=== Coca-Cola's Diversity Demand (02:22) ===

[00:00:00]  Anyway, everybody, welcome to the show where I'm just reading.
[00:00:06]  Coca-Cola, one of the biggest companies, has notified its law firms that it will not do business with them unless they are properly diversified.
[00:00:21]  May I say that the aim of diversity over merit...
[00:00:30]  Is not only injurious to any given profession, that's obvious to anybody, but it's very un-American.
[00:00:38]  What it says to you is hard work doesn't pay, minority status pays.
[00:00:47]  And that's the message of Coca-Cola.
[00:00:50]  At this point, there are so many companies that are ruining the society that to boycott all of them would mean you would buy very few products.
[00:01:02]  So, it just came out, and I am very curious.
[00:01:06]  My first question was, what does it even mean?
[00:01:09]  What will they do?
[00:01:10]  They'll have to submit reports, is that correct, to Coca-Cola?
[00:01:14]  Coke sets diversity targets financial penalties for outside lawyers.
[00:01:20]  Coca-Cola said it will require diversity among law firms who bill it for work in the United States and reduce payments if they don't comply.
[00:01:31]  The beverage giant's general counsel, a recent hire from the top ranks of four, disclosed the changes in a letter to law firms the company uses.
[00:01:42]  Quite simply, we are no longer interested in discussing motivations, programs, or excuses for little to no progress.
[00:01:49]  It's the results that we are demanding and will measure going forward, Bradley Gayton wrote.
[00:01:56]  He told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he hopes other major companies make similar moves to change the trajectory of diversity in the field.
[00:02:06]  Okay.

=== Equity Over Equality (00:29) ===

[00:02:08]  Well, there you go.
[00:02:10]  By the way, you notice the new word?
[00:02:13]  It's very important.
[00:02:14]  There's a new switch.
[00:02:17]  Equality has been dropped like global warming has been dropped.
[00:02:23]  Now, those of you who pay very serious attention to my show know exactly what the new word is.
[00:02:28]  It's equity.
[00:02:31]  Equity is equality of result.
