As if it hasn’t already.

Wonder when the club will wake up to this and move to Bluesky?

Why doesn’t the EU / UK etc respond and insist that for any govenment contracts a company has to ensure it IS promoting diversity, equity and inclusion or they won’t be able to bid?

For the latter, it’s because the UK government are cowards.

Everytime I think about trying to climb the career ladder, either in my civilian or military life, something comes up that reminds me that being “higher up” actually just means you’re even more of a bitch for the company/organization you’re in than you were before.

The “Vice-President of the North-East” having to come to a meeting I was in and try to make an embarrassingly bad policy enforced by corporate into a good thing. I was cringing for him.

Then I see military leadership, some of whom I know from personal conversations absolutely disagree with this administration, having to smile and pose while the politicians use them as props. At least I was able to opt out of the Susan Collins photo-op when that came up last year. I think that wouldn’t have been an option if I had decided to go down the officer path.

One guy: this stuff if easy. You just get them to tell you their list of addresses. If they have them going back to when they were a kid they are clearly a citizen

Bro, you support DACA now and that just because they’ve been here since they were kids they should be allowed to stay?

I might not be thinking deep enough into this, but isn’t this more about optics than actually applying the law?

Basically leave a strong enough anti-DEI odour on American companies that anyone who appreciates those values or needs those protections will steer clear of said companies?
