Agreed! Homogeneity, inequity, and exclusion are core principles of conservative America. Merit is the only means by which others should be judged, their achievements a testament to their productivity and usefulness. And if that means hiring less minorities and excluding lesser people who aren’t a good cultural fit because of “the system” or whatever, then so be it. The few that make it through will prove to everyone else that, if they submit to the grind, they too can succeed.

Are you really trying to imply minority groups have less merit? Do you want your surgeon to be merit based or diversity based? Do you want your pilots to be blind because they are underrepresented in airline pilots?

That’s literally the implication of dismantling DEI initiatives. Because no DEI program sacrificed merit for diversity. A diverse candidate qualifies on merit first then other characteristics.

…you know what? Yeah, why not? What’s the difference began a good minority surgeon and a good majority surgeon? It’s not like stitches are going to stitch themselves. And better someone who won’t dismiss my pain because of my skin color than someone who will.
And if there are technologies that allow blind pilots to perform at the level of seeing pilots, then…actually I hate flying altogether so I’ll sit this one out.
Michigan should get its shit together end vote for new leadership, however they vote in the same bs every year expecting things to change
The question to ask is why they don’t vote differently. It’s too easy to say they’re stupid, brainwashed, it’s the deep state, it whatever. None of those actually helpful. How do you get stupid people to vote differently if you think they’re too stupid to do so?
Instead, what’s the Republican party offering in Michigan and why aren’t voters taking it?
If you haven’t, you should read Smedley Butler’s War Is A Racket, which was written in 1935. US wars have been waged for bullshit reasons for at least a century.

That’s impossible when the opportunities to even be prepared for opportunities is unequal. The children in San Francisco’s most prestigious private schools (itself a function of wealth) aren’t drinking leaded water like public school attending kids in Flint, Michigan.

I actually agree with you, even for some of the same reasons.
