Are they saying all that because blind people will be watching?
Yes, but I am offended that they didn’t sign it for the deaf as well.

Are there any big tech companies left who haven't submitted to wokeism?

I wonder what would happen if I said “I’m Jon, a homosapiens, and my gender and pronouns should be inferred from my appearance. Like happens to all of us 1000 times a day.”

Yeah that's what I figured, too.

That's right honey
Those Indians were there since time immemorial
That means they slaughtered everyone that was there before them, then they melted down their statues and destroyed their history texts so nobody would know that they slaughtered everyone
Clever indigenous people

Pretty darn accurate. That's my biggest beef about respecting indigenous people. Humans have been killing others and stealing land since the dawn of time. Only in this last sliver of humanity's time on this planet are we civilized enough to start feeling bad about it.
People are mad about Columbus? He didn't do anything different than the natives had been doing, except he had a puffy shirt and a couple boats with rhyming names.

Indeed. All those folks in Mexico complaining about how Texas was "stolen" from them should look backward about 10 generations and see who lived there before the Spanish speakers.

If you want to work for a big company, more and more it's a prerequisite that you have to fit in with this sort of stuff. Indeed that you have to think it's all good and not ridiculous at all. In fact there are millions and millions of indoctrinated mediocrities that think and feel exactly that, for whom fitting into these cultures is like a fish fitting into water. It helps to be younger, and it helps to be dumber. As for the actual work accomplished by these young blinkered people, don't count on anything of any value coming from any of them.

I had a great career, at least in part, because of that fact.

My wife heard part of an extremely long-winded corporate conference call Wednesday, that my daughter was participating in. Nobody on the call had less than a Master's degree. A high percentage held doctorates.
After about 20 minutes of this stuff, my wife said it was extremely obvious to anybody listening, who could actually think and problem solve. She said it was no more than one in three.

Your wife is generous.
