I know I'm late, and I can already tell this will be unpopular. But I don't understand why Costco's move is noteworthy, let alone praiseworthy.

DEI is bad for society. It was discriminatory and made everyone poorer. It only served to foster enormous resentment, barring some very specific instances in areas related to law enforcement. I haven't looked into the exact wording of the clauses, but if Costco's DEI policies are as they seem, then this is simply virtue signalling.
That doesn't mean a private company isn't free to make their own mistakes, or even that it is a mistake - for all I know, their virtue signalling could persuade more people to buy a membership on net.
But what is the point of praising it? Come on Bill, don't you realize that not every single part of every single thing that Trump or MAGA does is bad for America?
Being anti-Trump does not mean being pro-Democrat. It does mean steering clear of an easy TDS label.
Well, this is confusing. First I read you say it made everyone poorer and yet at the same time, my company had the best financial results it had last year since 2019. DEI was a standard embraced for wider growth for all...but it seems the minute one particular diverse group is highlighted, some status quo gets its nose out of joint. And I didn't necessarily see quality taking a back seat either when it co-existed...the economy grew anyway. Now that there is the Spanish Inquisition style ban of DEI, that seems now to cause more disruption than the implementation of DEI itself...there certainly are fewer choices to buy in retail, fewer jobs offered and fewer new curriculums offered to learn because of this lash back. The only winner I have noticed so far, are HBCU's...who have basically seen the backlash writing on the wall and are happy to grow in enrollment where they feel safer to embrace "more choices and diversity". I guess that is your compartmentalized "wet dream"?

Interesting that you think hiring a workforce which looks like the American population causes resentment.
