    I can’t think of another time in history where we got a new president then all of a sudden all these companies come out and change their policies so quickly. It’s weird it’s over social issues too

      It’s almost like… They never cared in the first place. I don’t know why so many people are shocked. They only ever cared about money. The millisecond they were no longer at risk of losing capitol for not having a thing of course they were all gonna drop it.

      It’s all money. They change their policies to suit their shareholders. The shareholders could not care less that they are discriminating against minority groups.

      Fuck all of this. I hope every CEO gets what is coming to them-Painfully, broadcasted live.

      It is weird along with the whole tail end of the election and the confidence Trump and Musk displayed knowing they were going to retake control. I wonder if they have something secret in their back pocket that they’re using as leverage which we’ll all see at some later date.

      The nationwide poll (aka, the election) was a pretty good data point for current feelings on the topic. It’s not nearly as cool today to hire people based on their race.
