these companies are ALL calling in favors with each other and it will either be the downfall of everything or the evidence that the game is over and the people lost.

There is zero excuse for all these independent organizations to all be taking the same actions in lock step unless they're doing favors for each other or the SEC has mandated it.

Sector collusion on par with CCP entanglement with Chinese business or straight up government intervention. Both answers make the state of our union clear.

It’s a lose-lose for them now, because if they continue to not serve their customers, NO ONE will buy into the stock system again. All they’ll have is their fellow rich people.

Nepotism is not the underlying problem. If you're hiring unqualified people, you're screwing yourself over. Same with affirmative action.

The issue is accountability and market pressure.

People are fine with buying Apple and Nike, even though they disagree with the terrible things those companies do.

social media and big tech all were in lock step. This has been planned since 2008 when google and facebook made 100's upon 100's of visits to the Whitehouse

This is the exact same thing with social media platforms and their coordinated bans. Nothing happens because we wait for the government to do something. They did not then, and they will not now.
