    "If these layoffs are allowed to go through, our caucuses will be decimated. The Latino Caucus will lose 38% of its members. The Black Caucus will lose 33% of members. The AAPI [Asian American and Pacific Islander] and MENASA [Middle East, North Africa and South Asia] caucuses will lose 34% of their combined membership," Brian Contreras, a tech and artificial intelligence reporter who was one of the impacted staffers, told Fox News Digital.......

    The paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, called the layoffs "painful," but insisted they were necessary to thrive going forward after significant losses over the last few years.

    the layoffs in and of themselves is bad news for those who now find themselves jobless. What I do find most troubling is a Democrat newspaper which professes to the wonders of D E I, did not walk the walk when the time came

    Isn't it more beneficial to have diversity within the organization rather than the most qualified?

    Sometimes these Democrat led places just plain old confuse me because they talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.
