Zone1 DEI Created Meritoracy in the Federal Workforce, The Very Thing That Trump & His Minions Claim Has Been Lost as a Result of DEI

[San Souci]

Bull, no one was raiding for slaves or colonizing sub-Saharan Africa in the Bronze Age when the Egyptians were building pyramids, the Minoans were building cities on Crete and a massive navy, Rhodes was building the colossus and the Babylonians were building the hanging gardens,

And the English Colonials did not "Raid" for slaves. They would have got slaughtered. They BOUGHT them from the Tribal Chiefs.

African diseases kept whites out of the interior of sub Saharan Africa. Negroes were enslaved by other Negroes who sold them to white slave traders.

They inherit an economy on it's way down from the DemocRAT predecessor that takes longer to fix than to ruin.

Also amazes me when the Left, who are largely composed of 'Wealth Redistributors' rather than 'Wealth Creators' act as if they know the clue to economics.

The problem is that the rich don't create wealth. Consumer demand creates wealth.

Republicans drive us into recession every time they get into office. It's why you'd have to go back to Collidge to find one who didn't. On the other hand, the only Democrat who had a recession start on his watch was Carter, and that one was mild (compared to the one Reagan had.)

Check the biography(Wiki is good for this) of Clinton's, Obama's, and Biden's and we see where right out of college they start collecting guv'mint paychecks. None of them ever owned a for profit business or start-up, so have no real experience at Wealth Creation. They do have experience at scamming and hustling their "vote" which is why/how they became richer than their legitimate salaries could have provided.

Or...

They actually know how to work government. The problem is, Bush and Trump were both awful presidents, because they thought they could run government like a business. (Not sure why you guys want government run like a business. Most of us can't stand to go to our private sector jobs.)

JoeB131's condemnation of the Jews is similar to Hitler's condemnation expressed in Mein Kampf. One cannot plausibly argue that Jews are bad people. The problem with Jews is that they are too intelligent, and they compete too well.

They're genociding the people of Gaza.
The reason why Germans hated them to the degree they did was because they took advantage of the Weimar Chaos that led to the Nazis.
In Russia, they were tax collectors for the Tsar.
In Spain, they collaborted with the Muslim occupiers.

It's not like they are honestly minding their own business. It's more like, "how can we screw them today?"

Genghis Khan and his Mongols are estimated to have killed 10% of the world's population, and 30% of the population of China.

Not sure why that's relevant to anything.

Being a polisci major would explain a lot about you.

Actually, I was a history major. PolSci was a minor.

Bull, no one was raiding for slaves or colonizing sub-Saharan Africa in the Bronze Age when the Egyptians were building pyramids, the Minoans were building cities on Crete and a massive navy, Rhodes was building the colossus and the Babylonians were building the hanging gardens,

The hanging gardens are probably a myth. Herodotus never saw them.

No one was raiding that far because they largely didn't have the technology to.

I believe menacing is a crime in most jurisdictions.

Being a scared little white guy isn't a good excuse for going on a shooting rampage.

 

[JoeB131]

USSR? They were Commies like you. PS--Mao and Pol Pot killed a lot more than Russia and the Krauts combined. Not to mention Idi Amin. Or Patrice Lumumba.

The only way you get to millions with Mao if you count famine deaths. Hitler killed 12 million people by design and intent. Mao had 30 million die on his watch due to a combination of natural events and bad policy. It's really not the same thing.

Idi Amin and Lumumba were small pikers compared to Hitler.

(Pssst.... saying everyone who disagrees with you is a Commie was laughable in the 1950s, much less now.)

 

[Hector12]

Not sure why that's relevant to anything.

You claimed earlier that whites re more responsible for suffering and death than any other race. Whites of European descent have created the most affluent, the most advanced, and the most generous of any race on earth. That is why non whites try to move to Europe and the United States.

What did the Mongols have to show for their empire?

[Democratic presidents] actually know how to work government. The problem is, Bush and Trump were both awful presidents, because they thought they could run government like a business. (Not sure why you guys want government run like a business. Most of us can't stand to go to our private sector jobs.)

When Gerald Ford was president an average of 745,000 jobs were created every year. Under Jimmy Carter this rose to 2,600,000 jobs created per year. Under Ronald Reagan this declined to 2,000,000 jobs created per year. Under George H.W. Bush this declined further to 625,000 jobs per year. Under Bill Clinton it rose to 2,900,000 jobs per year, only to decline to 375,000 under George W. Bush.

These statistics came from an article on The Wall Street Journal blog that was dated Jan 9, 2009.

Look at the jobs created per year in office.

Running a business is poor training for running the government. Private industry is a feudal environment. Bosses in private industry can give orders and expect obedience. They do not need to make people want to do what they want them to do.

"the rich" are also consumers, only they shop the higher price range of goods and services as well. Also they invest their money to help create business and other ventures that will grow/create wealth. Consumer demand(markets) are one part/item in the equation for creating wealth.

I've yet to see convincing truth of this Republicans create recessions and Democrats don't. Especially when Democrats keep finding ways to create more deficit and debt via the government. Saddling the burden upon taxpayers and leaving "economic timebombs" for the next term to deal with.

