The thing I ponder the most when I read stories like this:
1. Just how qualified are the people that reach executive levels of corporations and who have the ability to make these decisions?
2. After you get past the “qualified/unqualified” part, just how corrupt and/or evil are they to knowingly put people’s live in danger by advancing this bullsh*t?
3. Where is the Board of Directors? Are they so indifferent, incompetent, evil, and uncaring to allow such things to happen?
4. Just how corrupted are all of them by blackmail, bribes, the DEI/Blackrock mafia?
Sadly, there is only one entity that might be able to do something about it. They don’t care. They fly on US Air Force Gulfstreams, etc, the USAF calls them Senate Jets, and don’t have to worry about such trivial things. They just have to worry about their stock portfolios.

Add “cowardly” to that list. It’s the same with school boards, steering committees, etc. Most people present know a bad idea when they see one.
But they are all afraid to speak up. No one wants to be called a racist, a homophobe, anti-immigrant, or whatever. And so they all stay silent, and the bad idea becomes policy.
“Just how qualified are the people that reach executive levels of corporations and who have the ability to make these decisions?”
I’ve worked for some major corporations. Sometimes people are hired for important positions because they are no danger to the person above them. They aren’t competent and they only have the job because they are loyal. Then the person above them dies or moves on. Guess who gets the top job then. Those only hire incompetent people because now they feel threatened.
Then there are companies like Ford and General Dynamics, who hire and promote family even if that person has no interest, or talent, or intelligence, or experience. The competent people under them tend to move on when this happens.
Then there are goals and objectives the achievement of which cause chaos. A famous example was Kentucky Fried Chicken. They rewarded for the least amount of chicken thrown out. If it’s under the lamp for X minutes, it must be thrown out. AS the stores achieved a perfect score, they went out of business. That’s because they’d wait for someone to come in and order before cooking the chicken. Nobody wants to wait thirty minutes for “fast” food.
On top of the corruption factor, keep in mind the Snafu Principle (as noted in that timeless ode to human failure - the Illuminatus! trilogy): the higher you are in an organization, the less you know about what's really going on.
