It is corporate welfare. It's hiring people with no useful skills to espouse communist propaganda within your organization. Why? Because it's cheaper to do that than to make meaningful changes to your hiring practice that would actually improve the ability of disadvantaged people to get real jobs in engineering.

Nobody in the C-suite of a corporation is a communist. That's like saying the HR department exists to help unionize the workers.

These are some wild takes, it's only Monday my dude.

"my dude" is used by people in a clear and narrow ideological perspective, if you see someone using "my dude" in the context where I can predict their political bent, and position on just about every social issue facing society today

I have no idea what you're talking about, my dude. I am just using it because it seems trendy today, otherwise I have never heard it before, my dude.

I think its use probably has a loose correlation to younger, east coast, Big Lebowski fans.

Which as we know puts you down an irreversible ideological path of... something?

You have no meaningful understanding of "communism". And I see you denying climate change in another thread, so it's probably safe to say that your opinions are worth very little.

"communist propaganda". Again, another public artifact of you making yourself look like a complete embarrassment. Thanks for sharing.
