[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't Biden have a hand on this? He campaigned for the 2020 election on being a transition president to make sure the 2016 election won't ever be repeated again. But then his ego got on the best of him ...[/quote]

Yes. This is one of the better discussions I've seen recently - Jon Stewart and Chris Christie.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQwJuayXJ18

They discussed that the country is craving competence and obviously debated DEI from different perspectives.

One of the hopeful points they raised is that they believe that leadership will shift to the states and that governors are likely going to be on point to help stabilize the country. I've watched parts of the Hill hearings this week and so many of our leaders were performative, ill-informed, and underprepared. These are people who knew what was coming and had abundant support staff. For Dems, there was little (any?) strategy or coordination, which is ridiculous. And some of the Republican questions were just laughable.

I've been reflecting about DEI a lot, and I think our country is in trouble mainly about the "E".  We have so many threads on here fighting about what is "fair" to whatever group, how to create an even playing field.  While I think it's appropriate to strive to equal the playing field as much, it is nearly impossible to achieve alignment on equity. For this group, how can one take out the advantage of a wealthy family in a child's educational path? Wealth can affect ALL elements of the college application process - grades, tests, essays, etc. I think the answer is to focus instead more on the "I" - promoting people to be the most authentic versions of themselves, accepting them as such, and spending a lot more energy as a nation on productivity and innovation. All this social fighting, controlling, and engineering is spinning us up and is threatening our national security.
