse and international as their customers and communities. HQ NYC. That city is about as diverse as it gets and AMEX reflected that.
This is how you do it

I think the military is a great example of that, bringing together people of every stripe and training them towards a common goal.

Vice President Kamala Harris will propose sweeping new federal subsidies for parents, homebuyers, and Americans with low-incomes alongside new programs to curb increases in rent and grocery prices as she seeks to convince voters that she would act swiftly to address one of their top concerns — rising consumer costs.

The Democratic nominee, who will unveil the plan Friday afternoon in North Carolina as part of her three-month sprint to Election Day, plans to target some of the core expenses of daily life — the costs of food, housing and prescription drugs — while overhauling the federal tax code.

Harris’ plan would expand the child tax credit to $3,600 from $2,000 per dependent, with a super-sized $6,000 credit for newborns. Harris also proposes expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-wage workers who don’t have children, and increasing subsidies for those who purchase insurance on federal health exchanges.

The vice president also envisions new price controls on groceries, and expanding limits on out-of-pocket prescription drug prices to all Americans. Tens of billions of federal dollars would be spent to improve the supply of federal housing, while Harris is pledging to implement new rules to prevent corporate and landlord price gouging.

Less racists in the workforce isn't a bad thing. Less dudes who can't measure up in a fair market is unfortunate, but that's life.
