Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Musk Says "People Will Die Due To DEI"
Transcript
- 0:03Well, here's the headline. This is from the post millennial. Elon Musk
- 0:06says people will die due to DEI as airlines revealed to prioritize diversity hiring over
- 0:14safety. So DEI, that's diversity, equity and inclusion. Now when it
- 0:20comes to DEI, I think that most sane people, when they're confronted with
- 0:25something like well, having to have a surgery done, they are going to
- 0:29say, I just want the most competent person, period. That's the only
- 0:35metric that I care about when I'm getting a surgery done. I would say
- 0:39the same for when you're getting on a plane. You know, just everybody
- 0:43involved from the aircraft manufacturer, maintenance, all the way up to the pilot
- 0:48to the air traffic controllers. These should be the most competent people period.
- 0:54That should be the only consideration, cause you know, you don't want to
- 0:59die. And Elon Musk kind of sum this up perfectly here. He had
- 1:03a conversation on Twitter with Mark Cuban, and Mark Cuban was trying to educate
- 1:07Elon on DEI, and he writes a bunch of frankly, just utter bullshit,
- 1:14which is totally misleading and not actually what DEI actually means in practice,
- 1:19and Elon Musk had the perfect retort to this. He said, cool,
- 1:23So what should we expect to see a short white or Asian woman on the
- 1:27MAVs. Well, you're never going to see a short white or Asian woman
- 1:34on the MAVs, obviously, because Mark Cuban wants his basketball team to win,
- 1:38and it really does so just starkly illustrate the utter bullshit that comes out
- 1:44of virtue signalers like Mark Cuban and Elon Musk replied to this tweet from James
- 1:49Lindsay. He said, do you want to fly in an airplane where they
- 1:52prioritized DEI hiring over your safety? This is actually happening and he's responding to
- 1:59this tweet from James Lindsay. It says, let's have a close look at
- 2:01Boeing and DEI. Boeing's corporate filings with the SEC reveal that beginning in twenty
- 2:08twenty two, the annual bonus plan to reward CEO and executives for increasing profit
- 2:15for shareholders and prioritizing safety was changed to reward them if they hit DEI targets.
- 2:23It says, for twenty twenty two we will add two other focus areas
- 2:27critical to our long range business plan, climate and diversity, equity and inclusion.
- 2:35So whereas in twenty twenty one under operational performance to that product safety,
- 2:38employee safety and quality, now they've added these other things which have nothing to
- 2:44do with that. So if the executives want their bonuses, they've got a
- 2:49new consideration one that isn't about getting you home safe. In fact, it's
- 2:53guaranteed to make it less safe for you. Because when you sacrifice merit for
- 2:59diverse, the equity and inclusion, well something's got to give. It's gotta
- 3:04be the merit part. And it's not just a manufacturer like Boeing, it's
- 3:07all the airlines themselves. Here are American airlines. Here's their Diversity, Equity
- 3:12and Inclusion page. Here you've got intentional recruitment and advancement that means quota's based
- 3:19on something other than merit, and it's all of the airlines here United They've
- 3:23got their DEI page Southwest DEI page. If they need a pilot to fill
- 3:29up a quota to get their bonus, and they have to pick from a
- 3:31smaller pool of candidates from a specific group, well inevitably, quality is going
- 3:38to fall. It's just a numbers game. Up to forty percent of the
- 3:42executive's potential pay is in that annual incentive pay program, which is tied to
- 3:47hitting DEI targets. For those just catching on, DEI doesn't have anything to
- 3:53do with aircraft manufacturing or safety. How about this. Boeing didn't just mandate
- 3:59DEI. Boeing it also prioritized ESG and DEI in their supply chain, which
- 4:04suggests that they didn't look for the best suppliers on quality and safety on objective
- 4:11metrics, but focused on meeting their ESG goals instead, Which just might bring
- 4:16to mind that Boeing seven thirty seven from Alaska Airlines where the door plug flew
- 4:21out mid flight. Says maker of Boeing door plugs was sued over quality failures
- 4:27before mid air Alaska Airlines blowout. Now, I don't know if this is
- 4:31directly connected to their DEI policy, but it seems like the sort of thing
- 4:36that would be connected to it, and the sort of thing that you could
- 4:40absolutely expect to happen. Now. Of course, the mainstream media is in
- 4:44complete denial about any of this. Here, NBC News Elon Musk, criticized
- 4:48by civil rights groups overclaimed that diversity efforts make flying less safe. In several
- 4:55posts on x must claimed without evidence. Without evidence, mind you, that
- 5:00diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives put airline customers in danger. It explicitly does.
- 5:08These documents that James Lindsay is showing here prove that it does. I
- 5:13don't see how shifting your focus away from safety to the climate and wokeness could
- 5:19do anything else anyway. That's all I'm going to say about that. Please
- 5:23subscribe, like and share sharing. It really helps me out. I thank
- 5:27you for that. I will see you next time.
