It’s out of control': NASA insiders are pushing Elon Musk to end costly DEI spending-Business Today

NASA staff are reportedly calling on Elon Musk to “clean house” after revelations emerged that the space agency has spent millions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Howard Levitt: Woke is broke and Donald Trump's return confirms it-Financial Post

When I went to legal conferences over the past three years, the buzzwords were DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and ESG (environmental, social and governance). ESG market funds were all the rage and compliance officers ensured that they ticked all the equity boxes, partly to get government orders.

Now, all of that is in tatters. U.S. president-elect Donald Trump won the vote by running against those very things and, to the point, received majority support. Quoting Dowd again: “The (Democratic) party embraced a worldview of hyper-political correctness, condescension and cancellation, and supported diversity statements for job applicants and faculty lounge terminology like ‘Latinx’ and ‘BIPOC.’ This alienated the country.”

This is something I am keeping an eye on, been a fan of the weight loss drug stocks for a while. Not because I like the idea, I hate it, but because I think given the choice between changing your diet or taking a shot, Americans will choose the shot. I also thought the drug companies would figure out ways to get their tentacles everywhere on this. I haven't sold my positions, but I'm not adding. I still think American's are lazy and would choose a shot regardless of what RFK Jr. says.
