COSTCO's DEI tone-deafness

Original Article

Posted By: Msquared112, 12/30/2024 7:06:27 AM

It seems COSTCO has not gotten the message and is doubling down on its DEI policies while other large companies and many small ones are jettisoning their DEI programs. As if this were not enough, COSTCO is threatening its shareholders with lawsuits if they do not jump as high as the DEI devils want. Right now: "The proposal noted that while Costco has changed around the names of its DEI initiatives, they remain rather unchanged in practice. “With 310,000 employees, Costco likely has at least 200,000 employees who are potentially victims of this type of illegal discrimination because they are white, Asian, male or straight,”...

I don't pay to be able to go to Costco, so I guess I don't really care what they do. If they are happy hiring and promoting people because of their color let them . Like I say I don't pay to shop there anyway.

I've been a Costco customer for about 30 years now. Even though I detest Walmart, I think I'll give Sam's club a try. The attitudes at Costco has changed for the worse over the last few years.

Keep in mind that Costco headquarters is in Washington state, just one of the nests of loony, loopy, extreme leftists in our country.

It's not "tone-deafness". It's money. Whomever said, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." was deflecting attention away from malice. Either directly from Fed subsidies that come with strings, or indirectly through state government subsidies, or it is the agendas of BlackRock, Vanguard, or State Street, all of which have enough of an ownership in all the major public companies across media/entertainment, retail, military equipment. stock exchanges, telecom, airlines, health care, energy, etc. to be able to suggest to the board of directors "suggesting" they implement diversity programs by structuring management bonuses for achieving goals.

The speech Trump should give at his next rall 3 replies

President Trump can handle himself just fine, but I would especially love to see him win over the Black community bigly and sweep this election handily. To this end, I humbly offer the Trumpster the following speech for his perusal: “Americans of all colors, I have a message for you. Are you tired of being talked down to by white people or black people affecting phony black or Southern accents? Are you tired of violence in your neighborhoods and are you tired of being unable to call the cops because Democrats have cut services and defunded the police?

The American media and political class have a new mantra: Conservatives and Republicans are weird. We’re weird? Seriously? They can say that with a straight face? I’ll tell you what’s really weird. What’s weird is men in women’s clothing, sometimes with mustaches, being placed in high positions in our government. Some of them steal suitcases and clothing. What’s weird is Drag Queen Story Hour, where men dressed as women, often in scanty prosti-suits, gyrating on stage for very young boys and girls, are accompanied by their approving parents.

Talk about failing upward. Recent reports that everyone’s favorite Vice President is about to enjoy a major career enhancement should remove any doubt of a divine power intent upon intervening on America’s behalf. Nixon had his Ford insurance policy to shield against impeachment. The thought of that dummy becoming president was supposed to shield against Nixon’s enemies defenestrating him. How well did that work out? Saint Kamala of California was supposed to be Biden’s Ford. It is beginning to look like this analogy is becoming more true than anyone could have anticipated.

POTATUS (hat tip to BEEGE WELBORN of Hot Air) is suddenly persona non grata after his strabismus-inducing debate performance. Well, maybe not so suddenly. Everyone with a scintilla of firing neurons knew that Joe Biden was not all there. Excuses to the contrary fall on bored and jaded ears. The media made their Biden-bed and now that they are forced to lie in it, they pretend that we put the bedbugs in it. No, their own dirt attracted those bedbugs, so they have no excuse for blaming anyone else.
The deliberate murder of virtue 5 replies
Posted by Msquared112 7/3/2024 8:15:53 AM Post Reply
For decades, the American Left has been making a deliberate and successful attempt to kill virtue. Much of what they do demonstrates a disregard for normal traditional American virtues such as decency, consideration, productivity, respect, decorum, honor, and moderation. The truly virtuous would never dream of announcing their sexual preferences in public. The only reason to do that is to draw attention to yourself and your private parts. Every year, San Francisco offers a sickening public street festival called Up Your Alley for the gay bondage, discipline and sadomasochism subculture. If you dare to look it up (I cannot bring myself to include the link), beware. Just … beware.

