Ironically, 2024 eclipse trip - I watched that with friends. It was good!... not a Disney film ;)
eclipse portion of trip was a bust (we left Ohio to go to Texas... but there was an extended trip so in spite of cloud forecast, we went). Ironic due to astronomy connection...

Diversity, equity, and inclusion - Wikipedia

The US spends $3.4 billion/yr. Worse, mandatory trainings either backfire or do nothing: A 2007 study of 829 companies over 31 years showed "no positive effects in the average workplace" from diversity training, while the effect was negative where it was mandatory: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversi...

On DEI in general, good intentions but the actual implementation of it is problematic.

I think there are less toxic ways of handling it - audits would be less damaging to the relationships in the organization but maybe not as effective?

I tried to think how I'd feel if it were trying to get rid of something I thought was bad, like if doctors in the department of health spread the idioric idea that vaccines magnetize people. Would I be ok sending an email out telling employees to rat each other out for doing this?

Trying to eliminate DEI by asking workers to be whistleblowers on each other certainly should have bad impacts on worker cooperation and employee morale. I expect it will create a more toxic work environment.

On Trump ordering federal employees to rat each other out over DEI: It frightened me at fist but now I have mixed thoughts about it. I'm MUCH more disgusted and worried about trump pardoning the Jan 6 rioters, including violent protesters who injured officers.

I do like and watch this show a good bit. I already support many NPR shows. How do you draw the line between - it's a hobby, support yourself vs it's an institution I should support vs magazine/podcast I should pay for what I consume? I pay for youtube, figured they got $ from that?
