Nineteen Republican attorneys general have called on Costco Wholesale to abandon its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, citing concerns about about discrimination and legal risks

This comes after 98% of the U.S. retailer’s shareholders last week voted against a proposal requesting a report on the risks tied to its diversity and inclusion initiatives, pushing back against the growing scrutiny such policies face.

    I guarantee you that if Costco and other grocery chains implemented mandatory prayer sessions for their employees, these asshats would finally shut up.

      They never shut up, they just get more and more demanding. After this they’ll want all non white employees fired, they’ll want all women fired, they’ll want any fruit and vegetables they sell to be monitored by a gender advisory group to make sure none of their plant species lacks a binary gender expression. Then they’ll demand all the product sold to be gendered male or female, then they’ll want a separate store for men and women, then they’ll want women who shop they be checked for pregnancy or ovulation.

      .

      If you’ve never listened to the people who make these demands, they don’t stop screaming. They never stop screaming. They are fever pitch panic salesmen. Once they get their way on anything, they immediately start screaming about something more extreme.

      I don’t think they’d shut up. I think they’d try to force every other business to do the same!