I am worried about President Trump. Now that he has demolished Joe Biden in this week's presidential debate, many on the Left would like to see him vanish. Democrats are desperate, and likely to try to stop him by fair means or foul. This tweet from RealClearPolitics founder and CEO Tom Bevan, a hard realist who doesn't go into hysterics, is hard to disagree with: (snip) ...it is no secret that assassins are out there (look up “arkancide” and then when you're done with that, ask why security cameras were “malfunctioning” when Epstein “hung himself” in his jail cell.)

Joe Biden’s three-and-a-half-year long porous border has without a doubt allowed some vicious terrorists to enter our country. The odds demand it. It cannot be otherwise, given that almost zero care is being given to Americans and keeping these demons out. For Biden’s reign of error so far, Americans were lied to by Mayorkas and Karine Jean-Pierre, to name only two, that “the border is secure,” “the border is closed,” and “we are watching the border.” Yes, that last was true, they were watching the border; they watched it vacuum up migrants from other countries into our sovereign land and did nothing to stop it.

The current trend of deeply annoying movie music 24 replies

If you do any amount of movie or TV series streaming via Netflix, Prime or other channels, you may have noticed a truly annoying trend of loud, inappropriate songs in the background of what you’re watching. The singers are almost always bad and the lyrics almost always totally wrong for the content of the movie or series you're watching. I was watching a murder-mystery thriller movie on Prime and suddenly a soundtracker bursts into loud, raucous songs about something utterly unrelated to the plot. I have noticed this trend mostly in the last five years but lately, it has been enough to make me hit the mute button.

This isn’t necessarily the EPA’s fault. It’s simply how the system operates...and that needs to change. The grossly misnamed Inflation Reduction Act included handing $40 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency for it to allocate to organizations that promise to help save the environment from climate change.

oe Biden took a cheap shot at President-elect Trump in his remarks Sunday evening in St. Croix on the death of former President Jimmy Carter. (Photo) When asked by a reporter what Trump could take from Carter, Biden flashed a Carter-esque toothy smile while saying “decency” three times and then went on a brief diatribe comparing Carter to Trump. The reporter squeezed the question in as White House press wranglers were trying to shut down Biden and the assembled reporters and end the press availability. The reporter’s question was partially lost in cross talk, “Is there (anything?) President Trump could take from President Carter?” Biden answered:

Democrats are boasting that Jimmy Carter's death could overshadow Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration due to a long upheld tradition. Standard protocol states that all flags should be flown at half mast at federal buildings for 30 days following the death of a former president. Carter, the 39th U.S. President, died at 100 years old on Sunday afternoon, almost two years after entering hospice care and just 22 days before Trump's inauguration on January 20. Outspoken MAGA critics and Democrat voters have quipped that the half mast flags during such a pivotal moment are Carter's parting gift to Trump after their longstanding feud.

Not the bird flu that's been around for decades, but a new one that infects livestock and could possibly mutate into a killer virus much worse than COVID.COVID fascist Deborah Birx has been on the case for months, advocating that we test cattle for bird flu. In fact, Birx is trying to stoke panic.Birx isn't the only member of the old gang itching for a reunion. Trump's CDC director, Robert Redfield, has been preaching doom via bird flu for months.

Climate alarmists like President Joe Biden assure us that all we need do to avert the destruction of hurricanes—or at least to lessen it—is to sacrifice offerings to the climate gods by giving up our gas-guzzling internal combustion engines and paying indulgences to Al Gore or something. You see, humans as a species have sinned, and we must sacrifice our prosperity to prevent the end of the world. Unfortunately for the alarmists, the world stubbornly refuses to end, and even the supposed evidence they trot out as proof of impending doom doesn’t exactly mean what they think it means.
