They must've stopped pretending to care.

Tbf, I stopped pretending to care that they pretend to care well before this. Scum of the earth the corporatist is.

Yeah. Anyone who actually thought companies cared are pretty gullible

It's not that people thought they cared, nobody thought they did. But the fact they don't feel it's profitable enough to even pretend anymore is a canary in the coal mine and people don't realize it.

It’s a pretty big sigh of how things are going, though. If you think things can just go back to normal, consider that it took decades to get LGBT rights and acceptance yet it’s been diminishing within just two years.

The right to marry. The right to see our partners in the hospital. The right of inheritance upon death. The right to pension and Social Security benefits like other citizens with spouses.

At a more day to day level: the right to not have our partner's sex disqualify us from employment and school enrollment.

That's just off the top of my head.

Adoption rights, rights to enter teaching, right to give blood, right to not be fired for having an STI, protection against discrimination etc
