The phrase diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) has become ubiquitous in corporate boardrooms, academic circles, and even casual conversations. But while the acronym and variations are well known, the concepts are often misunderstood, misapplied, ignored, and—most recently—weaponized.
Brands like Lowe’s and Toyota have recently cut back on their DEI commitments. However, many other companies continue to believe that DEI is good for business and workers.
Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Jack Daniels, Ford, Toyota—each of these brands has recently rolled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

During a sleepy lunchtime at Slow’s Bar BQ in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, servers discussed the idea of eliminating taxes on their tips, a proposal floated by both presidential candidates. “We already don’t get paid a minimum wage, and we just keep on getting taxed so heavy,” said Mylikka Phelps. “There were times I was behind this bar on a Monday morning, and I’m...
