The EEOC didn’t like Steed going public, so it told the company to shut up. Meathead Movers wouldn’t be allowed to share its ordeal or its side of the story with the public.

“The EEOC issued a gag order demanding that Aaron and his company cease all public communication—including social media posts—about the case, under threat of additional legal action,” according to the Goldwater Institute, which is now involved in the case. “In other words, the government is now trampling on the First Amendment rights of the company’s founder, simply because it doesn’t like that the company is sharing the truth about the government’s actions in this case.”

The Only People With a Complaint Are Federal Bureaucrats

Interestingly, the EEOC isn’t backing a lawsuit filed by aggrieved current or former employees—it’s still trawling for anybody with an axe to grind against Meathead Movers on the agency’s website,

There must not be enough real eeoc work, that they pursue something that has no victims.

Reduce their budget by a bunch, since they have all this money to burn and nothing legitimate to use it on.

The Goldwater Institute frequently takes the fight for liberty to court. Through our Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation, we litigate cases and file briefs to advance freedom and defend individual rights across the country, on issues ranging from free speech and property rights to school choice and equal protection under the law, and much more.

We opened the Scharf-Norton Center in 2007, making us the first state-based free-market think tank to deploy a team of lawyers to promote our vision in court. In the decade-plus since, the Institute’s litigation team has advocated for freedom before state supreme courts, federal courts of appeal, and even the U.S. Supreme Court. Here are some of the cases we are working on today:

So why did the federal government target this successful American business. The Institute sent public records requests to find out.

In March 2025, the Goldwater Institute filed a Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request demanding answers: Were any complaints filed against Meathead Movers? Has the EEOC taken similar actions against other companies? The agency refused to hand over that basic information, citing privacy concerns. But privacy is for individuals. Transparency is for the government. Instead of providing the transparency the law demands, federal bureaucrats are keeping the public in the dark.

The Goldwater Institute filed a lawsuit against the EEOC to compel compliance with the FOIA and to require production of the requested information.


When you shine the light on bureaucrats, they don’t like it.

A reminder to all of us to shine the light on things. Don’t say “no big deal” and let it pass. I have reported thefts knowing I wouldn’t get justice but I think it stopped a lot of future thefts. Word gets around.

This is a California based company. Most moves in California have been outward bound, with middle class people moving eastward. Hiring young, strong men is the most rational strategy. Older workers tend to get injured more frequently, driving up worker compensation costs, which are passed on to customers.

Understandably, the EEOC has to be low on President Trump's radar given the massive and treacherous nature of his enemies in the Federal bureaucracy, the Deep State, the Democratic Party, and the RINOs in his own party. The EEOC is going to bat against companies that have used DEI as a reason to discriminate against white heterosexual men and for Christians fired or demoted because of their faith. Under the current leadership, the agency is much better than it had been under Biden.

Hire the workers as “Models”.

You can discriminate any way you want.

Because 70 year old women can move couches and fridges just like the young men can.

This is one where Trump’s DOJ and EEOC should get involved. They should provide all the records and fire the ones guilty to send a message.

“anti-meathead jihad”

Like we have to sue to find out. The federal government is run by homosexual deviants, trannies, queers, and angry fat black women. They HATE all things healthy, male, and strong.

A small percentage of the population is motivated by a desire to harm others. We have all met such people who love the damage they can cause. A job like at EEOC is a plum position for such people. They can use their power to destroy while pretending that it is for the public good.

These rules exist in order to ensure that people with severe mental disabilities can be hired to top positions within the government bureaucracy.

The two best moving guys I ever had were two late-middle aged winos who came with the moving company. They smelled like metabolized alcohol but carried these straps and knew every trick in the book for using them to move stuff efficiently without dropping anything or damaging anything. They had everything out in about 2 hours less than I estimated.

Feds in this case are acting in accordance with directives from CaCaLand politicos.

This state has been racist (any “ist” you might think of) for decades. Pandering is SOProcedure.

If Fed behavior is in violation of a Fed law there is no excuse to not fire and jail the feds involved.
But, this Admin won’t do that.

Now go after professional sports. How dare they discriminate? Then go after the military. How dare they discriminate?


These bureaucrats need to go after this company because the same argument by the moving company can be used by police and fire departments.
