Depends on your definition of normal, doesn't it?
But this is a good sign...
According to NPR and other sources, Walmart, the world's largest retailer, is rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, joining a growing list of major corporations that have done the same after coming under attack by conservative activists.
The changes, confirmed by Walmart on Monday, are sweeping and include everything from not renewing a five-year commitment for an equity racial center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd, to pulling out of a prominent gay rights index. And when it comes to race or gender, Walmart won't be giving priority treatment to suppliers.
Walmart's moves underscore the increasing pressure faced by corporate America as it continues to navigate the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June 2023 ending affirmative action in college admissions. Emboldened by that decision, conservative groups have filed lawsuits making similar arguments about corporations, targeting workplace initiatives such as diversity programs and hiring practices that prioritize historically marginalized groups.

I can imagine lots of companies being afraid of the left being in charge so they basically did what they were told.
ReplyDeleteNow with those morons out of the picture these companies can become 'normal' again.
That's what happens in dictatorships: everybody has to do what they're told.
Windvanes. No ethical, moral, or strategic vision, simply "what seems popular". Target has permanently lost some percentage of its past base; so has Bud, Gillette (P&G), etc. As a former boss if mine said regularly, a private company can ignore the quarterly inquisitions- and that's a huge strategic advantage.
ReplyDeleteNormal, the lunatics do not get to define that. This oops we changed excuse is cute. We have experienced a rash of problems with proper definitions of many words over the last few decades. Words like secure, border , woman, man, safe, healthy and democracy. Just to name a few. From here on out these folks are going to have to pass an IQ test and submit their personal dictionary in order to understand them properly. We can enjoy listening to the lunatics that screech about their enemies being unkawwallaphied for the job, what ever that is... That advise is almost worth the effort used to speak .
