One of the biggest challenges facing American corporations today is figuring out how to performatively express support for the various social justice causes that educated young professionals tend to support in a performative fashion.

For media conglomerates such as Bloomberg, that means launching an "Equality" vertical and hosting virtual briefings to discuss how corporations can "inspire people to solve the world's problems." For others, it means hiring "diversity, equity, and inclusion officers" (DE&I, for the uninitiated) whose duties include attending Bloomberg Equality workshops and explaining why their jobs are so important.

Your Washington Free Beacon correspondent was among the "esteemed global audience" that tuned in to last week's Bloomberg Equality Briefing, titled "Corporate Mandate for Change" and sponsored by Cisco. To the extent we learned anything at all, it's that conversations about corporate diversity initiatives are comprised almost entirely of meaningless jargon that is terrifying nonetheless.

The first session, moderated by Bloomberg equality chief correspondent Karen Toulon, focused on how diversity officers have successfully implemented Orwellian incentives to "drive accountability."
