The kind of pragmatist who is forever agitated by people who seek affirmation, not truth.

Now it will be those who did NOT take the loans, spend the money, receive the education, or reap the benefits of that education who will be paying the cost. Next time you're at the grocery store tell the person standing behind you that they must pay for your groceries because... you know... socialism.

BREAKING: @AldiUSA promises to break the law and discriminate against straight white people in their hiring. They’re looking to hire a procurement specialist and will prioritize everyone except straight white people.

They’re also committed to following the principles of DEI. @USEEOC

DEI is illegal and racist.

[Bill Haines @WiseMonkeyGuy]

Would love your thoughts on this: To get rid of DEI we need to replace it with something else. That something else needs to use equally simple and appealing words while expressing a set of ideas that are actually sound.
I suggest: TIE- Tolerance, Individualism, Equality

Tolerance rather than Inclusion. We want all to be tolerant of different characteristics, lifestyles, and opinions, but insist that no one be pressured to celebrate or promote those things on behalf of others.
We want to live and let live.

Individualism rather than Diversity. We want each individual to be judged not by their immutable characteristics but by their demonstrated behaviors, by their generation of value that is appreciated by others, by their adherence to the rule of law, and by a range of human traits that we agree are admirable and wise such as kindness, generosity, contribution, working hard, self-restraint, patience, modesty, and more. (Suggestions welcome.)
We want to be judged by our actions as individuals.

Equality rather than Equity. We want to provide equal opportunity under the law, not overt or covert systems that handicap or advantage some because of pre-made presumptions about privilege or disadvantage. We all start from different places, at different times, with different talents, capabilities, resources, and experiences. We cannot change these starting points nor guarantee the ending point. But we can assure that the rules will be the same for all such that each may travel as far as they are able.
We want equal treatment for all.

Of course, this merely echoes principles with long standing. But the TIE acronym gives it a friendly ring, e.g.: the TIEs that bind us as people.

The words of DEI sound pretty and appealing. We need an alternative that is equally pretty and appealing, but one that expresses sound principles. I suggest: TIE- Tolerance, Individualism, Equality

Of course, this merely echos principles with long standing. But the TIE acronym gives it a contemporary ring and suggests that these are core principles that can TIE us together.

Thoughts?
