California Requires Women on Corp Boards by law.

"The best person should be hired for the job, regardless of their race or gender."

The last election demonstrated that no one believes that idea!

And I doubt that Fredo Trump and his siblings got their jobs because they are the best and brightest!

I agree. We obviously aren't getting the best and the brightest with the current system.

The other thing about people who say "it should just be about it being the best person." That's true, but I think the best people are fairly evely distributed across demographics. Yet board rooms are made up of most old white guys. So obviously we aren't getting the best people otherwise you would just naturally see more diversity.

Nobody can seriously believe that old white guys are just so fucking great they should be just most of board rooms. Or that they are soover represented in the congress. They are 250% higher portion of white men in congress than in the general population. Not 25% more, which might be excusable, but 250% more. If we were to take the 500 best, smartest people in the country for congress, I'd say it would probably be split 50/50 male female and pretty close on racial demographics to what the regular country is and be way more evenly divided by age as well. It sure as fuck wouldn't be 65% old white dudes. This law might force companies to hire better people, rather than just croneyism. Of course it's all hypothetical.
