      You are right, but also, I think it’s okay to take the small victories where they are. They shouldn’t have to be applauded for doing the bare minimum, but when this bare minimum is a big middle finger to the administration I’ll look the other way

          I agree, but in the right circumstances. Posting it here in the comment section is one thing, we’re discussing their actions. But some people (not you, necessarily) will take it a step further and go bully a company when they take a good step because the step wasn’t big/good enough. We gotta positively reinforce good behavior

          Imagine if tomorrow they decided to stop DEI for good

          I wonder if they could point towards their secession when handling that. Technically Disneyland and world aren’t part of America, but they’re not recognized as sovereign states by any country so they might have a hard time really putting that fight up

              Look into “Company towns” a bit. It could be done right, but putting that into the hands of the current oligarchs would be a spell for destruction

              But I like your sentiment. I actually am planning to start a non-profit apartment complex and I’m trying to get my employer to be a primary investor. I plan on offering them a temporary exclusivity deal if they’ll let me build close enough to where we work but I’ll have to look into the laws about that. Exclusivity deals are a lil weird around housing, might not actually be able to offer that

          My friend, have you not been paying attention? Trump doesn’t give a shit about any of that. He’s burning all the bridges to “eradicate woke”.
