Biz goes to gov to manipulate the market in their favor in return for campaign funds and the gov to implement programs they can’t otherwise do legally.
You’re presuming free markets and a free country. You seem to be behind the times...
Businesses become woke through their D&I office and HR. The two are intertwined. I’m witnessing it personally.
Me too.
