It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

What a fatuous performance. I designed training courses in many different industries. I wouldn't pretend to be an authority in them, but I could give you a 60-second overview of , say, pharma packaging or vendor-managed inventory--client projects from more than 15 years ago.

He's probably been over-coached and wouldn't want to claim he *KNOWS* that the sun rises in the east, because does it really rise? And how does he know what "East" really means without checking an executive order.

I actually don't think he does know what DEI is as a concept. He probably knows what the letters stand for, and assumes it's anti- white male.

Let’s just invite the laziest, most ignorant, unqualified assholes in to handle a process that requires careful thought and respect. Oh, and then they’ll just use a chatbot. Fucking perfect. All the things that I loathe in one place.
