Oh yeah I agree there.
And I admit the original comment that started mine in your conversation was too broad. There are enlightened business interests who understand that security and equity is good for business in the long term. I did undergraduate business administration studies, and they teach DEI. Not because it's the ethical thing to do, but because it is good for the bottom line in the long run. Especially in a diverse globalized economy.
But I also get their knee jerk reaction about the media. Billionaires operating on those primal instincts have captured a lot of it, and it is frustrating.
