OK, right: "Trump’s DEI ban throttles Africa’s gender investments" https://www.semafor.com/article/05/07/2025/trumps-dei-ban-throttles-africas-gender-investments
*But* "Women accounted for less than 5% of venture capital funding in Africa in the last decade."
*And* there's no money! (outside of AI, for the time being)

Oops "The end of zero interest"
5% * 0 = 0, with or without DEI

"By the raw numbers, tech hiring appears on a solid upward trajectory. TrueUp.io's job trend tracking shows tech job postings have risen from a 2023 low of 163,000, to approximately 230,000 today; roughly a 41% increase.
The 42% increase in openings is consistent with what we've observed internally in HelloInterview usage metrics and mock interview volume, when we adjust data for candidates with interviews scheduled.
We are still well below the feverish heights of 2020-2022, though. Back then, open roles peaked at close to 500,000. The current recovery, while significant, has only restored us to around 46% of that peak.
Unlike previous tech hiring cycles when a rising tide lifted all boats, today's market is characterized by extreme selectivity. Companies have become far more picky about where they invest headcount, with major differences in opportunity based on specialization, experience level, and the prestige of ex-employers."
