To save us all looking, maybe you could give us a quick heads up as to "the meaning of workplace diversity", and how this Diversity training helps ;)

Starting a discussion 101. Don't tell people to look up anything, you are advancing a theory that they may not have the intelligence to do so.

Where possible provide reasoned evidence to back up your point or link to something you feel does.

If you need to ask that question, how can you pronounce on its being racist?

Exactly. And anyone who had actually done any would understand that it's nothing to do with reverse racism.

Should any one who has had the need to do it be bragging about it?:)

I see we are drifting off topic again.

Well Joe's approval rating is at 54%, Trumpy was at 41% at the same stage.
Tackling the pandemic instead of dismissing it might have helped.

Trouble Brewing?

Biden backtracks on keeping Trump cap on refugees

Quote:
Mr Biden drew ire on Friday as he held the cap at the historically low figure of 15,000, two months after he pledged to increase it to 65,500.

Reports say Mr Biden is concerned about letting in more people amid a record influx at the US-Mexico border.

Left-wing New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: "Upholding the xenophobic and racist policies of the Trump admin, incl the historically low + plummeted refugee cap, is flat out wrong. Keep your promise."
I'm pretty sure Ms Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be keen to offer homes, employment and free health care to those who arrive ;)

Biden wants to impose tariffs on the UK.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57334261

Quote:
The US has announced and immediately suspended tariffs on about $2bn (£1.4bn) of imports in retaliation for taxes on its tech firms.

The 25% tariffs apply to certain goods from the UK, as well as Austria, India, Italy, Spain, and Turkey.

US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said the delay would allow more time for discussions on tax.

"The US remains committed to reaching a consensus on international tax issues," she said.

It comes after a year-long US investigation into digital services taxes put in place by the six countries, which tax tech firms on their revenues, rather than profits.

Washington previously described the taxes as "unreasonable" and "discriminatory" against American social media companies, online marketplaces and tech firms.

The US government said it will approve the threatened tariffs on $887m of UK goods, as well as on $383m of Italian goods and $323m of Spanish products.
Of course, you know my attitude: Sod 'em. It's bad enough that we have the EU bully to our East. At least we can hit the USA with taxes on their digital companies.

It’s a negotiating tactic…

Quote:
But it suspended the introduction of the tariffs immediately for up to 180 days as talks on how to tax tech companies with a global footprint continue in the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Probably not wise to say "sod ‘em" to our largest individual export market (US$57.5 billion (14.3% of total UK exports)).

The Biden administration want to impose a minimum “ global “ rate of corporation tax, the U.K. hasn’t signed up to the idea as yet. This is just pressure from sleepy Joe’s team to push Dishy Rishi into agreeing.

As you know, Rishi is holding out (I hope he keeps to that) for US agreement on fair taxation of the digital companies.

By imposing a global minimum corporation tax, the US completely stuffs the countries in respect of their ability to compete for investment whilst at the same time leaving the UK with 4/5 of 5/8 of eff-all in respect of the digital companies.

I can see how Biden's proposal could level the playing field with the likes of Ireland - but the EU will likely be dealing with that anyway (under some Health/Safety Directive, of course). But then Biden says he's Irish. No friend at all and we need to stand up to him.
