They were probably referring to possible DEI people running the ship and the port authority.
Exactly. See my post above at #15.
It is a given with the mayor that he is a DEI/Affirmative Action hire, given his track record as a Democrat in a Democrat-run Hell Hole.
But for me, I look at everything from the Port Authority, to the pilots, to the marine inspectors, right down to the mechanics actually performing maintenance.
Somewhat off-topic, if I can be candid, there are a lot of low-information “conservatives” out there chanting DEI every time something goes kaboom.
The biggest example was Silicon Valley Bank. There was some midtier risk manager who was flying her diversity flag on LinkedIn. The low information types saw that, and blamed her for the collapse. They even called her SVB’s chief risk officer, despite the fact that she was in the UK, AND that SVB lacked a CRO for months.
The mob kept chanting “DEI” and looked like idiots. And made us look like we can’t do basic research.
There haven’t even been funerals for the construction workers killed in the bridge collapse, and dopes on our side are acting like knee-jerk leftists after a shooting.
Diversity in the Christian sense, where we are all equal before God and you should treat your brother with kindness and respect, is wonderful. I’ve worked with people from all over the world: there are bright blacks, whites, and folks from Asia and idiots in those camps as well. Groupthink is a bad thing.
If you really want to beat up DEI, Bud Light is THE case study. This bridge collapse? It’s premature to blame DEI at best, and frankly the overlap with the mob on the SVB diversity bandwagon has zero credibility.
