    Toyota is among a handful of companies Starbuck has targeted in recent months for their “woke” policies.

    It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise this was “starbuck” and not “starbucks”. I was so confused why Starbucks was now going on an anti-dei crusade.

    The best part about all of this DEI stuff?

    It’s pap!

    My partner is on the DEI board for where she works and it’s just… so nothing

    They just pat themselves on the back for hiring a couple of people who aren’t white and occasionally have get-togethers

    They have no direct influence on hiring and I’ve never once in three years if eavesdropping on their meetings hear anything about them denying straight white men jobs

    It’d be funny if it weren’t just another sign that the average chud is just that bloodthirsty

      this is what I’ve seen in the companies I’ve worked for

      they just make a really big deal about hiring anyone who isn’t a white man and pat themselves on the back. the less like a white man the more they pat and the more points they give themselves

    Capitalist support of LGBTQ and minority issues has always been conditional and cynical. capitalist-woke can turn into porky-happy the second that supporting minority rights appears unprofitable.

    Ahh, yes, giving in to the demands of terrorist. Excellent course of action that.

    “narrow our community activities to align with STEM education and workforce readiness,”

    Pretend I did my usual rant about how Tech firms, testing companies, christian fascists, and neoliberal austerity ghouls combined forces to gut the US public education system and turn it in to a factory floor for proletarianized tech workers.

    Toyota if you buy me a cool black coat, mirrored sunglasses, a Mac-10, and refer to me as “Samurai” I will (in minecraft) [Redacted} this guy for you.

    Toyota is among a handful of companies Starbuck has targeted in recent months for their “woke” policies. Harley-Davidson Inc., Lowe’s Cos. and Ford Motor Co. said they would curb their DEI efforts, including scaling back programs directed at LGBTQ groups. Ford and farm goods retailer Tractor Supply Co. are among companies that pulled out of the HRC rankings.

    Fucking fascists.

      Hamas: Sure we’ll give you back the hostages if you stop genociding us.

      TERRORISTS! SEE HOW UNREASONABLE THEY ARE!! porky-scared-flipped

      Chuds: You better not treat trans people as humans or else you’re going to lose my money on your product I was never going to buy in the first place.

      Damn I guess we got no choice, these guys drive a hard bargain. porky-happy

    If everyone is so desperate for your approval that you can bully multi-billion dollar corporations into not sticking up for groups no one is allowed to like…

    YOU ARE NOT OPPRESSED!

    EDIT: Made my rant more concise and glaze-free

      Jesus how are 4chan trolls so powerful they can regularly run circles around literal multi-billion dollar corporations just because they’re bored on a weekend?

      The same group of fascist groypers that convinced boomers there’s a powerful cabal of gay mobsters running Hollywood and big corporations when in reality the “mafia” is themselves. It’s always projection same-picture
