> Doesnt matter how huge, its a waste of money doing DEI programs in Burma.

That's opinion.

> plenty of safe nuke plants running and they are building more for datacenters

Yeah, and they were doing it safely.

> not really a problem of government spending unless you are saying they should pay more? not sure what youre getting at

You do, you're just ignoring it on purpose.

> Yes it can I mean afterall we had no income tax during the industrial revolution

And now you do, because it was necessary, back when it was implemented... this is just ignoring economic history.

Also, Industrial revolution!? the 1800s!? huh!?

Of course there was small government back then, the government only worked for landowners, not blacks or even women. Just white land owners. There wasn't even plumbing back then on most of america, barely any public utility, hell there wasn't even electricity, there was literally nothing to do apart from not dying of cholera.

plus the slaves/women did everything for free and if they died you just replaced them.

> this was true when we hired people based on merit and not immutable characteristics.

Pretty sure you're still hiring doctors and people with degrees, just now you have to hire a black one sometimes. what's so bad about a 1% in diversity hires?

(also trans people have mutable charactistics, ha)
