Every major corporation has ESG and DEI statements. Our civilization is collapsing under the weight of incompetence and illogic that these initiatives bring.

How long until a plane goes down due to pilots being hired based on diversity quotas and not skill? How many people will die due to surgeons and doctors being hired for DEI standards and not whether they are good at their jobs?

Doctors are already the leading cause of death - the majority of which are deaths by doctors who believe they're doing the right thing.... like wrong diagnosis leading to wrong treatment. Malfeasance & incompetence of course are also a big factor.

Allopathic medicine is one of, if not THE biggest downfall of western history, ever since Rockefeller took over and the Flexner report deemed all naturopathic, chiropractic, and homeopathic doctors as "quacks" and those courses were no longer accredited. (That has slowly changed over recent decades but I urge everyone to look into this).

This example of the failure of allopathic medicine should prove how incompetence & blatant malfeasance has ruined society.

BRAVO!!!!👏

When was the last time a DOCTOR said take: C, D3, Iodine, Magnesium, B12, Zinc...walk, get in the sunshine and fresh air, etc? C’mon...give me a break!

It was one thing for them to not tell us to do healthy things, but with Covid they specifically forbid healthy things like fresh air, sunshine, exercise, low stress and spending time with family.

Whatever TPTB tell me to do, I usually do the opposite.

Right on the money! Before covid, modern stone-age medicine was killing over 300,000 patients every year with their quackery.

Conrad Jules Aska crash of Atlas Air Flight 3591 on February 23, 2019.

"Investigators called the co-pilot who was flying the jet a “train wreck” during training."

"Aska didn’t mention in his job application to Atlas that he’d been employed briefly by two other carriers, but had departed after being unable to complete training, according to the NTSB."

"Lack of understanding of how unsafe he was': A pilot in Amazon Air's crashed cargo plane raised safety concerns at previous employers and repeatedly failed key exams"

Check out the pilot who crashed an Amazon plane in Chicago killing him and the 2 other people on board.

Another great article. Does anyone know of a mutual fund to invest in that is anti-woke, anti-ESG and anti-DEI? Or specific corporations? I am not sure there are many public companies that still exist that don't fall for this crap. I sold all of my stock because I can't stand all these companies that hate me. I'll take 4.3% in my Schwab Money Market over investing in this crap even though I'm sure Schwab is woke too.

Companies are forced into ESG and DEI because if they don't comply, and instead resist or otherwise make trouble, all of a sudden that 'off the narrative' company has massive problems. Access to capital problems, regulation problems, tax problems, permitting problems, legal problems, attacks from proxy army problems. The whole Woke West is now terror state model. Go off key and you get terrorized by the god-state.

Public/Private Partnership Fascism is plain and simple a Marxist control mechanism. And my, how they know how the bait the hook with grants, tax incentive, and so on.

Agreed. All the more reason we need anti-ESG,DEI,Woke funds and investors to support anti-ESG,DEI, Woke companies.

Insanity All Around. Here in Roanoke we have Trans problem, a witch and Satan problem. It won't last forever, but we shall surely go through Hell deeper than what we have so far experienced. Diversity and Inclusion. I feel enriched already!

Jordan,

May I offer a different perspective.

Having worked on a Class 1 railroad (freight) as a conductor and locomotive engineer, I can tell you, this type of neglect and negligence, was happening long before ESG and DIE, were "popular".

Could they have played a part, sure, but probably less so, than the every day work practices, pushed by a greed driven company and a "do just enough" unionized work force.

Decades of complacency and pushing maintenances and crew schedules to breaking points...to maximize tonnage moved, plays a major part here. Additionally, the cost of preemptively fixing a problem, sometimes seem larger, than the looming...might happen, might not...crash and subsequent lawsuits.

Here's a scenario for you.

Each car of a train has 2 brake shoes per wheel. They understandably wear down. There is a minimum tolerance, before they need to be replaced. Lets say a train crew gets on a train, that is out in a siding (away from a depot), at 2am and doesn't notice that the brakes in 1/3 of the cars are close to the limits. Or they notice, report it and are told, write it up and log it in your end of tour report. This is normal, as the work is usually done at larger depots...not out in the field.

More likely, on a 120 car train, at 2am, the conductor is just making sure the brake shoe IS THERE, not that it's within a 1/8" to being out of limits. Half way into the trip and coming down a steep grade with a 17,000+ ton train, the engineer finds he doesn't have as much braking power as might be expected, with good brakes. Accidents happen.

There are track side hot bearing detectors, and flat spot detectors, that identify these issues, as a train passes. Here's the rub (especially on single track - one track serving trains going in one or both directions.), stopping to investigate (which crews do) or make repairs, is a productivity/schedule killer for the company. Yes there are sidings, but the push will be to get the train to/close to, the next depot, so ALL the cars in the train are not delayed.

The RR pays penalties to shippers, if certain freight is not delivered on time. Again, the gamble is...the chances of a wreck and lawsuit are small, so the delay looks more grave, by comparison. Airlines take the same calculated risks in every flight, you just don't know it.

There are 101 reasons, that these accident happen, and ESG/DIE are the least of them.

I've picked up a consist of power (string of motors for my train) from the roundhouse (motor maintenance facility) and found major safety issues in each motor, that would be violations, had I started the trip with them. How could that happen at the facility, that is responsible to fuel, clean, fix and check them, for readiness and operability?? Apathy, company policies to turn motors around as quickly as possible and no company accountability.

It may not be popular, but it's a matter of odds...flip a coin enough times and you get a ratio of heads and tails. Same with accidents, where humans, old-poorly maintained machinery and a system of profit at any cost, exists.

Last item I always tell people...There is only ONE place in the entire universe, that you can be hit or killed by a train...that is ON THE TRACK. Stay off the tracks!! There is no good reason EVER, to stop on the tracks. If you are stopped on them (because you are stupid) and the gates start to come down, get out of the car and get off the tracks. Did I mention you should stay off the tracks?? Ok, enough said, you have been warned.

See the most recent comment under my post.

The cargo was "mislabled." The killer train was ILLEGAL. This was a criminal act.

Read the list of the biggest owners of Norfolk and Southern. That's the biggest tell of them all. And then remember how killing off the little people and their businesses and means of survival was high priority Fake-demic. But let them Big Box Companies flourish. Kind of says it all, doesn't it.

Just common sense alone dictates that DEI is a poor agenda to follow. Case in point, the US population is roughly 13% blacks, therefore, you will by statistics have a smaller pool of qualified individuals within this 13% to draw from! So you are forced to hire unqualified people if you want to maintain a certain race ratio.

From the article: Forget about the mushroom cloud and toxic gasses they helped to launch over East Palestine. In its ESG section, Norfolk Southern has won plenty of award
