What is DEI? A simple explanation:
There’s an empty Fruit Basket. The Left said, fill this Basket with Different Fruits. The Right contended that, this basket should only be filled by either Apples or Oranges or preferably ONE Fruit only, especially G.I. Certified. The Centrists’ came and opined that, this Fruit Basket shalt only be filled by Fresh Quality G.I. Certified ‘Different’ Fruits. The Right agreed with the Centrists that, as the Fresh G.I. Certified Different Fruits were acceptable to them. The Left said, so what if a Fruit is not Originated, not indicating its Geographical Indication; put those Fruits also in the Basket which are Not G.I. Certified. The Right didn’t accept this. Centrists sided with Right, as Centrists did a lot of investments in DEI, so they wanted a good ROI. Companies like Blackrock accepted this Centrists + Right formula, to put Different Fruits under DEI of those who’ve G.I. Certification. This made Left to oppose both Right & Centrists.
Alas, at the end of the day, DEI ended! BECAUSE, the Left didn’t know what random Fruits they were putting in the Basket. The Right didn’t know that the Geographical Certification was all bought, manipulated, and overrated. And the Centrists got their work done in any case, remaining on the good books of everyone!
No one calculated or asked this question that:
this empty Fruit Basket would be arranged for whom? No one calculated or asked this question that: people with Acid Reflux can’t eat citric fruits like Oranges; those who’ve Diabetes would prefer Black Current over Apples or Oranges or Grapes; and so on, with different permutations and combinations, this empty Fruit Basket ought to have been arranged.
Alas, that didn’t happen! ☹
