Summary
Costco shareholders voted overwhelmingly (98%) against a proposal by a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, to assess risks linked to the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Costco’s board supported DEI initiatives, dismissing the proposal as partisan and unnecessary.
This rejection contrasts with trends in other companies scaling back DEI efforts.
The vote comes amid new federal rules from Trump targeting DEI initiatives in federal agencies, potentially impacting private vendors working with the government.
What fucking risks you fucks? Hiring people with the wrong skin colors?
The news cycles since Trump won the election is fucking terrible. Every corporation is mask off and drop anything that might benefit the populace so that they go back to being cowboys and treat employees like shit.
I want to personally say fuck you to everyone that voted for Trump. I hope that you and all the members of your close circle that voted for Trump die a painful death, after being economically fucked out of any little wealth you have.
The world is better off without you cunts.
They think it’s discrimination against straight white males now and think they are going to get sued by someone with a rejected job offer because the decision may have been made due to skin colour, gender, or sexual orientation.
A gay man can sue if he was not hired because he was gay, these people think eventually a straight man can sue if he wasn’t hired because he wasn’t gay.
Which may happen with Trump in power now, I wouldn’t be surprised if he started working on laws that will allow people to do that
The gulags were populated for good reason. “Waaahhh communists killed millions in their gulags,” yeah, millions of Nazis. Yet apparently that still wasn’t enough.
Buddy, I’m with you on Communists being antifascist, but the gulags are not something to be praised. Many innocent people were sent there for simply displeasing Stalin in some way.
Yes, WW2 would have been much longer and likely unwinnable without Soviet involvement, but praising the Gulags is just picking which concentration camp you like best.
Stalin should’ve gone to the gulags.
No. The Gulags, like the Nazi concentration camps, shouldn’t have existed at all. Stalin should have been deposed and forced to live out his days in obscurity or killed outright. No one should be tortured.
Should have never come back from Siberia.
Lol no, they killed literal civilians, the ones they swore to protect
That’s because they didn’t put enough fascists in the gulags, including the ones that turned on their own people and put them in the gulags.
I think you need to read The Gulag Archipelago. Or are you going to claim that Solzhenitsyn, who was literally a battery commander in the Red Army, was also a fascist? Because I’d love some evidence of that.
Isn’t that the book Jordan Peterson keeps going on about?
You missed a couple history lessons, there, bro.
Is that who you think Stalin put in them…? Really?
Yeah he should’ve put himself in there too while he was at it. America didn’t put any fascists in gulags though, they hired them to help fascists continue the fight and they’ve been winning ever since.
Were the over 1.5 million Red Army POWs that had spent years in Nazi camps before Stalin decided they were traitors for getting captured and put in gulags for it all fascists?
I mean if we want to keep doing whataboutisms, what country today has 25% of their population in prison?
Talking about who was in the gulags in a thread about the gulags is not whataboutism and I have no idea why you think it is.
Interesting how you didn’t mention that Stalin also sent a huge number of Jews to the gulags.

What was the good reason for that?
Same reason the Nazis targetted them - they were marxists.
Well now I understand why you’re saying all the things you’re saying- disgusting bigotry.
