Along with the Thousands of Structures Destroyed in Sc Cal Wildfires DEI Is Also Finally Beginning to Go Up in Flames

 

We all mourn and have compassion and empathy for the thousands of structures in the SoCal wildfires that have been destroyed
And the thousands of workers whose employers were burned to the ground and are now unemployed
And the 16 who died when the flames, smoke and ash they could not escape
As TV videos revealed in the wildfire areas almost a nuclear war resulting landscape
Politicians like Newsom and Bass are becoming the targets of the increasing fingers of blame
For cutting firefighting budgets making it much harder to successfully fight the flames
Now another failed institution is taking a mortal hit
Before the fires DEI in L.A.’s government was alive and well and now its proponents are slammed if from power they do not demit
Musk hit the nail as he usually does squarely on its head
DEI really means people subject to it will be DEI dead
The head of the LAFD promoted DEI but to save her tarnished reputation
Is now blaming Bass for Bass’ budget cuts for the current wildfires’ conflagration
The head of the LADPW was appointed to her position because in approaching issues she could use “equity lenses” to direct where the department should incur expenses
People shocked with such DEI bias should not be surprised
FEMA workers during Helene and Milton were told to damaged homes with Trump signs to pass them by
Fortunately the nation is waking up for the need to hire the brightest and the best
DEI programs in higher education and larger corporations are beginning to their DEI programs arrest
The inane march to ram DEI down our throats is beginning to slow
But as the So Cal wildfires revealed we still have a long way to go
