But not in an enjoyable way
Anyone else realize how pitiful that is?
But this decision will make me feel better about being there when I do go.
Any business with a diverse customer base absolutely needs diverse management, staff, and public-facing personnel.

Denial re. why they themselves cannot get or keep a job/a job they want (a friend used the term 'employment incels' to describe these yesterday, which, ick, but also kind of accurate).
Politicians who can only campaign on incited hate because they suck as humans.
Etc.

Fight against the Nazis.
It’s the American thing to do.
The far-right haters made their plea,
"Drop DEI, let bias be!"
But Apple, Costco, Delta, too,
Refused to let exclusion rule.

When you purchase shares in a company that entitle you to vote, you will usually be mailed information with a voting control #
I didn't receive a notice for today's Costco vote that I'm aware of. More likely a result of going green and doing away with paper invites, and burying shareholder messages in notifications.
Trying to decide if it’s worth braving their parking lot to stock up on eggs.
E PLURIBUS UNUM = DEI
Diversity

Republicans, which of these do you oppose?
