Procurement talks a lot about supplier diversity.
But what about internal diversity?

Procurement’s unspoken rules still reward class over competence.
Accent, background, postcode ≠ potential.
It’s time we redefine what “professional” really looks like.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Everyone says AI will break procurement.
But what if AI simply stops the chaos and gives us time to:
think
explore
lead?
The real shift will be how it'll shape the kind of professionals we become.

When people gain real power – knowledge, tools, stability – they don’t burn things down.
They build.
Maybe AI won’t break us.
Maybe it’ll give us space to think, create, and lead better.

Never heard of a country where thousands of people with NO criminal record get sent to prision to another country by a guy who does.
And what does that one guy decide to focus on: Shower pressure.
Making Showers Great again.🙄

Tariffs are good in theory but always end in disaster in practice.
History proved this time&again:
-The Smoot-Hawley Tariff worsened the Great Depression
-Reagans 80s tariffs on Japan hurt US carmakers
-Trumps China tariffs raised costs for Americans
Hopefully this time around the lesson sticks

If Elon thinks standing with Ukraine makes me a traitor, then he knows nothing about keeping America safe.

So the US has officially joined a global human rights watchlist, right up there with Serbia, Pakistan & Congo.

It's a blaring alarm that civil liberties are crumbling under Trump’s second term. The world is watching and the company the US is keeping should scare everyone
