    TBH, I can’t blame them. It’s the same motivation that pushed these companies to embrace gays and trans people. They’re all paying customers. Line must go up sometimes means you advertise to and publicly embrace marginalized communities in search of larger market share. Sometimes it means you kiss the ring of the ensuing fascist ruler.

      I mean, I can blame them. Just because something is smart doesn’t mean it’s ethical or showing any integrity.

      I get “that’s the job” but that’s never been a valid excuse in history.

      You “can’t blame them”? It’s entirely possible to have a sustainable, successful organization without throwing all ethics and morality away. Unfortunately, there are probably more examples in small and mid-size businesses.
