While many segments of American life, from the government to corporate America, are moving away from the toxic, dangerous, and damaging influence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), one major realtor is doubling down.
While Target, McDonald’s, Walmart, and other major corporations announced backing off DEI policies, last week Costco shareholders voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal.
O’Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O’Leary, aka ‘Mr. Wonderful,’ who is also a shareholder in the company, called the decision ‘nuts.’
Speaking with Fox News, O’Leary said, “You know what I find so fascinating is, if you just hire on merit, because I have a huge base of companies to look at that we’re investors in, over 50 of them, you just hire on merit, as we do, you get tremendous diversity because we don’t care if you’re gay or transvestite or you have tattoos or fish hooks in your eyelids. We couldn’t give a damn.”
“Can you do the job? Can you execute on the mandate? Those are the people we advance. If you can do it, I don’t care what planet you came from. You got a job.”
“That actually solves this whole problem. We should have never got ourselves in this place.”
“Regarding Costco, I’m a shareholder. They’re nuts if they think I want them fighting the federal government on policy.”
“I don’t care who took that poll, when? There’s no way you’d get that result today. You don’t fight the attorney general in multiple states. You got to be out of your mind. That’s bad for business.”
“So chop, chop, guys. Figure this out. You’re breaking the law. Get compliant. I mean, hire for merit and advance people that deserve it, and you will find every race, color, gender, everybody will come to the fore.”
