It seems to me that it would be surprising if Paxton was not curious about DEI and airline safety at Boeing. AFAIK nobody has proved that DEI is the cause of Boeing's equipment problems, but IMO airlines acceptance of DEI is asking for trouble WRT equipment and personnel.
Thank you for your replies.
Here are a few thoughts in response:
1. We should follow Reagan. He didn’t become a commie and adopt collectivist techniques to defeat the Soviets. He followed the Gospel, I.e., Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.
2. Surrender, abdication, or joining Billy Kristol and other traitors across Freedom, Inc. is also not an option. It’s a nice strawman, but no way to secure freedom.
3. I have no doubt that Dem AGs and Garland are harassing private enterprises with ridiculous documentation demands, too. They’re wrong. That doesn’t make it right for Paxton to act like a socialist AG; see #1.
4. Bidet and his Administration get beat up (rightly so) for ignoring the border. Paxton should focus his energy on that beam in his eye vs this splinter.
5. If Boeing can trace their problem to a supplier, they should seek redress via the courts. That makes it a private sector matter.
6. What is the legitimate role of the Administrative State in product liability? In theory, it is to ensure no laws were broken. DEI, at this point, isn’t illegal. It may be caustic and ponderous, but so is Springsteen and he’s still hasn’t been banned.
7. Almost as an aside, some of the data for which Paxton is asking is very likely unavailable, and he knows it if he’s a competent lawyer. In particular, private sector firms don’t track the sexual orientation of their employees in general - in fact it may be illegal to demand it (it’s ok to ask and it’s ok for the employee to say GFY). National origin may not be in all firms’ systems as well.
8. The rush to condemn DEI for every problem or accident is as stupid as blaming guns for crime. Parenthetically, we also look stupid when wrong on DEI (see Silicon Valley Bank) just like the left does every time the blame a MAGA gun nut that turns out to be a mentally ill Democrat.
9. DEI is a symptom, not a cause, of THE main problem, which is collectivism. Look at Uvalde…the cops got off with barely a slap on the wrist. Educators who groom children are protected by the union and administrators. Back in the day, bad eggs would be flushed out and strong individuals would be championed. Today, is nobody’s fault…”it’s the system.” And I’ve seen PLENTY of f-ups who look as white as me in life. Indeed, Pelosi, Schumer, Bidet, are cases in point. No rsce holds a monopoly on dumb and incompetent.
Thanks for listening,
