I'm not sure I could actively sound this stupid in public and still be applying for the job they're interviewing me for. I think I'd just politely excuse myself and leave.

DEI hire.
What is DEI Anyway?
DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which we define as follows:

Diversity is the presence of differences in dimensions of human identity. Dimensions of diversity may include, but are not limited to, race, age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, (dis) ability, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, citizenship, socioeconomic status, housing status, marital status, language, and political perspective.

Equity is the fair and just allocation of resources, access, and opportunities in such a way that all persons have what they need to succeed, grow, contribute and be represented in all parts of society. Equity refers not to providing identical resources to everyone but to distributing resources and opportunities based on each person’s needs.

Inclusion is the intentional, ongoing effort to ensure that diverse individuals have equitable access and involvement in community and decision-making. As an action, inclusion entails welcoming, supporting, respecting, and valuing diverse individuals and groups for their unique contributions and perspectives, while ensuring none are excluded from presence, belonging, and participation with dignity.

Coach D explained it really well. It isn't about ONLY hiring "minorities". It's about posting positions where they normally wouldn't be posted. So instead of posting only at Harvard and Yale. They also will post it at Howard and Morehouse and wherever gay professionals hang out. It's about casting a wider net.

What happened to DOGE?
Now that the dark skin guy is on the hook for it they'll turn the DOGE budget cutting over to unnamed deep swamp agents to shake as much money as possible loose from the budgets that benefit average americans. That'll clear the way for the billionaires to get more billion dollar contracts and billion dollar tax breaks. On the other hand they're considering removal of the national debt limit, so they won't even need budget hawks anymore, or at least while they're in control.

If he is appointed to Vance's senate seat its just likely to be a short term filler type position. I personally can't see him winning a state wide election to keep it, but we'll see.

I don’t think Trump is going to go fully through with this because the business people are already in his ear, saying you’re going to fuck them up if you deport too many people. Because if they have to hire Americans to pick vegetables or fruits or construction prices is going to go even sky higher. We may have bigger issues to fry in the next few months, but I’m going to stay quiet.

Donald Trump urges Vivek Ramaswamy to take Ohio Senate seat after JD Vance's resignation

President-elect Donald Trump is urging his former campaign rival, Vivek Ramaswamy, to consider an appointment to Ohio's vacant U.S. Senate seat, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

Gov. Mike DeWine must pick someone to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance, who resigned his Senate seat last week. The appointee will serve with Sen. Bernie Moreno for two years and must run in November 2026 if he or she wants to keep the seat. The winner of that election will serve the remainder of Vance's term, which ends in 2028.
They might soon be done with him, but he will leave a lasting impact on the laws he will establish against black people. :yes:

By the way, he’s playing ball just like Bobby Jindal all the way to the bank… :yes:

There’s no need to remain silent because the incarcerated will be the ones picking the fruits and performing construction work at a cheaper cost. If you still doubt this, consider the inmates battling the California wildfires, who are working 24-hour shifts and earning less than a dollar per hour.

I'm not sure this guys impact will be all that significant. The hard core maga base has let him know in no uncertain terms that they want nothing to do with him now that they've won. So I think Trump will keep him at arms length until they want him to speak on and perhaps soon vote for their agenda. Oh yeah, it goes without saying that the GOP aint about nothing like they are making Bank. His next term's grift will be on a scale the world has never seen before.

If Vivek Ramaswamy is appointed to the Senate, he’ll have a vote on any bill presented to the Senate. He will also be able to vote on which federal judges will be appointed and on Trump’s cabinet picks. Again, this guy is dangerous.

You aren't wrong, but he'll be no worse than the other 50+ GOP senators that will blindly go along with the trump agenda and appointments. My hope is that he'll wake up and realize they see him as nothing more than a boot lick and do something to piss them off even more.

Yeah, white people, especially your opinion white people have a very violent history and they tried to cover it up, but you cannot cover that history up. You motherfuckers almost wiped out the Native Americans, you fucked up the Black people in this country for generations at some point in the near future, is going to come back on you guys so hard. With the population of the white population drop…..I think it’s already happening.

Supreme Court to hear ACA preventive coverage suit​


Summarize

By Noah Tong Jan 14, 2025 4:10am
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a lawsuit that will determine whether preventive services will remain fully covered by group health plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Arguments will commence this spring, and a decision (PDF) is expected by July.

Texas-based employer Braidwood Management argued before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals the ACA's preventive services provision is unconstitutional. Initially, Braidwood Management did not want to cover pre-exposure prophylaxis drugs for HIV, saying it violates its rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

That court opted to uphold a lower court’s decision finding coverage through the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) unconstitutional—because the task force is not elected or “politically accountable” yet decide which services are covered—but it overturned a nationwide injunction, mandating plans cover preventive services with cost-sharing until otherwise determined.

If the preventive services provision is eliminated, access to disease screenings, mental health appointments and certain prescription drugs would no longer be covered.

The government petitioned the Fifth Circuit’s ruling, hoping the Supreme Court would not find the USPSTF unconstitutional in determining coverage requirements through the ACA.

“Under the court’s severability doctrine, it would seem they would uphold the role of the task force,” said Epstein Becker Green healthcare attorney Richard Hughes IV in an email shared with Fierce Healthcare. “But SCOTUS is not predictable and the trend toward curtailing the role of experts and the administrative state could win the day.”

Overturning of the Chevron deference in June is a flagship example of the nation’s top legal arbiters seemingly siding against federal agencies, and Republicans are hoping a series of recent decisions foreshadow future favorable rulings.

“Another likely factor that will impact the case's outcome is whether the government maintains its position in support of the USPSTF following the upcoming change in administration,” added Hughes.

It’s possible the federal government will not remain in favor of the preventive services coverage requirement now that President-elect Donald Trump, a longtime opponent of the ACA, is retaking the White House.

Supreme Court justices will not determine whether the Department of Health and Human Services appropriately set guidelines for the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), though that issue was sent back to a lower court in June. Plaintiffs claimed the ACIP and the HRSA were not delegated the authority to set guidelines.

Venteur, an individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA) administrator, suggests there is opportunity for ICHRAs to “reimagine how preventive services are covered” if the Supreme Court rules against the government, the company said in a LinkedIn post.

Skeptics of the ACA preventive services provision say these services are not truly free and ultimately lead to higher premiums for all Americans.

“Your auto insurance doesn’t pay for oil changes," said Stacy Mays, founder and CEO of healthcare advisory firm Copeland Road Health Ventures. “Prevention is positive, but it doesn't fit the definition of insurance.”

In October, the Biden administration proposed a rule requiring health plans to cover over-the-counter contraceptives for free, without cost sharing. The rule has not been finalized. Another proposed rule, which would have made it more difficult for health plans to claim a religious or moral exemption with regards to contraception, was rescinded by HHS in late December.
