Re: This is how the City / County of LA actually works.. its run by batsh*t crazy people
The recycled paper thing is not unique to LA. It's a requirement for all public-sector entities in California. Is it dumb? Kinda, yeah, but LA didn't make it up, it was passed by the state legislature.
Not going to bother talking about your DEI fantasies. I've been involved with public sector hiring in the state and nothing requires hiring candidates of any particular race or gender, only that the process fairly consider them.
