Oh well, I guess your anecdotal feelings supersede all of the links in that article to actual data.  That adds credibility to your asinine assertion that he wasn't a hillbilly, and that a Yale law grad is an idiot.   

The anecdata in your article was limited to what? Three companies all in the newspaper industry?

You're right though: Vance clearly isn’t a smart guy. He managed to get bankrolled by Peter Thiel and traded in his integrity to make bank.

It would have been more accurate to call him a phony. Mea culpa.

Umm, the few paragraphs I posted listed 9 companies.  All told there are at least 20 companies listed, if you bothered to click the link.

Also looking back, you've been calling Vance a "fake hillbilly" for at least a year.  Which leftist media site fed you that pablum?

You’re right: I didn’t read it. I’ve read enough about Muh DEI to know it’s a boogeyman gin up for votes. 

I’m sure many people call Vance a fake hillbilly.

Thanks for being honest.  There was enough specific data in the part I posted to be of concern to anyone who bothers to read it.  But you've got your boogeyman story.

I have no idea if some companies were unlawfully hiring less qualified minorities in the wake of 2020. I doubt that’s a thing because companies are in the business of making $. 

The POTUS who complains about DEI appointed a heroin addict as head of HHS in exchange for his endorsement. Merit!

You'd have an idea if you bothered to read what I posted.  But thanks for the red herring about RFK Jr.

You should read the recent Compact Mag article, "The Lost Generation," to learn some statistics about how many industries went ape-shiot DEI for hiring in the past 10 years or so.

Too many stats to quote; here are a few examples from media:

 

That's truly focked up. I'm even more grateful for where I work now. I find it interesting that so much of this arose in the aftermath of Floyd and BLM. Fast forward 4 years and the same companies trip over themselves to renounce it. Making money is a lowest common denominator business. Stories like this just make me even less likely to trust corporations in any capacity. Profits over people!
