Has Jamie Diamond caused anyone here to do a little self reflecting besides myself ?

Says the person who, with zero evidence, assumes a minority was promoted over her snowflake for no good reason other than skin color.

Is the unchecked "hate" in the room?

Hi op.

The problem is today’s Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party of 10 or 20 years ago.

Today’s Democrats are The Left. There are few to no reasonable people left in the Democratic Party.

Sock puppeting your troll thread? Your weird punctuation and spacing gives you away. Who pays you? Russia? Israel? Be less obvious.

Not really true. The democratic leadership of today are basically traditional liberals - Biden, Harris, Jeffries, Schumer. You do not see the fringe left that you are complaining about in positions of power. On the other hand, MAGA has completely subsumed the GOP and it makes the Tea Party fringe of 10 ears ago look pretty moderate by comparison.

I have been reflecting on it a lot.

- Did it really make sense for me to encourage my daughter to pursue her interest in college and thereby get a useless degree that she can not find employment in ? Instead she had to fall back on teaching HS with dismal wages and scant possibilities of buying a home in the next 10 yrs. Why did I not try harder to encourage her to think about the job possibilities instead of being such a pushover. Her only hope is to get the student loans dismissed after public service.

- OTOH my Son with an advanced engineering degree and almost 10 yrs experience was recently passed over for promotion in lieu of a lesser qualified minority with only a BS from a second rate school and less than half his experience on the job. His company explicitly began hiring based on DEI a few yrs back. It's so infuriating that after $220,000 in student loans, mostly straight A's, dedicated and enthusiastic employee is being overlooked because he can't change his skin color. How can my son even compete ?

- My husband bought a new Ford EV truck and mid-size travel trailer in March. We own land near the beach in South Carolina that we were looking forward to visiting during the summer. It turned out to be like a comedy movie. What should have taken us 6 hours drive time turned into 14 hours after having to charge the battery 3 times. Why didn't the salesman tell us the extra tow weight would zapp the battery that much !! We were all so disgusted that we traded the truck in at Myrtle Beach for a regular gasoline engine for the trip home. I think all this climate talk and the EV rebates has gotten ahead of reality.

This is not how DEI works. Even with DEI policies, which only encourage diversity in hiring, POC and women still have to be MORE qualified than white men, only to be paid less and overlooked for promotions. The whining by morons like you about any attempt at EQUALITY is beyond tiresome. You are a pathetic liar.

So your kids have hundreds of thousands in debt and you own land near the beach?? And you bought a Ford EV? You need to up your trolling skills. Pretty lame.

Yes. Democrats tend to see the world as they wish it was, whereas Republicans see it more realistically. That’s why they keep falling for ridiculous scams like Socialism, rehabilitation of hardened criminals, & thinking people can be trusted not to take advantage of government generosity. The result is sidewalks filled with homeless, sanctuary cities going in debt, criminal recidivism etc.

Speaking of falling for scams, Republicans have a major politician who sells $100 NFTs of himself photoshopped into hero poses, megastars that say one thing on TV, then go into court and admit that they were lying (Hannity, Jones, Carlson), and scams like trickle down economics, tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, the War on Drugs, and ICE only going after hardened criminals. Let’s not pretend Republicans see things any more clearly.

Plus you encouraged your daughter to get a useless degree even though you were not paying for it? Why would she take your advice?

OP, I just want to say I feel and validate the hate you are receiving on this Board. I don’t get either other than you are tangential criticizing DEI, which I agree is rampant in large corporations.

But, the truck is on you. I would never buy a new model like this until it had 3-5 year track record, especially from Ford.

DEI is “rampant in large corporations” because study after study after study has shown that DEI improves profitability. Period.

Plz cite a few of those studies.

https://mbs.edu/news/why-diverse-teams-are-more-profitable

https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/diversity-and-inclusion/diversity-matters-even-more-the-case-for-holistic-impact

https://online.uncp.edu/degrees/business/mba/general/diversity-and-inclusion-good-for-business/

McKinsey study has been called into question.

Gartner seems to be saying that outsourcing to Asia IT to get more diversity makes you more profitable(both their methodology is not clear). Duh? Foreign labor is cheaper.

Other studies from controlled environments purporting to show diversity leads to better decisions have suffered from methodological flaws and non-replication.

Here’s the thing: if DEI really leads to more profitability and better decision making, you already have the best lab to test and prove the theory: if your theory is correct, the market will punish those actors who don’t adhere. But for some reason you guys need to push this with crappy studies rather than letting the market sort it out.

Ma’am this is a Wendy’s.

Seriously - Dems are the nice ones. Not sure what planet you’re on. That’s exactly what Dimon said, they have big hearts and little brains.

Also, this is DCUM and no one is nice. Be realistic.

You're part of the problem. You immediately go after a person's net worth and wealth when you don't like what they say. As if they can't have a valid opinion if they have money.

Drop the jealousy. It's tiresome.

OP I guess you proved the quote correct if you are a Dem. As one myself, no way would I invest 60K on an electric truck without doing some serious research like looking at the range.

You seem to be able to buy a truck, sell it back to the dealer and get another one without even looking at the website for the range.

That was not a well thought out move. You could clearly afford to make that mistake. I do not have the money to do it and do weeks of research before I buy something.

Perhaps the take home message is too much money regardless of party means you waste things.

PS I am a teacher and went to a lowly state school on a scholarship so I could buy a house. It can happen, if you are willing to plan.

Of course they can have an opinion. Anyone can have an opinion. But having money doesn't mean his opinion is superior to anyone else's. In fact it could be wrong. Because, you know, opinion.

I immediately dismissed the OP because he does not respect the work that his daughter does in an incredibly important job as a teacher. It must be very depressing for her to know that her father does not respect her work. and to watch as here dad buys a Ford EV and land at the beach. Maybe he could help her buy a house so that she can continue to follow her passion and enjoy life (if it means so much to him that she have a house). But no, it's more important to go out to the beach with the trailer and Ford EV truck and rag on how his daughter can't buy a house. But I do have to say that it was fun to read this poor attempt at trolling.
