Some days, it feels like I'm watching humanity slowly devolve before my eyes. Good for Apple for taking a stand against dark ages thinking. Great potential comes in all colours, genders, and sexual orientations. No matter what those who operate solely on fear say.

so forcing companies to hire not on merit, but on their minority status is a good thing? ugh

You can thank Tim Cook’s “donation” to the inauguration for shareholders being extra emboldened. 

More likely — you can thank Cook’s personal donation for giving Apple the space to stick with their DEI policy. Trump cares more about personal respect/loyalty/approval than about policy. I bet Trump values cooks contribution more because it came from him personally rather than from Apple. And having shown that personal respect, Cook will likely get more of a free pass on how he runs apple.

Who said that LGBTQ or minorities cannot be qualified?  How about hiring the brightest, the best and most talented without regard to their skin color, their plumbing or things that have absolutely nothing to do with things unrelated to the job?  Hire by merit, that's how Apple got out of the garage.

DEI is not the problem at Apple.  There is too much slacking off and lack of productivity.  Work from home needs to be abolished and bring in everybody five days a week.
