I hope everyone who is upset about "cancel culture" will find it similarly alarming that companies are too terrified of government retaliation to say anything critical about a policy that's seriously harming them. Seems maybe also bad?
1. We contacted the 100 largest American companies and asked a simple question:
Do you support the tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2?
These are tariffs that have already destroyed trillions of shareholder value
NOT ONE COMPANY WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION

strongly agreed with Cara. some of y'all talk like you have hidden a spare population of unproblematic, unpropagandized people to build a mass movement out of under your couch cushions or something.
