Summary
Costco’s board rejected a shareholder proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, arguing they foster respect, innovation, and cultural alignment with customers and employees.
Shareholders claimed DEI could lead to lawsuits citing “illegal discrimination” against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, referencing legal cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.
Costco countered that its DEI efforts comply with the law and enhance its culture, rejecting claims of legal risk.
The proposal will be voted on at Costco’s January 23 shareholder meeting.
We are just gonna keep paying a godawful price for allowing this vile stacked court.
For as long as you’re alive anyway.
Or until someone Luigi’s them during a progressive’s term. Not that that will ever happen. The progressive term, not the other thing.
We’re moving to a future where the elite will live in a fortified city where only the rich and elite can enter, while the plebs live outside the walls and luigi is just a plumber.
If that happens, AVALANCHE won’t be far behind. Barrett, Tifa, and their friends will infiltrate and terrorize their cities till they stop killing the planet.
Some strifes call for more of a Cloud than a Luigi
In our reality, Luigi seems to be an awful lot like Cloud Strife. He’s certainly swinging around a massive
swordpopular clout.Edit: FUCK… I just made an argument for Kingdom Hearts to exist.
Going on vacation to a world with toon physics, don’t ask why I’m bringing lube and a bicycle pump.
Going to visit Goofy or Wile E Coyote?
We already have gated communities for the wealthy…
Too small scale.
California entirely walled off. Anyone outside the walls in poverty. Anyone inside the walls, the equivalent of a decamillionaire or more. Nothing in between.
Edit: Throw in NYC on the other coast so the wealthy have a choice of coast.
So back to castles and seiges
But this time, the bricks are filled with coins!

My kids will be suffering from these policies long after I’m gone.
It takes a long time to rebuild systems and protections.
And very little time or effort to destroy them…
