ETA: The all out assault on "DEI" is pretty astounding. Companies engaged in combination of marketing and typical HR cya are apparently and affront to equality now.

If you are hiring people based on racial/ethnic/sexual identity and not much else, this is problematic. But even then... is it any more problematic than hiring people based on their family connections? I'm having a hard time seeing a difference between hiring people because a company wants to improve the diversity of its workforce (even just as marketing) and hiring nepo babies or Senators' or CEOs' kids who are good for business reasons. Both are strategic choices based on a desire to improve the company.
Seems the govt should stay out of this, as all it can do is sow confusion and create annoying new rules and regulations that will help no one.
Threatening businesses with criminal charges is too ridiculous to dignify with a serious response. I have to put that in the bucket, with so many other recent missives, labeled: Shit Trump Knows He Cannot Do But Suggests to Bully/Troll Opponents.
