So actually, it's kind of... So you remember this. I do. Yeah, I guess I do. More so than anybody. But yeah, you couldn't speak up during this time frame. That was the problem. And then at the same time, you had all these companies that made all these pledges. I mean, the chief diversity officers. This really wasn't even a position before 2020. What do you make?

I mean, but this is crazy. Like, you know, and then all of a sudden there was like a 400% increase and chief diversity officer position. And these were all high six figure salary positions. All the executive level. What do you do if you're a diversity officer? This is the problem. You find things to do. And this was the problem. So the first thing was the whole pronoun police comes in.

Yeah, a lot of people did. But this is the problem as well. A lot of people just went along with it because they felt if you didn't, then you could be called out by your HR team.

And I think that's what's part of the problem. Now what's nice is that I think people have the ability to say, you know what, I'm not going to do that. But three years ago, you couldn't. Three years ago was... The whole thing is designed to degrade you.
