In other news it appears that big corporations are regressing to even more racial based non hiring, money grabbing, profit driven shits of the n'th degree than they ever were.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Insurance at heart actually is a kind of socialism, in that everyone contributes to a funding pool to help out those in need. The problems come when the gatekeepers to those funds look on the model as one for profiteering. It's one reason I've insured with NFU Mutual for the past 40 years, as that seems a less likely model to be exploited at the expense of policy holders.

The very same happens here after floods.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

They are to an extent always reflecting US society.

David Allen Green suggesting that the likes of Zuck, Musk & Bezos sucking up to Trump actually illustrates their weakness in many ways: the power of governments to regulate big tech (USB-C in EU, Twitter in Brazil) shows how reliant they are on governments allowing them to do what they want to do.
In that respect, it does seem rather bold of both Musk and Zuckerberg to be riling the EU at this juncture.

I guess it's somewhat interesting that DEI programs were often presented as something that just made good business sense, rather than being a fluff program for HR to feel good about themselves...

In my company they were presented as good business sense because the US market wanted proof that we had them.
I think it has become a self-perpetuating and well marketed sub-industry that has probably got a bit out of proportion. But then in the US, it will probably swing back too far the other way for the next few years, towards toxic out grouping.
