Woke hegemony is dead.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Federal Communications Commission said Friday it was approving Verizon Communications's $20 billion deal to acquire fiber-optic internet providers Frontier Communications after the largest U.S. telecom company agreed to end its diversity, equity and inclusion program.
Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr said "by approving this deal, the FCC ensures that Americans will benefit from a series of good and common-sense wins. The transaction will unleash billions of dollars in new infrastructure builds in communities across the country."
Verizon said in a letter to Carr seen by Reuters the company was removing its "Diversity and Inclusion" website and removing references to DEI from employee training and making other changes to hiring, career development, supplier diversity and corporate sponsorship practices. Verizon said all of the same provisions will apply to Frontier.
"Of the people, by the people and for the people," BABY!
