Recall that the submersible’s owner, Stockton Rush, went out of his way to NOT hire old white men. He preferred a young and diverse team to work on his vessel.
Stupid in the extreme.
The old white men had the necessary knowledge and experience.
The young and diverse team, not so much.
Right. The owner was an outspoken supporter of DEI and woke ideology. It killed him. Karma.
He had some old white men. Most of them told him the submersible had serious design flaws. So they got fired. Even a few of their young replacements didn’t like how things were going, spoke up, and got fired. He really wasn’t about young and diverse, he was about gullible and agreeable.
the older white men who had a lifetime of experience kept saying, NO, NO, NO and were either fired or quit ... the DEI hires were ignorant youngsters who said YES, YES, YES simply to keep their paycheck ...
