    Can't have a company that openly demonstrates the superiority of conservative values. Fuck "my pleasure", let's get some people in there who remind you they are doing YOU a favor by serving you.

    he's right because a vast majority of these knee-jerk reaction threads tend to lure SOMEONE (everlast) down a path they shouldnt take.

    I may have mentioned that OUR GOVERNMENT shot down SPY BALLOONS that turned out to be KIDS SCIENCE PROJECTS based on americans propensity to think before they leap. I am just here as the voice of reason.....

    I'm a supplier to Chick Fil A. I am the owner of my company and am white. We are a small company with few employees. Not diverse at all. Not that we don't try to be, it's just how the cookie crumbled. I now have to either be DEI certified, minority owned, LGBTQ owned or female owned, or a combination of these in order not to lose a significant portion of my business with them. My business with both McDonald's and Wendy's took a hit in 2022 because of the exact same thing. One of my competitors who got the business is a multi-billionaire, but he's Mandarin (minority owned). This is all to please the shareholders. It sucks.......

    I'm going to heaven for the weather and hell for the company.

    Be dangerous, unpredictable, and make a whole lot of noise.

    Don't come in here with personal experience. It diminishes the ability of the naysayers to plug their ears, stamp their feet, and pretend that everything that has happened and is happening, demonstrably, is make believe. As long as they have a label to apply to it (conspiracy theory), they can continue to sleep at night in their oblivion.

    But seriously, I'm sorry to hear this.

    That sucks. It's been happening to lawyers, accountants, and everything in between for years who have large companies for clients. I don't have a prayer of getting on certain panels because we can't find a minority lawyer to hire. I wish we could . . . been looking for years.

    “Identify” as a manly lesbian and take back your piece of the pie.

    Asians are literally the majority followed by Indians, and by a large margin, proving that honkeys are complete fukwits.

    I haven't had to deal with any of that (yet). I guess the operators don't care about DEI when their electric fryers and equipment is down and they can't sell dat shicken....

    Identify as black, most white farmers are black on paper at the FSA office because of Biden's bullshit about loan forgiveness. The DEI crowd believes you can identify as female turtle so play their game. When they squawk, tell them you will sue them for discriminating. The world has gone stupid to chase the fund managers crazy ideas.

    Just identify as trans. That should boost your clout with them.


    Why can't companies just make & sell a good product & leave this insanity out of it??? Watched an interesting video the other day where the guy was giving the low down on what's happening. Something to do with big corps & the banks that fund them. The puppet masters are on these bank boards & set the agendas for these companies & what direction they must go. Pretty interesting stuff.

    I know a particular contractor that has his multi milllion dollar business in his wife’s name for this very reason. So he can get more governmental contracts due to minority ownership. I assume it’s working considering how much he continues to grow but that’s an assumption.
