Just as the universe is governed by Four Fundamental Forces, Gravity, Electromagnetism, Weak and Strong Nuclear forces - the powers of repulsion and attraction at distances vast and atomically miniscule - on social media, the most powerful attractive and repulsive forces being SEX, RACE (antisemitism), STATUS, and WEALTH(money/envy).
>deploy the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY...?As you puzzle over which vector of outrage/jealously to incite against the formidable NGO ACTIVISTS and their overwhelmingly relentless media onslaught, it suddenly occurs to you that there is one aspect where the principles of the US Department of Defense- wait, no, Department OF WAR have in common with CHINA - no DEI!
The terrible regime of DEI has been officially dismantled! By the order of The President no less: 'Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.'
NASA even fired its Chief Diversity Officer at the Jet Propulsion Lab back in May 2025, and even after she tried to disguise her DEI job role by changing it to a new innocuous employment role as "Head Of Employee Success"!
So there is NOWHERE for DEI to hide, not the US, not China, the US Department Of WAR is coming for you! FAFO!
There are, however, some mixed outcomes with this regime. As part of the legacy of Elon Musk's Department Of Government Efficiency restructurings and job cuts, NASA saw its budgets cut by 24% in 2025 (QM: this is why you began the game in the space industry with funding -24%) alongside potentially >4000 employee departures over 2025-26. You are not sure if all of these were DEI hires... Perhaps it is a recruiting opportunity, perhaps they might join rival, private space competitors, or perhaps it is longstanding scientific and engineering talent that is lost to the space industry forever. And these same budget cuts affected even huge defense prime contracts as well - LMT saw the defunding of its nuclear rocket DRACO after DARPA withdrew approval.
You wonder whether managing a country, or a space mission, as a "corporation" is the right approach... viewing citizens as "employees" who must be efficient and productive and revenue-generating... even during the Cold War, both the US and Soviet sides articulated a belief of exploring space for all humanity.
For All Mankind - and not just for profit.
