At the risk of repeating, this is why we are seeing corporate “woke culutre” right now.
It has nothing to do with “wokeness” or finding their (nonexistent) souls, it is pure capitalism. They are not going to drive away 20% of the upcoming generation of customers to appease a vanishing minority of loud assholes. And before you say “20%? Isn’t that still a minority?” please consider that these folks have friends, family and allies who are not ashamed of them and will stand up for their interests. That is a force multiplier, and they know it.

I’m all for inclusiveness and I’m really glad to see it. I’ll never understand why people (my own family included) get so very hung up on it. It would be so very boring if everyone is the same.

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Anheuser-Busch said in a statement. “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
“We’re very sorry we upset the Nazis and would encourage you to go have a drink with them” is not the positive message they think it is.

Conservatives are welcome to introduce or support anti-trust laws at any point, if this starts getting them thinking about the political risks of corporate monopolies.

Plus, those 20% are generally younger and more likely to be available as customers for the long haul. My generation and older are ageing out of the marketplace.
