Trump Placed all Diversity equity, and inclusion staff on paid leave. Eventual Lay Off

[mogandave]

I think it great that Trump is attempting to remove all the DEI nonsense from the federal government and all the schools that accept funding from the federal government and all the companies that do business with the federal government.

The price is the same everywhere in the world.

 

The price is not the same everywhere in the world and has increased not decreased!
 

The recent surge in egg prices is not politically driven but stems from the bird flu outbreak, which has also been detected in cows, raw milk, and subsequently infected cats.

However, Trump, much like during COVID—when he undermined health agencies such as the CDC—is once again politically interfering.
 

Previously, Biden's CDC provided guidance to producers, agencies, and hospitals on responding to the bird flu outbreak. Trump, however, has now imposed a blanket communication ban on the CDC, halting critical updates amidst a crisis that has already resulted in the deaths of over 130 million birds in the U.S.

This move raises significant concerns about public health and safety as the epidemic continues to impact egg prices and poses a growing threat to human health.
 

Trump’s administration has promoted laissez-faire food and agricultural policies, including advocating for raw milk despite its health risks. Such policies, coupled with his current restrictions, risk exacerbating the crisis—threatening chicken, egg and milk production and prices while increasing the potential for the bird flu to spread further, including to humans.

DEI is discriminatory. Anyone who hasn't been indoctrinated into the radical progressive left's ideology can see this as clear as day.  

Yes, discriminatory in the recognition that a correction to the American reality was needed. I am certainly open to, in fact, welcome a review of all law/regulations in a logical manner. What I oppose is an arbitrary and capricious dismissal without that logic applied first. There is a reason a law/regulation is implemented to address a recognized issue. So, I would look at what was that issue? Has the law/regulation effectively dealt with the issue? If not, does it need “tweaking”, supplemental amending or a new law/regulation? If the original need is no longer present or if the original law/regulation is not needed … then end it. Is there no need for diversity, equity, inclusion in the USA? Reflecting on my experience, I am hearing that there is not enough diversity, equity and inclusion in academics … that more conservative voices are needed?
