They could address those items if they want, but if they don't get rid
of the DEI bullshit it won't do any good, the industry will continue
to cave in on itself.
It's not that DEI is inherently bad, it's that the US has implemented it so poorly and inefficiently that it needed to be axed. I believe in a need for a diverse ruling cabinet, but not if they are going to penalize white males to get there. It's time for some discussion about what was sought.
To contribute to the thread:
Worst trend = wall climbing
I don't mind wall running, but wall climbing is 1) unrealistic 2) Not the way controls were meant to be worked. 3) deliberate obfuscation of what could be a good feature.
Maybe it could work if you didn't have to pull a 'Ken uppercut' each time to do it. On every wall.
