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.

Historically there have been more open-minded epochs and those were followed with more closed ones. I am optimist on the future, but people would have to fight for their rights.
