Yeah like IBM and . . . Ford? Well, a bunch of German business certainly. And although IBM isn’t the 800 lb gorilla anymore they’ve had to address their role and it’s all to the good of making the company accountable, the public aware, and that’s a positive.

I think this represents the issue we're having in the discussion pretty well. You assume they're doing things out of good will. I think they're doing it because they're forced to. The outcome is the same for now, but if I'm right (which I'm very confident I am), as soon as it's profitable they'll do it again. What is there to lose for them?

I mean if they continue with the fash train they’ll be branded as such, and whether they do or even if they don’t, their market and resources are going to be negatively impacted by the incompetent chaos we’re in.

For the branding, what does it matter? They're all playing ball. For the most part you can't choose to avoid buying one of their products.

As for the incompetence, I agree. That's the only reason I think we've seen any push back from them. They invested in the Nazis because they were reliable. The Trump regime is anything but. Still, it's better for them to be in their favor when everything crashes than to be on their own. It's all going down no matter what. It doesn't matter if you fought them or supported them. You're on the same ship. You might as well get what you can out of it (in their opinion, because morality is not a factor).
