Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

* Coca-Cola and PepsiCo were preparing to comply with Trump’s executive order that sought to ban DEI programs as both receive government contracts, Bloomberg reported; Coca-Cola’s changes will likely be disclosed in future Securities and Exchange Commission filings, according to the report, and PepsiCo’s latest filing removed references to its “diverse workforce” and DEI.

The Good:

Costco

Apple

Delta Airlines

Cisco

Deutsche Bank

NFL

Coca-Cola**

** Coca-Cola warned in an annual filing that abandoning DEI could hurt business, stating its diverse employee base “helps drive a culture of inclusion, innovation and growth,” and if the company’s employees don’t reflect the “broad range of consumers and markets we serve around the world, our business could be negatively affected.”

There is a lot more context and there are varying levels of shittyness, so it's worth reading if that matters to you. To me, it's all the same.

That was the biggest surprise to me. I'm guessing the fear of retribution drove the decision for some, but others found an opportunity to make the changes

So... All of them. Gotcha.

Yea... It looks like Coca-Cola hasn't officially done the deed yet, but it's assumed they have or will.

Tell your families who don't believe it. Spread it around.

So many of them turned over within a month...

They never DEI because they agreed with you all. They did it to gain your money and trust. New prez, new goals.

And when a dem becomes president, they'll switch back and say that they have replaced the people who got rid of DEI. And the cycle will continue.

It was never about agreeing with you. And it never will be. They don't want your admiration. They want your money.

I just don't understand why companies are doing anything. They are not the government. I mean Apple isn't doing anything but st the same time they have no government contracts so don't have to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Because they didn't do DEI because the agree with it or agree with liberals. They did it for show and hoped that liberals would think they are cool and progressive and give them their money thru buying their products.

Now they are trying to appeal to the conservatives in charge for the same reason. And when Dems are in charge, they'll change back and talk about how they let all the executives who removed the DEI are fired.

One of the reason I and many other conservatives were annoyed with them is because we knew it was fake and they are just pandering.

So democrats, please remember these names. So when they suddently become DEI once you are in power, you can remember they are faking it.
