Selecting from a third of the population weakens the State.

Relative to selecting from the whole population.

@georgetakei

That’s the USA. That’s why Trump won. Because his voters can’t compete on the big stage except by the sheer number of racist votes.

@georgetakei If they do so, them all minorities should resign and let others fight or protect America. Even during war minorities should say NO. "We are not qualify".

@georgetakei This is how Putin is destroying the US without firing a shot.

@georgetakei So you get on a plane, and you observe that the pilot is a white guy. Now you worry if he got into college just 'cause his dad went to the same place, and got his job just 'cause his uncle already was a pilot .

@georgetakei
The Nazis called that "Gleichschaltung", to fill relevant positions in legislative, executive and judicial with loyalists and opportunists.

@georgetakei Firing her, firing Gen. Brown as the head of the Jt Chiefs of Staff: what these morons don't get is that they are rapidly alienating the military, who DO understand their oath to the Constitution - unlike virtually every single Trump appointee (including a lot of his Judges).

@georgetakei

The far right has been told that DEI is about hiring incompetence for the sake of identity politics.

They are now going to see exactly what that means from the incompetent white men only gfy administration .

@georgetakei The new “No Merit needed”. Sycophants only hiring practices.

@georgetakei - Evidently trump likes hiring weekend Fox talk hosts. What a way to lose a commanding officer.

@georgetakei DUI fire fires DEI hire sums up this administration.

@georgetakei
There are courts, aren't there?

@georgetakei

It's as if the Ferengi took over the Federation of Planets, fired Janeway and gave the Borg the command of the entire fleet, so they could make more money stripping Voyager for parts.

@georgetakei in maga land, the g is silent in donlover

@georgetakei for Brits BT has dropped its rules possibly because US cannot use companies that have a DEI rule

@georgetakei George, tell it like it is - they are purging all blacks, minorities, and women.

@georgetakei They're really saying DEI with the hard R.

@georgetakei started at the top

@georgetakei How Sad that was a huge mistake should of been a non political and racial decision !

@georgetakei It was never about being merit-based. If it was, there would be a equal proportion of minorities and LGBTQ people in high positions.

@georgetakei
Does the name Kavanaugh ring a bell?

@georgetakei Can me someone from the US explain why are you not going into the streets and demonstrate? Are you waiting till your system turned totally into a system where this is not possible anymore?

@georgetakei

The U.S. is not currently experiencing a full-scale Gleichschaltung, but specific trends and activities raise legitimate concerns. The potential exists for a gradual erosion of democratic norms and institutions.

Gleichschaltung refers to the Nazi policy of establishing a system of total control over all aspects of society. It's crucial to analyze the specific elements of Gleichschaltung and compare them to current trends.

@georgetakei When JRR Tolkien set up his history of Middle-earth, he placed artifacts of magnificent ruins for his "Fellowship" to stumble upon indicating that in previous eras the inhabitants once produced incredible art and building and civilization the present company could not approach.

I feel that this is the direction we are headed. It will not take generations, but mere months for us to lose the ability to create and accomplish what we used to do with ease.

So race, sexual orientation and gender should be the first determining factors when looking for hires?

Do you realize how bigoted that sounds? 😐

What mental gymnastics did you make to come to the conclusion that hiring based on skill and experience instead of race and gender would lower the quality of the talent you hire?

@georgetakei

@georgetakei 1983, François Giroud told "Women will be equal to men just the day, for a high and important job, we'd prefer an incompetent woman."

@georgetakei I'm betting she was fired, because GOP knows she will never fire on California, which I find likely to be the future center of any popular resistance if all this gets worse.

@georgetakei #nevertrump

@georgetakei Tiny penis energy to fire an Admiral because he gender is threatening to you.

@georgetakei maybe all these fired leaders can help with the resistance/revolution?

@georgetakei @acf …and I’m fairly confident firing all the federal staff is to be able to give the money for the work, that will still need doing, to businesses run by their friends.

@georgetakei This is hard proof that no one in this administration is interested in creating the Utopian meritocracy they spout on and on about. It's not meritocracy if you ice out candidates based on other factors than their actual performance.
