> Why would I want my DEI consulting to actually solve the underlying problem

This applies to any consulting. Normally you want to solve a problem, because there's another thousand of companies that need similar problem solved. You don't get many people coming into a company with an immediate "I'm going to try to not improve anything" plan.

> The left-extremists say "you need to give me a job in order to make your team more diverse".

This is seriously weird even as a misrepresentation. The extreme left is for changing diversity overall rather than just "give me a job". (If we actually go extreme left, it would be closer to "we've got enough resources for everyone to not need jobs to survive" anyway)

The overproduction issue is interesting, but it really didn't need the exaggerated caricatures as examples.
