Costco said they not changing the price of the hotdogs and they not getting rid of DEI. Now you can either come get this industrial sized carton of eggs and feed your family or get the hell on.
Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Ty, a 13-year-old with autism and an intellectual disability, put a bunny in his backpack to show his friends.

Scared his toy would be confiscated, he told his teacher the school would “blow up” if anyone looked inside his bag.

He was arrested and charged with a felony — @propublica.org
A 13-year-old with autism got arrested after his backpack sparked fear. Only his stuffed bunny was inside.
Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law.

Donald Trump has said he plans to use the Department of Education to further his priorities. He also said he would close it. But is either possible? Even with his electoral victory, both options would face difficulties. nyti.ms/3UPvMlG
