98.7 Percent Of Deere Shareholders Reject Anti-DEI Resolution
98.7 Percent Of Deere Shareholders Reject Anti-DEI Resolution
At its annual meeting, Deere & Co shareholders overwhelmingly told anti-DEI interests to take their hate and shove it.
Only a fool would turn away talent because of their skin color, gender, or disability.
The purpose of DEI is to enable meritocracy. Instead, the fools want their undeserved privilege back.
Huh, I'm actually kinda surprised, this is John Deere the tractor company right?
Shareholders of, but yes.
Yup! It's a global company, unionized with UAW in the US, and generally the best (aside from their awful repair policies)
generally the best
I'd argue that's debatable these days... JD still has some of the better tractors but they're still in a pretty terrible state when it comes to any kind of harvesting or other implement, self propelled or otherwise. New Holland swathers, balers, combines, etc will run circles around any equivalent JD equipment.
Let me introduce you to the global marketplace.
They actually call themselves a tech company now. Their machines are guided by satellites and use computer vision to tell apart weeds and sprouts.
They also license you to use their technology. Not buy.
I suspect that the same majority of all shareholders of everything except "truth soscial" (I know, not publicly traded) feel the same. The value of diversity is proven and anyone who is against is obviously dumb.
I like how that percentage number is the same as the temperature of a normal human body. Seems appropriate.
That's interesting. The vast majority, about 83%, of their shareholders are large institutional shareholders like Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase. Would those be who voted in this?
Its not a hard thing to vote for, unless your racist. DEI programs have been proven to boost productivity in every sector that they were studied. Even if it weren't the right thing to do in general, it's the right thing to do for the bottom line.
Depends if they have voting shares or not. They probably do.
Just came here to say, “oh, Deere….”
