How about “DIE” (Diversity, inclusion, equity)?

This nonsense is all the justification anyone needs to move work out of this country; eventually they’ll have no choice because there will be no educated Americans under 30.

I remember when having “discriminating taste” was a virtue.

All radios and TVs have a discriminator circuit. Without it, all stations would play simultaneously.

We discriminate every day, from what we’ll eat for breakfast, to whether we’ll Cc someone in an email, to what we’ll watch on the boob tube after supper.

F the corporations. It’s the small businesses that are the backbone of US economy. Which reminds me.... has anyone run the numbers per state as to how many were destroyed since the rona BS reared it’s chinese head?

Leave it to supply and demand. I don’t shop companies that don’t supply what I want. I certainly don’t shop companies that demand I be woke.

If you ever worked for large businesses, then you know they share some common characteristics. Besides being large, they are cumbersome, inefficient, lack focus, have communication problems and are poorly managed in more than one area. I like to say, "they survive despite themselves." This has been the case for decades. The politically correct stuff in 90's made the work environment worse and large businesses even less effective. I can only imagine how all this woke crap is impacting large businesses. They are ripe for major competition, except large businesses do everything possible to stifle competition. They lobby for regulations and tax laws the benefit them and make it difficult for smaller competitors. They collude. They use their wealth to buy and eliminate small competitors.

It seems to me that over the last 30 or so years that large businesses have moved away from the core mission. That is "increase shareholder wealth." Do they even teach that in B school any longer. Large businesses are dominated by all sorts of expenses dedicated not to profit, but to some nebulous social end. It is to the point that they are chasing customers away.

Why? What is so wrong about delivering an excellent product and a decent price in the most efficient and effective manner? Can't large businesses just leave it at that?
