It led to abuses which were inherently racist, DEI is even worse because it includes thinks like "gender"

There is no "it all depends".. it's proven time and time again these policies are more destructive than good. Always.

This is why neither party ever keeps power - meatiger MU - 1/28 09:54:14

Costco is a private entity and should have any HR policy - Bulldog Bob Brown STL - 1/28 10:56:31

On top of that - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:00:27

If Costco wants to partner up with Sharpton let them do it - tigertix MU - 1/28 10:51:42

Suburban white white women love Sharpton- BBC - Coors4bob STL - 1/28 12:14:07

Depends on the manner of activity - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 10:38:51

It is telling (to me) that Reuters did not print the letter - Spanky KU - 1/28 10:54:55

The letter is BS, it tells Costco to end DEI and doesn’t - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 11:42:44

I agree - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 10:59:32

Is a letter from the government - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:01:37

Well, if your are breaking the law it is not a good thing - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 11:15:05

And if government tells churches they can’t discriminate - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 11:49:57

We are a country founded on respect of religion and faith - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 12:21:26

And? That doesn’t address why religion can discriminate and - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 12:36:46

It does address that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 12:49:43

No it doesn’t. You are not explaining why you think it is - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:00:20

I am saying it is because their religious faith says so - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:05:32

Again.. you dance around answering the question. Why do you - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:09:16

And agian, because I believe in the primacy of religious - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:26:52

The basic concept you can’t grasp is your subjective beliefs - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:30:25

Saying someone should be allowed to do something is not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:44:21

Government will always find ways - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:22:19

It may be part of discretion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 11:44:23

proper discretion appears to be whether you agree with - Seagull MU - 1/28 11:54:06

Not at all - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 12:22:37

depending on if the protest is a proper protest or not? (nm) - Seagull MU - 1/28 12:33:53

No, there are plenty of protests I think are improper and - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 12:50:47

Should the J6 protestors gotten the hose?(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:02:37

I believe those who were violent and destroying things - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:06:48

Because "proper" discretion - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:48:13

All discretion is basically subjective - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 12:24:09

Good judgment is subjective.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 12:40:21

Not always - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 12:51:30

It’s always subjective. There isn’t a position you have that - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:04:13

Here are positions I hold - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:08:52

Those are still subjective positions. You are mistakenly - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:19:53

That is tortured to an embarrassing extent - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:25:02

Yes, it is subjective. Do you think subjective is somehow - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:28:28

Thanks for making your position reagarding baby rape - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/28 13:46:54

what if dokey poop has nutritional value? (nm) - Seagull MU - 1/28 13:10:56

Where is this letter? - Spanky KU - 1/28 11:08:25

RE: Where is this letter? - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:13:47

RE: "The requested URL was not found on this server."(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:42:13

Thx... the Reuters article in the OP was not as generous - Spanky KU - 1/28 12:48:54

Why didn’t they show what laws Costco violated and how they - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:01:39

Do you think Costco is unaware of the court rulings - Spanky KU - 1/28 13:22:38

It’s telling (to me) that the AGs didn’t state what actions - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 13:25:19

It cited the many court cases(nm) - Spanky KU - 1/28 14:26:55

and yet, never cited a policy Costco was viloating - Seagull MU - 1/28 15:05:07

copy and paste (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 1/28 11:40:46

Those things sound good to me dei is inherently racist(nm) - AWOLTiger KC - 1/28 10:10:46

RE: Those things sound good to me dei is inherently racist(nm) - sks MU - 1/28 10:34:58

Affirmative action was the exact same - AWOLTiger KC - 1/28 10:38:51

RE: Affirmative action was the exact same - sks MU - 1/28 12:11:06

I either case - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:37:03

no - FootballRefugee MU

- 1/28 10:45:16

No. The 14th Amendment only applies to government.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 11:47:26

And the equal employment act is abolished now, right? (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 1/28 11:52:25

Not part of the Constitution(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 12:44:51

RE: Those things sound good to me dei is inherently racist(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:27:33

Costco doesn't have the power to break the law - FootballRefugee MU

- 1/28 10:45:51

RE: Costco doesn't have the power to break the law - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:48:37

that's a good questiopn - FootballRefugee MU

- 1/28 12:10:13

How is this an abuse of power? (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 1/28 09:56:40

Telling companies what they can do - meatiger MU - 1/28 09:59:52

Asking for an explanation is not telling them what to do - Spanky KU - 1/28 10:08:28

You're a good bootlicker. Defend the government - kmawv8 MU - 1/28 11:46:52

No, they are specifically telling Costco what to do without - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 11:41:10

RE: Asking for an explanation is not telling them what to do - sks MU - 1/28 10:37:20

Since Reuters didn't show the letter (or even a quote from - Spanky KU - 1/28 10:43:07

You got the letter completely wrong.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/28 11:41:37

Show me - Spanky KU - 1/28 11:47:41

RE: Show me - meatiger MU - 1/28 11:48:53

And what happens if Costco tells them to go to hell? (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 1/28 11:05:38

It is a prelude to going after them - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:10:02

Is it? - Spanky KU - 1/28 10:44:02

RE: It is a prelude to going after them - sks MU - 1/28 10:37:49

Not sure that's the case here, don't know enough about - hokie VT - 1/28 10:16:09

It says they're pressuring them to do something - Columbian Gold MU - 1/28 10:07:30

they are AGs - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:09:02

You're putting your imagination into this - Columbian Gold MU - 1/28 10:12:09

So if an AG sends you a letter - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:14:09

So if Costco decided to stop hiring African Americans you - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/28 10:02:58

why should they? - Seagull MU - 1/28 10:28:16

DH sees everything in terms of R vs D - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:30:44

how is that R vs D? (nm) - Seagull MU - 1/28 10:32:39

I was referring to DH - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:36:24

I don't think that's an R vs D issue - Seagull MU - 1/28 10:39:47

Meat has a habit of meating up threads, he's at it again (nm) - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/28 10:43:40

why didn’t you answer the question? (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/28 10:51:44

That is correct - meatiger MU - 1/28 10:07:14
