I’m sorry but I can’t give up Frosted MiniWheats.

Seriously, you can’t avoid all of this, and pointless boycotts aren’t going to change a thing.

Some other strategery is needed.

Those fake departments and their fake staff are just tokens to keep lawsuits at bay; I don’t believe they have much control over hiring (though they keep tabs on it). If I hire staff, I’ll determine the best candidate - or my boss would; in either case, the decision will be based solely on which would do the work best (it is a small staff, without room for unproductive “fat”).

That is probably why we don’t have these positions/departments.

Yes, they certainly do.

What would keep 1 or 20 of these US-based multinational corps. with existing China manufacturing or exports from permanently changing their country of domicile to China in order to avoid future corp. taxes, and is this a corporatist/Chicom effort to take down our capitalist system? I believe corps. don’t have to pay corp. taxes if the profits remain outside the US. What is the threat to multiple suppy chains?

These companies have openly called for the destruction of YOUR family. Only foot washing scum would still patronize them.

Understand.

Wanted to go with T-Mobile but the ‘ceo’ caved to a little girl calling him out for ads on Carlson. Not sure now.

This whole fiasco is sad! Public education [indoctrination!] coming home to roost!!!

This entire issue has now morphed into WORD. For now, it’s an option under editorial options.

Soon, it will be mandatory. Then the very definitions will expand and the diversity & inclusion check will include genders and Lord knows what-all.

It’s already impossible to be published traditionally without checking all these boxes. Karens with too much time on their hands surf through indies with a large audience and good reviews looking for issues to nanny on, with no compunction about leaving negative reviews. I’m pretty sure Kindle Digital Publishing itself will soon demand diversity & inclusion.

You may hire as you wish, but at some point, your employees interact with clients and customers and at that nexus, D&I will become an issue.

I have no idea how to fight this and still communicate publicly for either business or creation. Doubt there is a way that won’t backfire.

It is neither token nor fake. It is relentless language control.

____________________________________________________

There’s all sorts of creative mayhem you can impose on corporations if you really want to get ugly. The funny thing is that most of them were thought up by their “friends” on the Left.

You can impose punitive “exit taxes” on those who shift their corporate HQs elsewhere. You can find ways to bring anti-trust lawsuits against the very biggest of the multinationals as well. You can further create an ambiguous regulatory and tax code that is impossible to comply with (even with the best tax lawyers). This leaves the government grey area to litigate companies as much as they want. And finally (instead of going after corporations broadly), you can target CEOs, corporate boards, and especially large share-holders by going after individuals. You know that adage....show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. The Left has used government to intimidate and harass for ages. They richly deserve to have the same tactics turned upon them.

These corporations used to fear the Radical Left and thus viewed Republicans as their security-blanket against the more obnoxious policies of anti-business Democrats. There was an alliance between morally conservative Republicans and country-club Republicans that proved a powerful coalition. But eventually corporations felt that they could get what they wanted by abandoning Constitutional and Moral conservatives. For awhile they have been proven correct in that assumption, but now is the time for things to change. You cannot have a sovereign U.S.A. (or any other sovereign nation) with ultra-powerful companies that put trans-national profits first. It’s way past time for them to be culled.

There is nothing forcing users to accept those edits in documents.

Anyone dealing with customers directly is really on the frontline of this because they are the targets of the Karens and thought police.

Thanks. I recently received an email from AirBNB about discrimination. I zapped back a note to them about how racist their email was and had them delete my account.

Reminds me of the old Jessie Jackson/Al Sharpton shakedown days of the NAACP.

Ya gotta hand it to them, they’re creative in raking in money.

I just do my best if I know of certain companies and their policies and there is an alternative. The republic will not fall because you bought a package of frosted mini wheats. That said I think I’ve seen store brand versions of them. :)

The questions i posited were in consideration of whether 1 or more multinationals are collaborating with the democratic party AND the CCP in order to permanently alter a portion or all of our capitalist system.
