SCOTUS makes it easier to sue based on discrimination
If a company uses favored or I favored group status to decide hiring, promotion, and firing practices, it is now much easier to sue for damages. Maybe DEI can finally die.

Who takes over if Stankey leaves/gets booted from his post?
I'm so tired of the "old guard" maintaining control over the company. I DO NOT WANT McElfresh or any other C-Suiter in the position. What fresh thinking leader could we place in that position to breath fresh life in to the company?
