I mean come on, do we actually expect any billionaire CEO to not bend down and suck off Trump? It’s not like they actually believed in DEI to begin with, it just aligned with the current political climate that was beneficial to stock prices at the time.
Plenty of them are on his side, but plenty of others are also terrified of what will happen to them if they defy Trump. In a sense, I don’t blame them for that. But it’s not an excuse.
In a “broken clock is right twice a day but clock running backwards is right 4 times a time a day” kind of way, financial institutions seem to be mostly ignoring them. I don’t know if being just evil instead of evil and stupid is much of an improvement, but there’s that.
and so a clock running backwards a 2x speed is right 8 times a day and then if it runs backwards at infinite speed it’s right alwayds(this is not a comment on politics i’m just thinking abt clocks)
I officially stopped shopping at Target when they backed away from LGBTQ+ support.
Same. I used to shop there daily. It was my go-to grocery store.
Then they kept bowing down to conservative snowflakes.
After a while, I just stopped going.
Conservatism: professional victimhood.
I’m running out of places to shop. I hate this timeline.
Another spineless corporation. I wish I could say I was surprised.

Only one I’ve seen so far, but Costco’s board just overwhelmingly reinforced their support for DEI.
But they’re clearly the exception… No, I don’t expect anything more from these scumbags.

Feckless fucking cowards.
It’s just another excuse to do layoffs without spooking investors
Is there a list of these companies somewhere?
It’s shorter to list all the companies that aren’t preemptively complying with the fascist regime:
Edit several days later:
Delta Airlines
Cleveland Cavaliers NBA team

Nah you’re talking about politics.
The clock has been broken for the past 20 years or so (congressional deadlock).
Now it’s running backwards at 2x speed and gaining momentum.
no im thinking abt clocks
Now you’re thinking with portals.
Yeah, but they’re shitty in other ways, which is why their drivers are on strike right now.
