    * Coca-Cola and PepsiCo were preparing to comply with Trump’s executive order that sought to ban DEI programs as both receive government contracts, Bloomberg reported; Coca-Cola’s changes will likely be disclosed in future Securities and Exchange Commission filings, according to the report, and PepsiCo’s latest filing removed references to its “diverse workforce” and DEI.

    The Good:

    Costco

    Apple

    Delta Airlines

    Cisco

    Deutsche Bank

    NFL

    Coca-Cola**

    ** Coca-Cola warned in an annual filing that abandoning DEI could hurt business, stating its diverse employee base “helps drive a culture of inclusion, innovation and growth,” and if the company’s employees don’t reflect the “broad range of consumers and markets we serve around the world, our business could be negatively affected.”

    There is a lot more context and there are varying levels of shittyness, so it’s worth reading if that matters to you. To me, it’s all the same.

      They never DEI because they agreed with you all. They did it to gain your money and trust. New prez, new goals.

      And when a dem becomes president, they’ll switch back and say that they have replaced the people who got rid of DEI. And the cycle will continue.

      It was never about agreeing with you. And it never will be. They don’t want your admiration. They want your money.

        I just don’t understand why companies are doing anything. They are not the government. I mean Apple isn’t doing anything but st the same time they have no government contracts so don’t have to.

          Because they didn’t do DEI because the agree with it or agree with liberals. They did it for show and hoped that liberals would think they are cool and progressive and give them their money thru buying their products.

          Now they are trying to appeal to the conservatives in charge for the same reason. And when Dems are in charge, they’ll change back and talk about how they let all the executives who removed the DEI are fired.

          One of the reason I and many other conservatives were annoyed with them is because we knew it was fake and they are just pandering.

          So democrats, please remember these names. So when they suddently become DEI once you are in power, you can remember they are faking it.
