I foresee some Muhammad Ali type lawsuits. Or not, people would likely prefer to NOT serve in this type of military. The desire to trash the US Constitution is beyond disgusting. DEI puts identity above ability, which may or not be unconstitutional but it sure as hell is counterproductive. The idea that the only alternative to "good" racism/sexism is "bad" racism/sexism is a straw man. The alternative put forth is to select on the basis of ability/aptitude only, which is as fair as it gets. I'll take Equality over Equity any day.

billvon 2,990 #231 November 13, 2024 7 minutes ago, winsor said: DEI puts identity above ability Let's break it down. Diversity - a group with a wider perspective is better than a group with a narrow perspective. A company made up of all top performing EEs would suck. You need financial types, managerial types, a few mech E's, coders, IT people etc. Equity - you have to do more to support people who need it. Handicapped parking spots, ramps, elevators, bathrooms with larger stalls etc. Inclusion - you have to work to ensure everyone is included. Sometimes that means having career fairs at a place other than the CEO's alma mater, even if he really, really likes them. Which of them puts identity above ability? Quote The idea that the only alternative to "good" racism/sexism is "bad" racism/sexism is a straw man. No, the best alternative is NO racism. And having racism but pretending it doesn't exist is not the same as no racism. Quote The alternative put forth is to select on the basis of ability/aptitude only, which is as fair as it gets. Yep. Let's get there. We're not there yet. Quote I'll take Equality over Equity any day. So you would rip out those handicapped parking spots and ramps, so that everyone gets equal facilities, without special provisions for the disabled? Attitudes like yours are why we have actually have to pass laws to protect the disabled. It should be common sense, but sadly that is quite lacking on the right these days. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faicon9493 141 #232 November 13, 2024 I was so inspired by Trump's win that I'm going to the next local school board meeting and argue that they hire the town drunks to drive the school buses. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Baumchen Fasten your seat belts re bumpy night. Is what Matt Gaetz told the under age girls after crushing Viagra pills and snorting them. Then chasing it with energy drinks. so he could go all night. At least thats what he told other senators directly and bragging about it on the US senate floor. I can see what is appealing to trump about Gaetz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
