California governor signs corporate boardroom diversity law
2020-10-02
[FOXBUSINESS] Hundreds of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,-based corporations must have directors from racial or sexual minorities on their boards under a first-in-the-nation bill signed Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Why would anybody now start a company in California when they can't choose their board or directors on MERIT? This is a design for a failed company from day zero!
The diversity legislation is similar to a 2018 measure that required boardrooms to have at least one female director by 2019. Like that measure, it could face court challenges from conservative groups who view it as a discriminatory quota.

Supporters evoked both the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
 pandemic that is disproportionately affecting minorities and weeks of unrest and calls for inclusion that followed the slaying of George Floyd in May in the custody of Minneapolis police.

#10  Insulting term for libertarians who travel down rabbit holes to the exclusion of common sense and in ignorance of actual results, even as they congratulate themselves on how much smarter they are than everyone else..

See almost anyone at the largely anti-Trump Reason magazine.

Such people have been at the forefront of providing "intellectual" arguments against Trump supporters, while either ignoring, or even celebrating the Left's behavior.

I think they need to be called out as much as the "conservative" Never-Trumpers.

Definition, please. I find nothing useful on the internet to explain what you mean by this term, charger.

#6  Corporate wokeness is about to get way worse, and the Harris administration will use your tax dollars to save them from the results.

Sorry, spergatarians, looks like that marginal revolution has been postponed again.

At least you got your legal weed and manbuttsex.

#1  In other words, the supporters of this legislation are saying this is the start of CA's program of reparations. Lots more of this on the way.
