I single issue voted for Cox, he ran on Constitutional Carry. He started leaning a bit left when the LGBTQ+ stuff bubbled up but now he seems to have come to his senses in regards to DEI.

I can go either way on DEI. I am a construction worker.I donāt think too highly about formal higher education. Education can only go as far as the teacher. I get my education from the real world(myngastur).

I canāt. Iāve seen firsthand, and have heard from many others, the actual, in-practice effects of the DEI programs. They basically undermine all the civil rights protections that were gained in the 50s and 60s by filtering everything through the lens of a personās skin color. And theyāre used as a bat to beat people into submission on first amendment issues. It sounds good on the surface, but in practice itās pure evil.

I know this is old but popped up on bottom of a threadā¦ forget the education and all that. To me, its as simple as ā¦ Do u want to work with the best people your company has, or do u want others brought in that might drop a hammer off the roof, or fall down off a building, but makes it clear everyone is accepted? Pereonally, i find that āhire minorities and women because they arent good enough on skill aloneā is the racist way of looking at it, not the anti-dei people.

That is a good point. We certainly donāt want people doing dangerous jobs that are not responsible enough to do the job.
