As usual, actual ability, performance, or experience is not relevant to the woke.
Might as well just put Hunter Biden on all the boards.
--------------------------------------------
Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today filed a proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to adopt new listing rules related to board diversity and disclosure. If approved by the SEC, the new listing rules would require all companies listed on Nasdaq’s U.S. exchange to publicly disclose consistent, transparent diversity statistics regarding their board of directors. Additionally, the rules would require most Nasdaq-listed companies to have, or explain why they do not have, at least two diverse directors, including one who self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as either an underrepresented minority1 or LGBTQ+.

    So being qualified to do the job is no longer the main concern. I suppose we had to see that coming and it will not surprise
    anyone.

    Ability, experience and performance are now secondary to the "diversity goals" and it's all BS. Success is earned not given.

    I find this pretty concerning. For the life of me...I can't figure out this fascination with what people have in their pants, if they stand or sit to weewee, etc. I'm sorry - but, I just don't see a bunch of blonde, blue-eyed straight males on the rampage these days. I am one. I just don't see it...

    All in the name of diversity -- what ever in hell that crap is. How about they also include bust sizes and genital dimensions. Must be diverse in all areas, eh?

    The purpose of a BOD is to guide companies successfully...not by political or societal values.

    How dare these idiots try to dictate who will sit on which Board of Directors?
