If they can actually get an impeachment through it’d be one of the most significant moments in American political history.

Working out, eating healthier, regular bedtime/sleep, reading a good book and less screen time help. Dialing down alcohol, caffeine and weed. Watching a few intro to cognitive behavioral therapy videos helps too. You’re probably ruminating. Developing the correct language to name your cognitive distortions, and being able to understand that just because you feel an emotion doesn’t mean that’s how things really happened helps.

That being said it sounds like you’re going through some rough stuff. Hang in there.

Inefficient and poorly managed companies might. I think it's obvious that women are often more competent then their peers, and their workplace value is obvious to anyone in leadership positions.

Um no. No one should have to justify the spot in an organization based on their culture, race, sexual orientation or gender. I think your scenario illustrates how ridiculous caring intensely about cultural background is for hiring situations. Wouldn't diversity of hobbies, or college education backgrounds be just as valid? Business should be about business, not crafting the perfect society. If you're a good person and a good fit for the role then you're a good fit.

I believe diversity is a admiral goal for an organization. I just don't think DEI policies give enough benefits to the groups they want to protect to be worth the negative second order effects.
