I think we have a strange system here that’s not quite capitalism and not quite socialism - in other words, it’s fascism. Private industry exists, but is utterly dependent upon the government, both because of the financial benefits it gets from government and because of the regulatory control that government exerts over its day to day business activities.

Naturally, this means that companies must hew 100% to whatever the government’s latest political objectives may be and must be “politically correct” at all times in order to avoid potentially unpleasant attention from the government. It’s quite possible that there are companies and individuals in them who do not agree with the policies or philosophy of this government, but you’re certainly never going to hear them saying it.
