I guess this is the reason lot of corporates try to stay out of politics. Because once you set a precedence then people will use that as to push their own political agendas. I personally don't like the slippery slope argument since it's very lazy and justifies inaction in many cases. But at the same time when I see news like this, I just wonder how long it will take two different subgroups trying push their own conflicting agendas and how the company should react in such a case.

One side gets de-humanized and shown the door. I'll let you guess which side that is.

This is why I think good people prefer a-political companies. It is sad, that there are people who have commitments/families, and they are taken hostage by this.

If they don't want to be political, then they don't need to be political. That means:

- No lobbying.

- No campaign or PAC contributions.

- No bandwagoning onto political social causes for marketing-only purposes.

A lot of corporations fail hard at being apolitical, despite the image they try to project publicly.
