Berkshire Hathaway shareholders voted to reject anti-DEI proposal from American Conservative Values ETF. Proposal: "companies often push concepts like CRT under the guise of promoting 'diversity, equity, and inclusion.'"
BRK: "Berkshire’s approach is simple – follow the law and do the right thing."

Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.
It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy.
He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.
