Zimmer Biomet Hypocrisy

Editor, Times-Union:

The level of hypocrisy in the letter from Zimmer Biomet about critical race theory (CRT) to the Kosciusko County Commissioners is galling.

First, CRT is identity-based Marxism. Yet Zimmer Biomet has benefitted from capitalism and the free enterprise system for decades. If Marxism, which eliminates private property, is such a great system, is the CEO of Zimmer-Biomet willing to give up all of his patents? I imagine not.

Zimmer Biomet is concerned about recruiting new employees. That is fair enough. But this means they are asking the commissioners to act upon the unknown opinions of people who might come here as opposed to the known opinions of people who are here in Kosciusko County. The letter talks about investors, shareholders, etc. They are wagging their fingers at people with a median income of $47,697.

The American people are tired of being scolded by elitist wealthy CEOs and celebrities. The average American doesn't have hatred toward any group. They just want to work productively and enjoy time with family and friends. The Zimmer Biomet letter talks about the importance of a "welcoming environment" in Kosciusko County. CRT teaches that all white people are racist. That is NOT a welcoming message. And by the way, what exactly is "white"?

Given that we have an increasingly tyrannical federal government, we citizens will need to rely on local government to protect our liberties. I congratulate the Kosciusko County Commissioners for the work they have done and for their response to Zimmer-Biomet.
