“Apple likes money more than racism” alternate headline.

Good yes, but at this point they see what is happening to Target. It feels a little less "stand by your values" and a little more "self preservation" especially after this: https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/what-choice-do-they-have-us-ceos-bend-the-knee-to-trump-20241218-p5kzgc

The only reason that makes sense "Abandoning DEI will tarnished our image and bad for Business, we dont want to lose $". Not because they believe in DEI I guess.

If you're in business and you don't believe in DEI, you're an idiot.

DEI means getting different points of view, different experiences, different backgrounds. All of which are better for the bottom line.

Especially for a company that is a global one attempting to appeal to as many different demographics as possible to make money from everyone. Difficult to do without diverse input.

Yeah, but so is price gouging, layoffs, enshitification and shrinkflation.

It's impossible to imagine that those in business are not idiots that don't believe in DEI.
