Happy 2025! We hope you enjoyed some peace and quiet during the recent break, and that you are energized about the new year. After a string of DEI defections, there is significant excitement about the news that Costco's Board has rejected a shareholder proposal challenging its DEI activities. Beyond the rebuttal itself, there is reason to hope that this could mark the beginning of challenges to the anti-DEI ideologues that are doing nothing more than fomenting polarization and wasting money. Let's hope that 2025 marks the year when the anti-DEI backlash is recognized for what it is: empty, malevolent rhetoric of no value. – Team Aleria |
