I feel the best person should get the job or gain admission to school. I do not feel that there should be any kind of racism, but also do not feel that because someone is of a certain color, religion or sexual orientation, they should be given a job. I always hire the best people. I don't care what they believe in or what they do in the bedroom. I believe that as a business owner or manager, you have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value. Hiring someone because they are of a certain persuasion is not the way to do that. Hires someone because they are the best candidate regardless of their persuasion. I do not believe in teaching young kids transgender issues. At 5 years old, they cannot understand. Too many schools are pushing DEI and that is wrong in my opinion. Companies and educators went overboard. Companies spent BILLIONS on this stuff. Schools were pushing DEI mandates and woke teachers were pushing kids to become trans. One of the reasons I pulled my daughter from a school was I did not agree with what some teachers were preaching in school. Pushing DEI and telling kids lies. Thanks for the support. Glad you like the notes. I give anyone and everyone a chance in my firms. I don't care who you are. I just wont hire you unless you are qualified.
Hi Eric. I was introduced to your newsletter by a client. I am a CPA and I own/run a family office tax firm. I also live in Miami Beach as a snowbird in the winter. So I value a
Lot of what you write from multiple perspectives. I align with you on many cultural and political topics. I just wanted to give you feedback on one area that maybe I am not crystal clear on where you stand. On the topic of DEI and transgender rights I have gotten the impression on a couple of occasions that you approve of the current administration’s actions and views. Hopefully I’m wrong. While flawed, DEI is important for the visibility of various biases present in our society. I think it holds value. While it may need improvement & enhancement it certainly does not warrant eradication. As the father of a daughter and a person of Jewish heritage I hope you agree with that sentiment. I am both myself. Another area of concern to me is the complete disregard for transgender identity and rights. What this administration is doing to this group is despicable. You can be against gender affirming care for minors without calling for the extinguishing of a certain group. Transgender people just want to live their lives and be happy with who they are authentically. Asking them to not exist is a ridiculous notion I thought was learned after the holocaust.
