DEI killed any Semicon boom

The right to enter into contracts or to buy and sell property does not imply a right to force others to contract with us or transfer property to us, much less make us feel valued and included. Part of the conceptual confusion here arises from the presumption that “rights” reflect democratic values and any entitlements agreed upon by majority vote. Progressives suppose that any claim agreed upon by a majority is tantamount to a right, from which it follows that legal force is required to protect and enforce that right.

In truth, democratic values are not the same thing as rights. The rights to life, liberty, and property are based on self-ownership and vest equally in each human being. Life, liberty, and property are individual rights, not merely “shared values.” These rights are often described as inalienable, meaning that nobody has power or authority to abolish them. Even if a majority were to agree by democratic process to divest others of these basic rights, that agreement would not abolish those rights but would simply constitute tyranny.

JDB, your post offers an interesting take on how a bipartisan bill dealing with a broad range of initiatives (national defense, funding businesses, hiring employees, etc.) can become controversial once administered by the executive branch.

This CATO Institute commentary article illustrates all the strings attached to this bill which can and might be challenged in court or in the public political arena.

On the subject of DEI the article in part states...

Third, there’s a random assortment of social policy baked into the subsidy application. For example, applicants must provide an “equity strategy” discussing the specific steps they’ll take “to attract economically disadvantaged individuals and promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA). (This DEIA factor is also one of the aforementioned “Good Jobs Principles” that applicants are encouraged to adopt.)

Job report for Feb 275 K new jobs,yep the Libs are ruining the economy keep, telling your lies GOP. People die for lack of knowledge. DEI is needed because one group is afraid of equality . Keep on trying to keep us down.
