Democrats want to subject tech companies to mandatory "racial equity audits" conducted by their political allies, a move which could cement the party's control of Silicon Valley.
A small group of organizations with close ties to Democratic politicians and progressive donors conducts the majority of these audits, which advocates say are needed to promote racial justice. But in practice, equity auditors often push companies to hire more left-wing activists and former Democratic party officials, often from the auditing organizations themselves. The audits also call for the abolition of standards of "merit" and the ability for a special executive to veto any company project.

This is how communism grows.
The Democratic Party is outright subverting our Republic.
“The audits also call for the abolition of standards of “merit”...”
I worked at a tuna cannery for five weeks.
One guy Orville M. was alphabetically ahead of me (S) so he would always have seniority...No merit advancement for ANYONE.
Nasty, vile union job.
I went to college the next year...all the wiser.
They’re probably the ones pushing it. Like the Kremlin did in the 60’s.
This is really bizarre.
Insanity. Pure, insanity. The people advocating this should seek professional help. Today.
...and the ability for a special executive to veto any company project.
An apparatchik by any other name would still be an SOB...
It’s not bizarre it’s communism and Obama’s revolution.
The Democrat Party is communist. It doesn’t even hide it anymore.
Institutional inefficiency — on hallmark of a communistic state.
The audits fit within a broader push from Biden administration officials to promote racial justice goals in government policy. The Securities and Exchange Commission is pushing companies to include audit proposals from shareholders in their proxy statements. Federal Trade Commissioner Kelly Slaughter has argued her department has a mandate to tackle “structural and systemic racism.”
I think they should immediately investigate the NBA.
An audit of government power by citizens too. This is where the abuse is.
“racial equity”
Hey, Democrats aka Demoncrats. Please define racial equity for me.
In the Soviet Union, this was called the Political Officer.
He would enforce standards that mirrored what the State wanted.
“Free men are not equal and equal men are not free”
From Atlas Shrugged. In 2007, Gerald Starnes died, leaving three children: Gerald Starnes, Jr., his younger brother Eric, and their sister Ivy. Together they proposed a radically new business plan: they would have all the employees work according to their ability, and “pay” them according to their needs.
A book worth reading at least 3 times.
In the near future, the old Soviet joke will be here and will be real.
“We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”
“ability for a special executive to veto any company project.”
I see that they want a political officer installed in every company to guard against wrongthink.
Merit is racist presumably because democrats believe that some races are more supremier than others
China is soon going to be more capitalist/market-based than us.
Game over.
This isn’t communism. This is tribalism & stupidity.
