I said I agree its silly, but if you think its communism, then you obviously do not know what communism is. It also has nothing to do with equal outcomes, just silly politics pandering to the minorities.

I said on the path to communism, and yes it absolutely is.

With communism unequal outcomes are viewed as the root of all evil, regardless of if someone has been sitting on their ass and another person has been working hard nights and weekends. Everybody is supposed to get the same, and in practice that just means bringing everyone else down

How on earth do you link her call to have minority groups on corporate boards to equal outcomes to all citizens?

You are not making any sense, which is why I suspect you have no idea what you are saying.

She is pandering to minorities for whatever reason. I don't know what her motivation is making such silly comments, but a person like her is probably the last to call for communism.

I suspect, actually I know, that you are stubbornly ignoring the realities of the far left ideology.

Firstly, it's not just "minority groups" it's also specifically LGBTQ+ community members. What on Earth does it matter who you sleep with on how competent you are to manage a publicly traded company?

Secondly, what does someone's skin color have to do with competence? That's racist as you can get

The whole exercise is to redistribute outcomes, regardless of merit, which is COMMUNISM. There is just no way around that irrespective of her virtue signalling intentions.

It doesn't. That's why I call it silly.

Please explain the connection between these minorities in corporate boards and equal outcomes for all citizens. You insist there is a connection, but you can't even begin to explain it, because there is no connection.

NASDAQ, the company she runs, practically defines capitalism.

I just did, you are CHOOSING to ignore it.

So I'll repeat again, forcing employment positions based on superficial quotas is a communist principle of enforcing equality of outcome irrespective of qualifications.

In a functional society, everyone gets a fair shot to work their way up and earn the position.If it happens to be 10 straight white men, that's just the way it is no matter how much you want to put that square peg in the round hole

This actually makes me think, is there going to be a test? Polygraph? If not, just have one person say "yea, I'm bi" and that's that. I can certainly see some straight guy or girl just saying that in order to move this along.
