@meatball545 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel Thanks! I'm familiar with "broader impacts statements" that let you tiptoe around legal issues. Still the same thing. Great conversation Meatball. It's past my bedtime. Have a good night.

@LLighter23 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel Here’s the article I mentioned connmaciel.com/are-dei-progra…

My dad is driving to DC for the first time since my mom died in Jan and he hit a deer. He called @AAA_Travel for help and a tow & they asked to speak to my mother. He informed them she just died & they said he can’t use the policy then & left a 70 year old grieving man stranded

@meatball545 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel I used to really embrace DEI concepts, but they started to take over as the main event, rather than a consideration in decision-making. I worry that DEI has actually harmed people from some groups because now everyone is suspicious as to your qualifications.

@LLighter23 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel

@meatball545 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel That's very possible, because I think so much has gone downhill in every way (you should see the state of the roads in Colorado!) DEI is wrapped up in that decline. When you focus on Identity vs merit and accomplishments, the outcomes will suffer. It also breeds division

@LLighter23 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel This is more of conjecture than an argument, but when you begin to overtly focus on companies that “go down the DEI road” you begin to subconsciously expose yourself to confirmation bias, when you see the companies go downhill when likely they’ve been going downhill for awhile

@meatball545 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel I'm a sister actually, and again you have a point. Agree, it's a weak argument regarding anecdotal evidence. However, my observation is that when companies go down the DEI road....they never improve, ever. I have enjoyed our discussion. I like civil conversations.

@LLighter23 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel Brother your school teachers failed you Correlation ≠ causation Just because your friends had to wait for hours during the “dei” craze doesn’t mean it caused that

@meatball545 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel I see your point, but when companies focus on DEI, they lose focus on what really matters: providing a service. In the past we've had great service from AAA, but the last few years, I've had friends wait for hours and they never came. This story is an example of that.

@LLighter23 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel It seems like you’re the one prioritizing politics???? This is strictly a service issue that op had

@meatball545 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel It is relevant because they are prioritizing made-up identity politics over actually providing a decent service. They are not the company they once were

@LLighter23 @julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel How is that relevant at all??????????

@SenWarren So taxes on assets? That’s actually insane

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@senor_trout @GoldRivers @WallStreetMav That’s encouraging. How do you know? Do you work in tech?

@GoldRivers @WallStreetMav The fraud coming from Indian job applicants is of biblical proportions. US employers don’t even trust video interviews because of AI. Unless the Indian applicant can be interviewed in person no one wants them any more.

Indian H-1B continue to have difficulty getting appointments to renew their visas. As a result, thousands are "stranded" in India. Well played Stephen Miller🤣

@WallStreetMav Grand Canyon on spring break was FULL of Indians. Lovely families I’m not gonna lie, but how many of them are taking jobs from Americans? Kids were clearly born here so not international tourists.

@ThoughtCrimes80 Cashier in Blanding Utah was cracking up at me putting every item in its own bag last week

Colorado contraband check. ✅

About to hit 110k followers. Thank you for your support. You’ve no idea how much we appreciate you 💪

@KennethRWebster Why on earth do we have foreign born judges?

Watch Fort Bend County Judge KP George get handcuffed after his guilty verdict today He’s going to prison money laundering, but he also created fake social media accounts so he could pretend to harass himself for being Indian. Pathetic.

@HotmerRobin @KyleClark One is too many. We’re also talking about high school. Jeffco alone has 61 boys on girls teams. That’s 61 girls who won’t play because a boy took their spot.

@LLighter23 @KyleClark Fewer than 10 trans athletes out of the 500k NCAA athletes.

Evangelical Christians have successfully placed two anti-trans measures on the November ballot to "stop the transgender plague in Colorado." The initiatives sidestep the Democrat-controlled legislature, which a ballot measure organizer says is inhabited by "actual demons."

@dnvr_is_burning @SenatorBennet Do you remember when a plane at Stapleton was slammed to the ground by a microburst killing everyone? Do you know why that doesn’t happen anymore? NCAR. Just one of many ways NCAR science makes your life safer and better.

@SenatorBennet Science, like every other institution, has been corrupted by unchecked leftism Defund it

I joined Coloradans at the Stand Up for Science Rally to fight back against this Administration's dangerous anti-science agenda. Trump is rolling back pollution standards, denying climate science, and threatening to gut NCAR — the backbone of our nation’s weather and disaster research. Wildfires and drought have shown Coloradans the devastating cost of ignoring science. We won’t stand for Trump's dangerous attacks on the health and safety of our communities.

@SenatorHick Because you cheat

I’m a NO on the SAVE Act.

@DrSuneelDhand My mom was in such a bad rehab center after brain surgery that we had to hire a full time nurse to stay with her. They had like 24 patients for every nurse Orchard Park in Littleton Colorado in 2018.

Never leave your loved one alone in the hospital. Every hour you are allowed to be there, if you are able to, I highly recommend being there. Be perfectly cordial with staff. But watch over everything like a hawk. Trust me on this.

@ThoughtCrimes80 Nederland???!!! I would not have thought that. People are starting to wake up…although probably NOT in Ned

Colorado is sleeping on a problem.

@ThoughtCrimes80 Sorry but you are wrong. The military and the FAA need NCAR research. The insurance industry relies on NCAR. NCAR protects national security. This is not a partisan issue.

Democrats are crying about NCAR being closed in Boulder. Nothing was lost. It will be a Spirit Halloween store before you know it. 👻
