Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI
1. Diversity
Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain.
1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.
endorsements matter to chalt in years when their candidates receive endorsements. they tout them. when their candidates don't receive endorsements - like this year - we're told not to trust endorsements. triangleblogblog.com/2023/10…
It's time.
President Biden has served our country well. I'm confident he'll do so for the next year.
But it's time for an act of personal sacrifice and public spirit.
It's time to pass the torch to the next generation.
It's time for Biden to announce he won't run in 2024.
Sidelining faculty and the Chancellor, the UNC Board of Trustees unilaterally announced the creation of the School of Civic Life. #UNC faculty and administrators recently resolved to make the best of the situation by turning challenges into opportunities. higheredworks.org/2023/10/go…

Proud to announce the endorsement of Min. Robert Campbell of the Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood Association. Min. Campbell has been fighting for environmental and social justice for decades. As @chapelhillgov mayor, I pledge to continue progress on the Greene Tract. TY, Reverend.
Mark please. Denounce this barbarism. Nothing can justify it. When settlers murder Palestinians and act like terrorists denounce them as well. But no false equivalence.
Just got off a private briefing with an officer in the Israeli army. What happened was a well planned indiscriminate massacre involving women and children. The brutality was unprecedented in the history of Arab-Israeli relations.
