DEI does not influence hiring or firing. The right intentionally conflates DEI, which is creating an inclusive work environment, with affirmative action. The latter was a set of policies that required special consideration for marginalized groups when hiring, and was repealed by SCOTUS in 2023.

Maybe they’re onto something. What if, instead of voting for people based on their ideals and record, we just passed leadership down through bloodline? Has anyone tried that before?

Not a chance. The new ‘infotainment’ clusters integrate necessary features like climate control to prevent aftermarket replacements in most vehicles. I honestly don’t know if any manufacturers even use the single and double DIN standards anymore.

I used to get bad sinus infections from Sudafed. It took me years to figure it out. Apparently it causes inflammation that was obstructing the natural flow of my sinus passages, and the stagnation resulted in frequent infections. Just sharing in case anyone else is struggling with the same.
