The Wrong Leadership

Incompetent leaders take the path they should not. In the case of my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee's municipally-owned electric utility, the service had only one hundred sixty linemen for two hundred thirty thousand customers; however, they devoted copious resources to diversity, equity, and inclusion. You might say these DEI programs are well-intentioned, but they cause real and substantial harm because with finite resources, you can't hire more workers to restore power or ideally, keep the electricity on when you are spending the limited money you are allocated on diversity trainers and officers, who do not know a positive wire from a negative one or a ground wire.
