    Company A: “We’re done with this DEI shit. Fire everyone browner than a paper bag and promote only the most nepotistic failkids during White Boy Summer”

    Company B: “We’re going to continue hiring and promoting on merit and… oh wow, we’ve got a bumper crop of talented, motivated LGBTQ and POC suddenly lining up outside the door.”

    Wonder what happens next

      Company A starts what we’ve discovered is essentially an inbreeding program, with extra steps. Generations of it will fail and live off large corporate bailouts, which it will later use to try eating smaller companies to appear successful from the outside to the less educated public.

        The Habsburgs prove you can keep grinding on for a while even when you’re inbreed to shit. But the notion that you need to inbreed in order to get ahead in business is borderline superstitious. Rather, large and entrenched businesses have the luxury of doing this inbred bullshit so long as their social networks can support a steady business income from monopolized industry and captured markets.

      And as a trans person I’ll also say my Costco membership isn’t going anywhere. That’d also because I have a big dog and she can’t afford est anywhere else.

          Coincidentally, I had to give a past dog pain meds after an ACL surgery, and the pills were notoriously bitter and awful. Hiding them in hotdogs worked for a little while until she tasted a pill once. We also did cheese and chicken, which again worked until she tasted a pill then didn’t trust us anymore. It was a long couple weeks.
