I see in the news almost daily that as schools and corporations go out of their way to cater to diversity, inclusion and equity (die) that as those policies become implemented people start rebelling against those institutions. Capitalism at its core is all about competition. You can't run a company grounded in capitalism unless that company fosters an enviornment of competition.
Scholastic achievement is also rooted in the principle of competition. So is sports. In every endeavor worthy of preparation and participation that has the essence of competition at its core, those institutions and their leaders get noticed. The cream rises to the top.
Gordon Gecko said "greed was good." Not sure, but the competition that takes place in board rooms, the class rooms, and on the field of battle is what makes life worthy of the splendid pursuit.
Once we kill the reasons to compete, we kill competition. Once we kill the spirit of competition, we kill capitalism. Once we kill that, we kill the engine that runs our company......
Look at business today. No one wants to go to work. Too much free money from D.C. No sense in working if it's all handed to you. Have some personal pride, and compete. Go out and earn it.
