      Count me in. The more DMZs we have the better.

      If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

        More likely most people in the survey meant companies on the other side would be apolitical…

        Jolly, would you prefer for “Patriot Coffee” or Jeremy’s Razors to be apolitical?

        And what about those issues that could be seen as cultural issues and not political? Gillette’s toxic masculinity ad was not political. The same thing could be said for Harry’s “women can shave their nuts” ad…

        Disney’s new inclusivity especially regarding queer characters isn’t political, it’s cultural. I doubt 78% are complaining about that…

          Good question.

          I think the public does not distinguish between the political and the social, so I think the current Disney woke push would be considered political.

          As for companies like Black Rifle Coffee, the company started out as a political statement. Personally, I think that's bad business.

            The bottom line for me is that political opinions and activity should be considered personal and not be used to harm any citizen’s financial or social life. Anything else is mob tyranny.

                Everybody is not as AI programmed as you are.

                  Wait … is that discrimination against AI programmed individuals?
                  Is discrimination against AI programmed individuals political?
                  Is the public more or less likely to prefer businesses that manifest their opinions in the discrimination of AI programmed individuals?

                    new inclusivity

                    Yes, I wonder if the people surveyed don't consider inclusivity and equity to be political, about human/civil rights.
