Didn’t take companies long to stop pretending like they care. We are fucked.
“Anti-DEI” is the first step down the road back to “no coloreds.”
There’s always room for colored workers at the back of the bus or the front of the chain gang. Segregation has been a tool for dividing and conquering the working class, by shoving a minority of the population down and telling everyone else they’re next if they resist.
Very true, but what I’m saying it’s a chain where it goes from ‘diverse employees are bad’ to ‘white employees in front, black employees in the stockroom’ to ‘white customers get to use the front door, black customers go to the loading dock’ to ‘white customers only.’ And that is the end goal.
Tesla already had a place called the plantation where the minority workers were sent to work.
it’s a chain
There are more than a few spots in my home state of Texas that are functionally “Whites Only” already. Go in there as a poc and you won’t get served. You might not even be allowed through the front door. “Kung Fu Saloon” down in Houston (most diverse city in the country!) has had reputation for not letting brown people in for years.
The DEI shit is about inflaming the white nationalists who think even their little pockets of outright segregation aren’t enough. We’re approaching the idea that any place which isn’t “whites only” is somehow stealing something from a white person.
it never went away, it was just removed from sight.
But the people who segregated water fountains and chose where people should live based on their skin color? They’re still alive and kickin’ and making laws and business policies and decisions that impact us all. They have learned how to change their language but they have the same exact values that they did decades ago, or the same attitudes and values that their parents did. They have learned to hide in plain sight while also making sure that we remain divided and afraid and deeply obsessed with the superficial appearances of society.
America is funny, we tend to forget anything beyond about a 5-year window when events are still current, otherwise a lot of people here think that women and people of color have had rights here for like, a century or more. To the average liberal American, the idea that there are full-on, hateful nazis living next door to them seems radically unthinkable, and this is why they’re getting so comfortable taking off their hoods.
Fuck the right wing. They think they follow those agendas of hate for a good cause, but all they do is destroy the good in all of us.
All praise the golden fat calf.

I appreciate companies openly sharing their ‘values’ so i know where not to spend my $$.
I’m legitimately upset about this one. It’s one of the first “company does something bullshit” that’s actually been actionable for me… and the first that was something I’d done a lot of work to find the “best place” for.
I get compressed wood pellets (sold for horse bedding or pellet stove fuel) there to use as very cheap compostable cat litter, 40lbs is $6, and if you have a good system one bag will fill 4 cat boxes about 4-6 times, so really cost effective and environmentally friendly. It’s like feline pine but not ridiculous expensive.
Next best option is almost twice the price… which is still ok, but man it still hurts…
Do you have a rural king near you? Similar store but rural king also has free popcorn at the entrance!
Those pellets are the only reason I go there…
Well, those, and the chicks in the spring. I just wanna snuggle them all!
How did THEY fall for the outrage of people claiming they won’t buy any more tractors from TSco? Am pretty sure THEY know they don’t sell tractors and those teets are from liars… I guess the sniveling cowards know their base and pander, as usual.
It’s a publicly traded company. Investors hate risk, especially short term risk, no matter how unlikely. The board answers to investors. It’s a byproduct of “growth every quarter, above all else,” AKA late stage hypercapitalism
“We no longer support inclusivity and science.”
Marketing to racists is so american now
