Wait, ...the company is not going to judge people by the way they look or who they sleep with? Why should ANY company judge people in that way?

[geraldvance]

Companies are getting tired of getting woke and going broke finally.

[treelinehugger]

By definition, DEI is discrimination.

[bethbrown]

Great news!!!! Stand up America!! Push back! Money talks!

Anti DEI is just another way to say I'M RACIST... Back in 1978... I was hired onto a huuuge petro chemical company... they were forced to hire my kind... I was told by "losers" many times that I should not have been hired... not a one of them could admit, I was better than they were... these thoughts keep me warm at night...

Screw the Black Farmers Association. Let them go buy somewhere else. They should know that there is no DEI when they go to sell their crops. Unless they want to subsidize other Black Farmers..Crickets…

With around $120k invested in Palantir stocks, any suggestions for additional stocks to diversify across various markets? Looking for a well-rounded portfolio that balances risk aversion with returns meeting yearly inflation concerns.

They almost went from John Deere to John Qweer!!!

DEI benefits only certain groups. A common misconception is that DEI only benefits certain groups of people. Affirmative action is an example of a popular DEI initiative and although the U.S. Supreme Court ended affirmative action in June of 2023, it is a great initiative to analyze because of widely-held beliefs about its beneficiaries. A 2011 report from the African American Policy Forum indicated that although many believe affirmative action only benefits Black people, the United States Labor Department provided evidence to show that white women were the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action programs.

Why would John Deere, agriculture equipment manufacture, have a DEI initiative.

[jallen]

bottomline is all that is important.

Does a black farmer operate a tractor differently ?

[jacasoasheland]

I've never seen a black person using a John Deere product.

[bthink]

More complicated? Or less complicated?

[giii]

No one is cancelling their "DEI programs" it's just a rebrand... They are renaming it, it is now BRIDGE; Benchmarking Race, Inclusion, and
Diversity in Global Engagement.

[ssuwandi]

Excellent👍✌️ Microsoft snd JD competitor too

[joewest]

Tractor manufacturer? No use for DEI? Crazy.

[freqenc]

How is gender associated with plants? How is this important to me even mowing the lawn? Why too complicated, just buy another brand. It should've been EVEN suggested.

[mikerisher]

Dei is segregation of benefits, anti dei is diversity of benefits for everyone

[tylermonster]

Why not hire a bunch of DEI lower standard brain surgeons so the ones who believe in them can get some work done.

Big yawn, I’ll put my money elsewhere. And be careful, if your boy doesn’t win, this might be a little premature. But hey nothing like complaining about one agenda in favor of another.
