    I believe this list includes companies that TRIED to roll back their DEI initiatives, but we’re thwarted by shareholders. I think that’s an important data point here.

      For companies of this scale, they are essentially machines. There’s no empathy, no real “thought” behind any of their actions, just taking the path to optimize profit.

      Virtue-signaling is the best you can expect from large companies.

        Some of them didn’t even virtue signal, they attempted to revoke DEI practices but since they’re public companies it went to vote among shareholders and lost.

    If your list of “good” companies includes JP Morgan and Coca fucking Cola then you aren’t “fighting for progress.” Jesus fucking Christ.

      It’s the classic trick of making the ruling class seem divided and inviting people to take sides in the ‘conflict’ within it.

      Fighting for progress means tearing down these companies.

      Obligatory Coca-Cola produces $3 Billion USD of Cocaine annually, used in things such as the manufacture of Opioids.

          An only slightly less jokey answer is that Opioids are legal prescription drugs in the USA as the manufacturers were able to convince legislators that the slow-release composition of the drug molecules were less addictive than regular opiates. Turns out they are addictive, and the Sachlers deserve every misfortune for ten generations. Several times, bills have been introduced to punish them for the transgressions, but so far they’ve only been made to pay billions in settlements.

    Trader Joe’s is a hard one because they are vehemently anti-union.
