There are a few reasons (and one primary one) why so many companies are pulling back their DEI initiatives, but consumer sentiment is definitely not one of them. Support for companies engaging in DEI is up 5 percentage points YoY (per CivicScience)

With all the higher-ed loathing from the right in recent years, has there been a single Trump appointee that doesn't have a college degree, or even a non-prestigious one? It's as if Trump believes a college education is essential to being "the best and brightest."

You cant say you’re only hiring the best and brightest while stacking govt with your political supporters. There are 100M Blacks & Hispanics in the U.S. 78M voted for Trump. You’d have better odds finding a qualified candidate if you only hired minorities than if you only hired Trump supporters.

Few if any National Anthems will ever hold up against Chris Stapleton’s at the Super Bowl, especially since he played and sang it live, but Coco Jones just did an all-time prerecorded rendition at the National Championship game.

How is it possible that I still haven't found an effective synonym for the verb "trump" over the past ten years? It's editorial torture.

Maybe the Steelers are merely a textbook example of the Third Generation Principle of family-owned businesses and why they fail. There's some "Innovator's Dilemma" in there too. All-in-all, a classic case of organizational decline most business school grads could diagnose.

This is kind of a self-own. If you believe that strongly about it, quit using them altogether. Otherwise, acknowledge that you’re willing to completely sell out your principles because you’re addicted to using a social media app. Or just admit that you’re not all that pissed off in the first place.

It's also worth noting that a plurality of Americans, including a large percentage of Democrats, lack confidence in our ability to combat climate change - with little sign of change over time. The growing "lack of concern" might reflect a degree of emotional surrender.
