Really simple, right? D is diversity, and that means you just expand your pool of potential applicants to people who you might not otherwise have access to. To look where you didn't look before, to look where other people aren't looking for quality employees. That simple. And the E in equity means when you hire somebody, you put them in a position to succeed.

The I inclusion is when you've hired somebody and they may not be typical, if you will, right? You show them some love and give them support they need so they can do their job as best they can and feel comfortable and confident going to work. It's that simple.

There's a lot to unpack there, right? So first, you can't do quotas. They're illegal unless you're, and I'm not the lawyer on this subject, but unless you're trying to repair something that's happened in the past, like some discrimination that's happened in the past. So it's not quota-based. And I think that's really just kind of a straw man that people put out there.

Now, does that mean that there aren't DEI programs that are implemented poorly? Of course not. There are everything that's implemented poorly in one company to another, right? Sales, marketing, human resources. You can pick any element of business and find companies that implement it poorly.

Um, but that's the beauty of capitalism in a free market or mostly free market where if you make these choices and they are the wrong choices, you're going to lose your best people. You're not going to be able to hire the best people. You're not going to execute on your business plans in the way that we discussed, regardless of the size of the company. And it also, I think,

Depends on where you're having the discussion. So when I'm in a different group of people off of X, the feedback's completely different, right? But to your question of reverse racism, yes, it happens. I mean, because people are people. There's no human being that is 100% objective. And it's also...

How do you tell one janitor from the other who's the best, right? How do you tell one salesperson that you're hiring versus another you're hiring? Because they haven't sold your product yet, so you don't know. We talked earlier about firing people because you made mistakes. And, you know... Yes, there's discrimination against any group, white, Asian, black, green, orange, whatever it may be.
