Equal price-gouging for all.
Just a little racism, as a treat
In employment, Verizon said it will commit to aligning its business in California with the state’s various requirements under its diversity, equity and inclusiveness (DEI) laws, though the company ended its employment-based DEI initiatives last year in order to secure approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its purchase of Frontier.
The DEI commitments Verizon will make are not expected to conflict with its promises to the FCC, which largely involved hiring and promotional practices.
So CA allows yet more dangerous corporate power consolidation in exchange for just following CA law - but not so much as to conflict with verizon's anti-DEI promises to the regime.
What a truly progressive victory worthy of gavin newsom.
Didn't frontier take Verizons fiber ops a decade or so ago?
