Business Is Booming for DEI Lawyers as Corporate America Asks ‘What’s Legal?’-Bloomberg

Some companies are cutting back on DEI initiatives while others are disbanding them altogether. Many more are hurriedly reconfiguring their policies, striving to avoid lawsuits from conservative activists as they attack diversity programs.

That’s led to a flurry of requests for audits from law firms and consultancies who specialize on diversity in the workplace.

This is getting out of hand. The Letitia James Anti-Business Business Model The New York AG sues a meat company because it sells too much meat.-WSJ

“The JBS Group has profited from its fraudulent and illegal business activities across New York State,” the AG claims in a lawsuit filed in state court. Pray tell, how? Her argument is that eating beef is bad for the climate, and that JBS duped consumers into buying its products by making overly ambitious pledges to cut emissions. Seriously. That’s the case.

“Beef has the highest total greenhouse gas emissions of any major food commodity,” the lawsuit notes, and livestock production contributes about 32% of anthropogenic methane emissions each year. JBS says it plans to become “net zero” by 2040. But Ms. James complains that JBS didn’t quantify its so-called Scope 3 emissions from suppliers and customers. In any case, neither New York nor federal law says companies must disclose their greenhouse-gas emissions.

It is roughly an hour long and is intended for people who work in the outdoor industry. Those who take the course from North America are ineligible for the discount, however.
