It seems every corporation is embracing DEI policies. In some cases, a corporation putting their focus on "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" wouldn't make a lick of difference to you, but there are some fields where this could become a problem. 

The airline industry is one of those cases. You want everyone who does their job in this industry to be at the top of their game, be it the people who put the airplane together or the people who fly it. Your safety and well-being depend on a long line of competent people doing their jobs correctly. 

But the airline industry doesn't seem to believe this. As Ward Clark reported on Sunday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is willing to drastically decrease their standards for competency if it means they can increase the diversity in the way that employees simply look or, more egregiously, to make sure that the mental health of their employees also looks diverse. This means they want to hire people with "severe intellectual disability." 

No, that's a direct quote: 

The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer "severe intellectual" disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website. 

"Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring," the FAA’s website states. "They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism."

It doesn't stop there. Airline corporations are getting into the DEI game as well. In an interview with Axios, the CEO of United Airlines, John Scott Kirby, bragged that his company was leading the way in focusing on hiring based on race and sex.

This presents a myriad of issues, the least of which is that in order to seem less sexist and racist, the airline industry has embraced racism and sexism, hiring someone specifically for their skin color and plumbing, not their merit, talent, or competency. 

The largest issue here is that without that focus on merit, talent, and competency, you invite disaster. Imagine an airplane is built by someone who doesn't do their due diligence in making sure the parts they're using are of the highest quality. Imagine they take shortcuts because they don't care as much or, more likely, would have been passed over because their competency was provenly not as good as the guy who was passed over due to skin color, and a shoddy part was shodily used to build a plane. 

Imagine that part later causes an issue during flight, and while a more talented pilot would have been able to handle it, this less talented pilot fails to do what's necessary to keep the passengers safe and crashes the plane.

People will have died because a series of people who didn't deserve to be there got jobs more talented people should have had. 

That's not to say there aren't a lot of talented women or that only white people are capable of being the most competent person in the room, but white men shouldn't be passed over if they are the most talented or competent person for the job. Lives literally depend on it.

But the nature of DEI isn't a concern for anything but a supposed equality of outcome, which is nothing but Marxism disguised as "social justice." Marxism has never been concerned with people's lives, merit, competency, or anything that would actually advance a society. Marxism's chief concern has always been the consolidation of power by any means necessary. 

In an age where everything is social justice compliance for corporations, DEI is the order of the day, which means a sort of corporate Marxism has to be enacted. 

And Corporate Marxism is going to get people killed.
