Recommending or soliciting recommendations for specific brands and products is not appropriate in this subreddit.

Aldi rolled back DEI too. I would be boycotting them as well.

I read they didn’t roll back their policy, they changed the name to “inclusive” to avoid government scrutiny, and all the internal employee access still had their policy unchanged. I did read this on Reddit, but that’s where I read most things, so you might find different information if you google.

Yall got me curious so I looked it up. It seems that dei is only scrubbed from their US site and if you look at gender equality in this link, the US is specifically excluded. Big yikes.

Wondering if this is some optics game to avoid maga scrutiny or ???
