Opinion | This Is the Actual Danger Posed by D.E.I.
  + stars: | 2024-01-14 | by ( David French | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
There are few national conversations more frustrating than the fight over D.E.I. has become yet another catchall boogeyman, a stand-in not just for actual policies or practices designed to increase diversity, but also a scapegoat for unrelated crises. The idea, if it can be called that, was that efforts to diversify airline work forces had contributed to the accident. In fact, the airline industry is much safer than it was when it was a virtually all-white enterprise decades ago. But that’s not the entire story when it comes to controversy over D.E.I.

SpaceX aimed for a second test flight of its mega rocket Starship on Saturday, counting down to a morning liftoff from South Texas. The first test flight in April ended in an explosion shortly after liftoff. The goal is to send the rocketship around the world before ditching it in the ocean near Hawaii. SpaceX spent the past several months making improvements to both the rocket and launch pad, located at the southern tip of Texas near the Mexico border. The nearly 400-foot (121-meter) Starship is the world’s biggest and most powerful rocket.

When X Corp. Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino gathered advertisers in September at the company’s New York office, hoping to woo them back to the social-media platform, she invited a National Football League executive as a headline speaker. Having heard plenty about the risks of the platform formerly known as Twitter, from hate speech to misinformation, Yaccarino and her team have been pitching advertisers on TV-style content such as NFL game highlights—safe zones within X that can give jittery marketers a place to spend their money.
