  I got an even better question for you: Is that relevant here?

  Cause I don’t think it is at all, but to answer anyways I think DEI is a valuable tool to assist picking the best person for a job, independent of race - as there is a racist bias in many hiring positions. I don’t think its perfect, but honestly I don’t think anything in US is.

  And I think apple cares about DEI cause their marketing team said it makes money. Full stop.

  People love when their obsession might align with their morals, but its important to remember if 2028 goes Republican in US they probably won’t even do a logo change that pride month, cause all rainbow capitalism ever is is marketing.

    Yes, it’s relevant, because DEI inherently limits what the company does, and yet the shareholders voted to keep it.

    Nice job showing your ass here, because Apple never ‘changed the logo’ for the pride month. Where the fuck are they supposed to change it, on the Macbooks?

      Not killing customers is also technically a limitation on companies, doesn’t inheritly mean it stops them from maximising profit.

      Hell the reason companies don’t kill and do dei are the same reason, public perception (and also why there’s not a sneeze of either of those in poor countries)

      But also… genuinely you thought I meant they like physically tear the logo off the back of every customers laptop and replaced it, only for a month, every single year?

      Cause you know what fuck it, you’re right I do believe this 100% - you’re telling me Tim apple doesn’t visit you yearly??? man you gotta get your money back

        Thanks for your input, I didn’t even know that killing customers would increase companies’ revenue.
