the corps company supports the lgbtq+ community just like anheuser-busch does, just like target does. stores, they're not backing off from these initiatives because they want younger people to work in their stores, they want younger people to purchase products from their stores. none of this makes sense, but i would say a dangerous thing that you should be concerned of, what these small groups are ultimately looking to do, they now want to sue these companies. they want to sue these companies if they have any sort of dei initiative at all. if there's an affinity group in that company, that's what they ultimately want to go for. it's that mindset of, like, no white man in america can get promoted because the only people who can get promoted our african american women. news flash, look at the amount of white men who are named mark, richard, or steve running companies, and there's a whole lot more of those three names then there are black women running anything in corporate america. so, all of this is based on nonsense. the dangerous nonsense that ceos and businesses, big and small, are
