No! No! No! Attitudes like that are precisely what DEI is trying to eliminate. People are not "bad rubbish" just because they are different from you. :sad:

The policies are the rubbish, not the people.

DEI has everything to do with equal protection. It has nothing to do with "unmerited" hires. It is intended to reduce the hires (of qualified people) based on the majority's looks and beliefs. It's intended to encourage the employer to consider trying to ensure their workforce exemplifies diversity, equity, and inclusion and is not just based on the looks and beliefs of the applicants that are prevalent in the existing workforce.

"There's no fool like an old fool." 

 

It's about compulsion, not consideration.

And, DEI discourages employment based on age. 😉

lol no no no what?   DEI is contrary to nature and as such it is unsustainable.   How happy would you be on an aircraft if you knew the pilot only qualified because people with down's syndrome were currently under represented as  commercial airline pilots?

Employing people based on race or gender

 

and not ABILITY or education ( don't give me the bs someone can't afford higher education - I worked 2 PT jobs to pay for my education ) is insanity.

 

When I owned a store, I joined / sponsered the intern program of a local high school. The kids were MOTIVATED to learn, I had 1 boy and 2 girls as interns. Color or religion was of no concern to me - motivation / ability was the factor.

A person with Down's Syndrome would not be qualified to fly a plane. A person of a minority race, gender, or even transgender might be qualified. If they are, they should be considered for the job.

Hopefully, that will be a movement of the majority to the left, so I won't be so far left... 😉

"considered" sure that's perfectly ok  but not given or guaranteed  a job because they are "special" at the expense of a more capable "normal " person.  If I was running a business I would expect to employ who ever I wanted without explaining myself to somebody like you

"Considered" is all that DEI asks. It doesn't require you to employ someone you don't want.

I was thinking more along the lines of a early term blood test and appropriate termination

Or a stronger vaccine for the next pandemic.

Apparently they are all on a sex strike so we'll not need to worry about the next generation of lefty weirdos as they won't be born at all.

Can't force change through the law, when it's obviously BS. Employing people based on race or gender was never going to work if the people employed were not able to do the job.

 

In NZ there was a female captain when her navy ship foundered after running aground. I never heard of a NZ navy ship with a male captain running aground in my entire life.

Was it bad luck or incompetence? I know what I think, but I suspect the inquiry will have a different outcome from what I want. The fix is in, and it's not going to be good for anyone.

 

In the US, happily the biggest attempt at DEI in history was foiled as the potential POTUS was shown up to be a babbling incompetent, though it's scary that she still got as many votes as she did.

A statistical sample of one proves your case?

 

You should be careful choosing who to fly with. In the US, 5% of airline pilots are female. Air India is even more, 10%.

 

Your misogyny is based on your experience with one Thai woman, it is hardly rational.

 

What's scary is the nation with the world's most powerful military is either going to be led by a narcissistic sociopath, or a cabal of oligarchs.

The medical term for someone with an IQ of less than 84 is "moron." I suggest some of you take the time to research McNamara's morons, a cohort who were drafted to the Vietnam War and who suffered higher casualty rates as they didn't have the brains to assess risk.

it can affect the whole organisation. Stock prices, dividends, and survival of the business are important. 

those things are indeed important to most people who live the in the real world  However, to the advocates of this DEI insanity who either live in the protected environment of low quality "universities" or who are "employed" in non-jobs funded by the taxpayer or who simply live off benefits,  none of the things you mention have any meaning whatsoever

Perhaps that is the answer for the leftists in the here and now.

 

Send them to war and put them on the front lines.

 

Make sure to include the old/elderly leftists…ya know…to be inclusive.

  Was it because they couldn't assess risk, or was it because they were considered sacrificial because they were morons?

 

Not meant to be a pointed question.  I don't claim to know.

Monday is MLK jr DAY, a National Holiday !  Its also Inauguration Day for the 47th POTUS.

How fitting it would be for 47 to Quote a famous line , in his address to the nation ,that flys in the face of the Cultural Marxist, plan of DEI ,where people  judge people based on the color of their skin and not on the content of their character. That being said ,DEI  puts character and merit achievement second.

 

MLKjr:"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
