98% of Costco shareholders voted against a proposal to end its DEI initiatives, “The fact that 98% of investors voted against the proposal shows that almost all investors are not buying what the anti-ESG and anti-DEI organizations are selling.” Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan did the same. There’s been lots of press about companies jumping to appease the Trump admin. It’s not everyone. Companies like Costco and JPMorgan will have access to more top talent.

@bretcarmichael TLDR; "Trump is wrong about everything"?

That's not sarcasm, it's what I believe. When policies are 'designed' by scum, to appeal to the worst people in society, this is what happens.

@woo His policy platform will make life worse for most people. Voters will figure it out when their lives experiences stop aligning with what they’re being told it is.

@bretcarmichael @woo I agree. any predictions on how long it will take for that reaction to coalesce? I feel like all institutions have failed us, and mass opinion/action is all we have left

@aethernaut @woo I don't have a specific prediction. He seems to be moving quickly and risks overplaying his hand though. Some are fine with cruelty as hyperbole, but when they see the reality, it could make them uncomfortable. I think massive deregulation will help the stock market, and it will help US tech companies operating in the EU. That benefit won't trickle down to middle and lower classes, but inflation will. The mid-terms could be ugly for him, if he's too successful.
