Stand your ground!

I doubt the SCrOTUS will see it that way. Where’s all of the Republicans shouting about big gubberment going after someone who has money?

Republicans are all about keeping government out of businesses until the business does something they don't like. The hypocrisy never ends.

Getting the government off the backs of businesses.

And "frivolous lawsuits are ruining America".

And probably 20 other instances of their hypocrisy.

government interference with Costco's success and free market standing.

Costco should issue a press release today, now, right this second!

They have to stand their ground and they have the moral and legal high ground!

I'll be there on a checkout line making purchases.

Used to be there for the deals and excellent Kirkland products. Now it's to support my favorite store, which has a reputation for being good to its employees.

Costco needs to know that we will keep shopping there (or won't if they change these policies). What ever is so wrong about policies that increase diversity, inclusiveness and equitable treatment of employees? Right is getting away with making this sound like affirmative action, when it is SO much more than that!

To the other 18: F--k you. If Costco is doing something illegal, take 'em to court.

To paxton: F--k you. With a chainsaw.

Let's see those court dates. I would love it if Costco would sue the fuck out of those idiots for as many things as they can come up with in return. I also hope that they will draw it out so that these AGs will have to pony up the court costs, because you know damned well the state will be the one doing the paying. THAT might get some traction with those people in the red states who are not inhuman swine.

We need a champion to get behind. When government tells you how to think, act, live, and love, it's no longer a government FOR THE PEOPLE. The people who are against Costco's DEI initiative, are the same ones that have a problem flashing their cards about 12" lower than they are used to. Screw them. Costco will continue to get my business.
Don't fold FIGHT!

I clicked on the link to the USAToday article only to be greeted by some of the most gross, unattractive, ugly, vomit-inducing ads I have ever seen.

But I will say the person in the embedded video at the OP link was definitely what you describe!

Fuck these Nazi assholes. It is not against Federal Law. Executive orders are not law.

Here's a question you can ask any MAGAt spewing about DEI: Ask them if they think that companies, that answer to boards and shareholders, are purposely hiring unqualified people to satisfy DEI requirements. They won't have an answer for you.

…and most probably wont be able to answer that either.

To FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF!

There is nobody, nobody, with smaller penis' than republicans.

part of the DEI policies have earned their place at COSTCO...its as simple as that, on the other hand, most new trump officials do not deserve to be in positions trump has chosen them for because they have zero merit for the jobs and represent a danger to the country and the World, as a matter of fact, trump is the first to be sitting at a position he has zero merit for, but then again, the goal is to destroy the USA, these "ideas and orders" are coming from Putin, and the buffoon is complying with all of them, Putin's goal has always been to create chaos in the World, the buffoon is following the orders to the letter.

when Deep Seek built and infrastructure for $5.6 million. He's got all these bloated tech gurus and wants to waste money on them.

Iowa attorney general Byrd is a dei hire . Byrd is probably the only homeschooled attorney general in the USA. Her idiot boss gov. Reynolds hired a homeschooled attorney to represent her policies.

Costco tells theose’ puke traitor AGs to go pound sand.

I can only imagine what they might try next. These weasels are nothing but persistent.

As my daughter pointed out, DEI training doesn't just enhance diversity. Company DEI training lays out guidelines on how to treat fellow employees and customers, if respect isn't part of your upbringing.

Just imagine going into any store and asking a clerk for help, and the reply is "F**k off.* Find it yourself." Yeah, boy, I wanna shop in that atmosphere.

These AGs are idiots if they think that they have any legal basis for their efforts

decisions they don't like?

A smart business won't hire anyone who can't do the job. They want people who are educated and experienced. When I worked for a major industry, we were told to respect all other employees. When employees feel they can work without fear of abuse, they will produce more. Good for business

And specifically telling it that it shouldn't do anything to prevent discriminatory employment practices? The problem, of course, is that DEI interferes with the GOP's own affirmative action program for mediocre white males.

if this stuff works. And I say that as a person who isn't a big fan of the way DEI is carried out. Nevertheless, Costco should be able to run its business in any legal way they want. If something they do makes them vulnerable to civil litigation that is for them to decide.

I figured someone threatened them. Now it makes sense.

that pulled their Pride displays, I am not surprised.

and other events - they used to be a big sponsor but the festival has told them to fuck right off.

that they folded like cheap lawn chairs and withdrew their Pride advertising and products in response to pressure from anti-LGBT people.

That made videos of himself in various Targets pulling down signage and asking other customers about God and LGBT+ people. He was repeatedly asked to leave the stores, but Target in the Valley literally moved and took down some displays just because of that asshole. He's a real POS, lives with his mom in Scottsdale.

Eta his name is Ethan Schmidt.

WalMart can pick up the slack with their sweatshop labor junk

"We are a public company and listen to our shareholders, the government has no place in dictating what a indenpendant company can do."

Actually based on what their response was to the group that put that on the ballot at Costco that might be very close to their response.

Right out of the mafia.

And Costco will feel the heat if they don't comply.

This is all very sickening.
