Biden's efforts to push it in the private sector and Trump's to eliminate it in the private sector are both overreaches. The govt does not belong in the business of telling or even incentivizing business in the area of social engineering, in any direction.

DOGE looks like a shitshow, but narrowing the govt's scope of operations in stuff like this would be a refreshing improvement. If you like DEI, do DEI. If you don't, don't do DEI. Seems an entirely private sector thing. Govt has no place in it, and our tax dollars should not be spent in advocacy for or against it.

Equality shouldn’t be voluntary. That’s what governments are for. To ensure people get equality under the law.

Want to get rid of DEI? Only when you have actual equal opportunity.
