The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

--Missouri’s attorney general has sued Starbucks, accusing it of engaging in discrimination with its diversity, equity and inclusion policies and alleging that such initiatives have made the coffee giant’s workforce “more female and less white.”--

welcome to Donny Convict’s America, where you can actually be sued for insufficient white maleness.

--Such practices force Missouri consumers to “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services,” he argued, because making hiring decisions “on non-merit considerations will skew the hiring pool towards people who are less qualified to perform their work.”--

here we go again with this inane fever-swamp insistence that women and people of color can’t possibly be qualified to do the jobs for which they’re being hired. it’s fucking Starbucks, you imbeciles. they’re pouring coffee into a cup and putting a lid on it. how is their sex — or color of their skin — a factor in how long it takes, or how much it costs?

He did not provide evidence for how costs would increase for consumers.

of course he didn’t provide evidence. there is no evidence. there’s never any evidence with these supremacist fuckfaces.

You tRumpers: Yes, your party is racist and misogynist.
