America's Affirmative Action Problem

A problem we've posted about here before is the impact of affirmative action and DEI ("Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion") on America's institutions. For example, last month, we talked about how this is impacting aviation. 

This week, Revolver has an exclusive on the impact this ideology is having in our legal system and government. Dr. Darren Beattie, the founder of Revolver, was kind enough to let us excerpt it below. Before we get to it, we have a brief earnings trade update.
