  • But it…didn’t have to be legislated, and wasn’t. MAGA and racists and Republicans made inclusion policies the bogeyman scapegoat for everything. You know, like someone who would make a false statement such as “corporate America has spent the last 15 years hiring people based on their race instead of their qualifications”. That was never a thing.

    Also, I said “they could reach a broader scope of people”, it’s not just about the money. Companies weren’t required to implement these policies, they simply benefitted from them. And not always in terms of metrics like profits you can easily prove are the direct result of these policies. Amplifying voices and perspectives to reach people your company might not otherwise is valuable, but you can certainly run a profitable company without doing it.

    Last thing I’ll say is all your comments mischaracterize diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, either ignorantly or intentionally. Please stop watching Fox News…

    “Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion”, which part don’t you understand? Companies encouraged different perspectives so they could reach a broader scope of people and make more money. No one’s hiring an inferior candidate to do worse work lol.

    Now, using cheaper parts, subscription services for everything, customer lock-in, soldered-on, unrepairable parts, focusing only on short-term profits, removing survices while increasing prices… That race to the bottom all definitely contributes to this current “profit at all costs, screw the consumer” environment…

    Wow, personal insults, classy. And “people who did what they could”…? Are we reading the same words?? I’m calling out my fellow Americans who decided not to do all they could. Those who literally didn’t do the absolute minimum to prevent all of this: gestures broadly at the everything by voting. And I’m not acting above it or anything. Maybe I should have done more outreach? Apparently we didn’t hammer home the dire consequences clearly enough…?

    Still, what in my rant makes you think I’m targeting anyone who made any effort at all?? I’m saying to people who did nothing: they and we need to do better. We literally won’t have a country anymore otherwise…

    Oh, come on. About 90 million people listened to everyone and their (non-conservative) mother say how this might be the most important election, Trump won’t give up his power, they’re going to enact Project 2025, it’ll be nothing but a revenge tour, they’re fascists, a second Trump administration is an existential threat to this country, Trump is compromised, this administration will end American democracy, the people who stood in his way last time aren’t around any more, etc… 90 million people heard this… then still chose to stay home and let this happen. I’m sorry Biden/Harris didn’t sweep us off our feet, but we deserve this. Don’t you dare say we “tried” voting against it.

    If Did Not Vote had been a candidate:
