Do away with DEI and quotas. Hire the most qualified.

Hi Gracie:
As a person involved in hiring and admin, may I comment on this?
DEI does NOT mean hire someone because they are black/woman/Latina/whatever.
DEI does NOT mean preference to ANY group based on ethnicity, class, gender, sexual preference.
What it DOES mean is making good-faith efforts to advertise to everyone, especially in smaller publications/venues and making an effort to encourage all people to apply, not just the largest demographics.
What it DOES mean is to enact policies at work that include under-represented groups or marginalized groups.

Are there examples of ridiculous extremes in DEI practice? Absolutely.
And note I recognize they are ridiculous, an outlier. Not the norm.
But DEI in and of itself is a concept of inclusion, not a mandate. My HR (company of over 500 employees) has never even hinted at mandates such as "you should consider [demograph X candidate first]" for hiring in any direction. I hope that is true for everyone, everywhere.

have a good day.

But! Fox and Trump tell us daily that America is about to collapse ANY! MINUTE! NOW!

Which oh which could possibly be true?

And in Texas fairly recently, people paid good money to get close enough for a good view of Cowboys stadium collapsing in Irving.
I mean: just wait until December, then you can see the annual Cowboys Collapse for free.

Where are the usual suspects to deflect and throw ketchup NOW?

BUT! So few are paying attention. THAT is what is truly frightening.
America will be a second-rate country within a month after the beginning of Trump II.

I hate msnbc but this article is 100% accurate, 100% truthful in both Trump's comments, their context, and the analysis!

The rest of the civilized world is either laughing at us or shaking their heads.

I used both Sears' Prodigy and AOL. Wow, that was primitive even in those days.

I weep for the stupidity of our nation.
That we would even CONSIDER a completely incompetent, amoral, psychopathic grifter like Donald Trump speaks volumes to the state of our nation.

I need to follow EFFETTEPOSER more.
he apparently knows what went all at the high-level meetings in Russia and Ukraine.
he also appears to be able to read the minds of both Putin and Zelensky, simultaneously!

Surely that must be the explanation for his pronouncements on this thread, right?

Former Floridian here, if you live in the central panhandle, for the love of God GET OUT NOW.

So, her old habits never really ended, just different sorts of prostitution.

The problem being still, of course, is that "the youth" are notorious for not showing up to vote.

Have no doubt:
this is America after Trump is re-elected, which he probably will be. (Thanks again for nothing, Cornel West and Jill Stein).

Get ready; 2017-2021 is NOTHING compared to what Trump II will be like.

Wow, he really is angry at Melania!

Let's post on Jill's FB page and ask her why she had dinner with Putin and Flynn in 2016!?

Of course, the answer is: Putin and the GOP are financing her campaign. Again.
I hope she chokes on the money after Trump wins again.

That is life in Abbottistan now, until Texans get a bit smarter.

ONE!QIRONY:

An affidavit is not evidence in any court, not even at the level of a joke for a lawyer.
For example, There were hundreds of "affidavits" after the 2020 election swearing there was fraud. NOT A ONE was proven valid because there was no...(wait for it!)...evidence.

My goodness; do try to lie better. Amateur lying is so 2020.

Hindustantimes, of COURSE!

Next, ROBSON will start quoting the Epoch Times and the Washington Examiner.

All that money from Elon Musk and Adelson's prostitution rings in Macau won't change anything right now. Unless there is some kind of incredible October Surprise waiting against Harris, she has a slight edge into the election. Trump, meanwhile, will continue to be his own worst enemy with incredible lies and anger every day.

-7%.
Not much of a difference.
"American Evangelical Christianity" is a sick joke, a con or rube to get money, political power, and to acquire lots of property.

That man's political career is toast, even in gerrymandered North Carolina.

That guy's political career is toast, even in gerrymandered North Carolina. Wow.

This article.
ONE party and one party only has been threatening violence non-stop since 2020. It is disingenuous to now say either "both sides do it," or more ludicrous, to blame Harris or Biden.
