DEI = Racism

[Devo182]

Do DEI policies foster racism? Further do they foster tribalism and division?

Those with current inequitable advantages and privileges would probably twist things and sell it to you in such a way.

"Woe is us" that have all the privileges...please don't take them away for equity

But just take note who those folks are that will try to sell you this line @SpaceCoastVol. You'll see a certain trend of who they are and represent...

It's proof that having a college degree doesn't make somebody smart.

There are technicians/craft with no college degree I work with that are far more intelligent and competent than many "college-educated" engineers I've come across.

Not 100% of the time, but frequently, the further one goes in our modern university system the dumber and less capable.

Our "Education" system is really just an indoctrination system.

EXCLUSIVE: NASA Staff Beg Elon Musk to 'clean house' after agency Spent Millions of Americans' Money on DEI Agenda​

NASA staff are calling on Elon Musk to 'clean house' as it is revealed the agency blew millions of taxpayer money on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Spending reports from 2020 to 2024 showed NASA awarded grants to universities and consulting firms to support 'environmental justice' and initiatives that 'embrace greater diversity and inclusive practices.'

LMI consulting received over $2 million in 2023 for NASA to 'embark on a venture to incorporate and deeply engrain diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility in the culture and business.'


Another $3 million went to Booze Allen Hamilton in March to support NASA's 'office of diversity and equal opportunity DEI data analytic specialty,' and $ 7 million was announced last month for six 'minority-serving institutions.'

Amid these expenditures, staff have voiced concerns online about budget shortages, citing struggles with 'limited funds' due to 'wasteful spending.' Software engineer Kyle Sorensen told he hopes Musk will 'clean house.'

Selection based on “Merit” may be the most fascist, racist thing I’ve heard all year. Sounds like something Goebbels and the Nazis would have schemed up….

Elon Musk and other DEI critics are latching on to ‘MEI,’ a new hiring catchphrase

Experts say it misses the point.

Why in the world would private corps need to explain themselves to non-investor Americans?

Yep. The Dylan Mulvaney incident is the case study. I couldn't care less what happens to ImBev because I'm not an investor.

The judge handling Boeing's plea deal asks Justice Department to explain its diversity policy

The federal judge considering Boeing’s plea deal with prosecutors wants to know how the Justice Department’s diversity, equity and inclusion policies would affect the selection of an independent monitor to oversee the aerospace company.

apnews.com

What could possibly go wrong with “racial quotas” at a major Aerospace & Defense firm…

Boeing’s website, he added, “touts its commitment ‘to creating a culture of inclusion’ and ‘set of aspirations’ it will strive to achieve by 2025 to advance equity and diversity and build a culture of inclusion,” including racial quotas and hiring more Black workers.

Shareholders. Americans. Those not woketards.+

Customers, consumers, decent people.

This is why DEI doesn't work on highly technical jobs... you think someone with minimal experience and lack of motivation is going to buck the system?

Follow the $$$. Has the federal gov't been using our tax money to financially support racist hiring practices?

Work Opportunity Tax Credit | Internal Revenue Service

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is available to employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups who have faced barriers to employment.

www.irs.gov

Corporations really wouldn't waste money on DEI programs unless it was financially beneficial to their bottom line, thus the Federal gov't supplementing them:





Folks, for the majority of you, your government is forcibly taking your tax money and using it against you, to pay companies to hire less qualified people than you.

How's that for a kick in the beans?

Yeah I’d support that decision.

So far, no big deal...just planes crashing and/or falling apart mid-air.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Yeah I’d support that decision.

There is ZERO reason for him to make that a public statement. I know juuuuuuuuust a little about this.

But I 'm old school. Regardless, I will become unsafe to make those kinds of decisions in another 7 months.

DEI is big business. It’s a $30 Billion a year industry.

They won’t easily relinquish this corporate gravy train.

You clearly have no idea about the WOTC program. It has been (and its predecessor) has been around for over 30 years.

It has NOTHING to do with race. It provides a benefit for companies that hire food stamp recipients, unemployed veterans, diaabled veterans, long term unemployed, at risk youth, etc....

You are lost on this

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Yep.

My household is probably about as knowledgeable about this program as anyone in America. It has NOTHING TO do with race or sexual orientation. It has to do with hiring disadvantaged employees....

The biggest increase in the history of this program was under Trump and Bush 2....
