You could say that it was easier to practice before the executive (that routinely hires the dumbest troglodytes - whose only qualification is loyalty to the fuhrer - into positions of power) started a witchhunt against anyone practicing it.
Since the only god our corporatations worship goes by power and money, they all started tripping over themselves to kiss the ring.
I should be the last one to defend the existing system.
But IMHO DEI answers the wrong question.
Worthwhile lives does not come from equal access to the hamster wheel.
I am much more pro UBI structures og negative taxation - which are inherently difficult to make descriminatory as there is no personal judgement of the people to receive it.
You probably don't actually want corporations that do intrinsically care about being able to violate federal civil rights and anti-discrimination law, and are willing to lose money and give up influence in order to keep doing so.
My friend, as soon as the felon-in-chief started flexing his muscles, half of them suddenly announced that they wouldn't even support a fucking pride parade. Engagement between '24 and '25 dropped like a meteor.
(Showing up to one, or writing a check to one, is as far as I or anyone else on this planet is aware, is not in violation of any law, as much as MAGA would like it to be.)
There's no need to whitewash or come up with excuses for their cowardice.