The difference is that Democrat/leftist thing the government is an endless credit card they can keeping charging on and not have to pay off. Republicans realize that like business, governments don't work when they can't balance the books, when there is too much red ink.

Obama and Biden knew how to "work" government to scam more money/wealth into their own pockets. Both have careers in only government 'employment' (elected or hired) yet have amassed personal fortunes far beyond what they could have were they to never spend a dime of the salaries the received. They knew how to "work" the government for personal gain, selling their vote and power for personal gain.

BTW, your gripe about running government like a business suggests you know little about either and your personal claims on your own finances are suspect.

Stryder50, what is fake about my meme? David Stockman was Reagan's Director of the Office of Management and budget from 1981 to 1986. In his book The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed he revealed that contrary to what Reagan claimed during his presidential campaign in 1980 it was never possible to raise military spending and cut taxes while balancing the budget. In other words, Reagan's economic policies were fraudulent. When Stockman could no longer endure the lies and wishful thinking, he left the Reagan administration.

Opinion not fact.
Tax cuts need to be combined with Budget cuts to be effective.
The "Time Machine" function of this web resource (using OMB data) will show that both Parties have kept and grown the Deficit&Debt from 1980 onward.

In his 1980 Presidential campaign Reagan said he would only need to cut "Waste, fraud, and abuse." In his book Stockman said that he would need to make deep cuts in Social Security and Medicare, and eliminate farm and business subsidies. He said these cuts were not made because most Republican voters would oppose them.

This is what a lack of critical thinkings skills does for you, but it's also a heightened form of gaslighting. Or to dumb it down a bit - you tell a lie, over and over and over again, never back down and people will eventually begin to remember that it's a lie.

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives have contributed to creating a more meritocratic system in the federal workforce, particularly by ensuring that hiring and promotions are based on qualifications and abilities rather than bias or exclusionary practices.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------​

How DEI Created Meritocracy in the Federal Workforce​

1. Eliminating Exclusionary Practices
   • Before DEI efforts, certain racial, gender, and socioeconomic groups were systematically excluded from federal job opportunities, whether through explicit policies or implicit biases in hiring and promotion.
   • By removing barriers, DEI allowed a broader pool of qualified candidates to compete on merit rather than connections, race, or gender.
2. Expanding Access to Opportunities
   • Affirmative action and DEI initiatives opened federal positions to historically underrepresented groups.
   • Veteran hiring preferences, disability inclusion programs, and outreach efforts brought highly qualified candidates into government roles based on skills and expertise rather than traditional networks.
3. Objective Hiring Standards
   • The Merit System Principles (5 U.S.C. § 2301) ensure that federal hiring is based on ability, knowledge, and skills rather than personal favoritism.
   • DEI efforts reinforced structured hiring processes, like blind resume reviews and standardized evaluation criteria, reducing the impact of bias.
4. Promoting Fair Advancement
   • Historically, informal networks often dictated who got promotions and leadership roles.
   • DEI programs helped create clearer promotion pathways where employees were evaluated based on performance, not just who they knew.

How Did This Become Controversial?​

In recent years, critics have argued that some DEI efforts have gone beyond leveling the playing field and created new forms of exclusion, such as:​

• Diversity-focused hiring goals that, in some cases, led to accusations of reverse discrimination.
• Training programs that critics claim promote a specific ideological perspective rather than neutral professional development.
• Legal challenges questioning whether certain DEI programs comply with existing anti-discrimination laws.

So, Did DEI Create a Meritocracy?​

Yes, in the federal workforce, DEI helped build a more merit-based system by ensuring that hiring and advancement were based on ability rather than bias. However, the debate arises when policies perceived as ensuring diversity appear to conflict with strictly race-neutral or “colorblind” interpretations of merit.​

This is how far out, lost in space, detatched from reality these looney tunes are. Wow!

He said these cuts were not made because most Republican voters would oppose them.

Once in office and receiving information for "POTUS Eyes Only" Reagan discovered the USA was further behind the USSR militarily than he knew/thought, and losing the Cold War. There was need to ramp up our Defense spending to increase and upgrade our military. Yet entitlements and subsidies "couldn't" be cut.

You do the math.

So, by that logic, the debt issue should be limited to an AMERICAN problem, since the republican party is limited to AMERICA.


is that the case?

The Israelis are doing to the Palestinians what the Palestinians would like to do to them.

German Jews suffered from the Weimar Chaos too. They suffered less than German Gentiles because they were more intelligent and better educated.

They were collectors for the Tsar because of that intelligence and education.

During the Muslim occupation of Spain the Jews still had to pay the tax for non Muslims.

Many of them were Communist sympathizers. So what? If more Communist sympathizers worked for the State Department we would have avoided the War in Vietnam.

Shouldn't have to have had communist sympathizers to avoid the war in Vietnam. Just the 10 Commandments ("Thou shalt not kill") should be enough.
(ie. don;t kill whoever is not trying to kill you)
