Take a moment to truly analyze which companies take immediate action on this, because this is a great indicator that they are far more dependent on government subsidies than on actual business.
These are the companies that will have guaranteed back channels for government to get your data, the public show is all a performance.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying the companies that support DEI are taking government subsidies, or that the company(or companies) that abandon DEI of their own will shortly after the American president targeted it are taking government subsidies? And which government are you referring to, America or Canada?
They are saying that companies that take action the fastest are the ones most scared of losing government funding, implying that since all businesses want is money, government subsidies are a greater part of their income than the actual business itself. They also say that this also implies that those companies will be the ones to fold first when government asks them for anything like user data.
Yes, but they're being very non-specific? Which companies? Spotify, Google and Apple, or the ones condemning the removal of DEI? It can be easily read either way.
Them implying that condemining the removal of DEI would cut subsidies is very backwards while the reverse makes sense, so given the context it's clear in my mind what they meant.
Or they are crazy idk.
Them implying Google or Shopify wouldn't give or sell information to the government, or try to get government subsidies, is also implausible. But if they state their intention, none of us have to guess.
