Diversity and inclusion is communist gobblygook?  This is good journalism?

   IMO, yes.  BTW, in 2024, modern journalism and media in general, is rife with bias, and narrative. Long gone are the days of Walter Cronkite.

  Gobblygook? I haven't been able to get an explanation on that word.

  Tell me your thoughts on a filling a job requiring certain skills, but,,,,,with DEI, that job is filled with, not the best skilled applicant,  but the applicant with the most "diverse genetic makeup with minority diversity the goal, and sexually diverse disclosure pronunciation" ??
  Regardless of how a person 'feels' about DEI in our modern society, now firmly entranced in socialist public sector government hiring practices, police forces, fire fighter, and military, bringing forth DEI into a private company with a very evident 'old school' conservative customer base, such as Budweiser, John Deere, Tractor Supply, and now, Harley Davidson, this is a recipe for financial harm.  Ask Budweiser how they feel, a full year after their advertising debacle, their #1 beer in sales for 26 years, Bud Light, now permanently forever #3.

Over my career I worked in a lot of workplaces and managed hundreds of people at times.  I recognized the value of diversity in making good decisions at all levels.  If governments hadn't enacted human rights legislation we would still be stuck in the 60's where the boss's son got the job because he was the boss's son.  I've seen what that kind of thinking does to an organization.  No thanks.  Don't want that again.

  Harley Davidson officially backtracks on its DEI push from massive pushback from customer base.

  After listening to Nico at Sunday coffee, on his crazy stupid idiotic experiences with notable huge HD dealer locally, during his purchase of near new ( and super cool looking ) HD , having to deal with nose ring’d, purple haired kwack through head shaking incompetence on very basic factory OEM option upgrades.
