  • Trump Defeated, Loses DEI Culture War With Corporate America's Shareholders - Is It Because of His Inherent White Incompetence or His Vile Anti-Christian Racism?

    From Michael Knowles, Daily Wire@mknowles@dailywire.com to comp.os.linux.advocacy,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,comp.sys.mac.advocacy,or.politics,alt.atheism on Wed Mar 18 20:17:57 2026

    Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has been losing with corporate
    America, with one big exception: the people who actually own the companies.

    This year, investors at some of America’s biggest companies — Costco,
    Apple, Levi’s, John Deere, Goldman Sachs and others — have overwhelmingly voted against proposals targeting DEI programs. The proposals include requiring companies to scrap their DEI policies entirely or remove
    diversity goals from executive pay packages and audit the legal risks of pursuing DEI. Two conservative think tanks, the National Center for Public Policy Research and the National Legal and Policy Center, have brought most
    of the proposals.

    The near-unanimous shareholder votes show two things — large and small investors alike do not want companies’ boards of directors and management
    to bend to activist shareholders, and investors believe maintaining DEI programs is good for business.

    The rejections of anti-DEI proposals “reveal that the investor community doesn’t think that having a tough stance on DEI makes financial sense,”
    said Matteo Gatti, a professor of law at Rutgers University who studies corporate governance. “Investors are saying they don’t want ideological shareholders to drive business.”

    As far as I know, even Microsoft eventually surrendered to the fact that
    the DEI stuff was poisonous. I can't imagine why Apple is holding onto it.
