US tech giants take brave immigration stand that has nothing to do with profit whatsoever

"... the sad truth is that the largest and most powerful companies in the world have decided that it is not in their best interests to upset the notoriously petty and thin-skinned Donald Trump, even when his actions go against their and their employees' moral and ethical values.

But hit em where it hurts – the wallet – and Big Tech will do everything it can... to carve out special exceptions for itself. "

I don't get it. That means they ARE acting like people... :P

We have a capitalist economy

Right away, the GOP wants to roll back securities regulations imposed after the latest market crash, and roll back environmental regulations that save lives as well. It should come as no surprise that capitalists are going to act in their own best interest when Cheetobrains rocks the boat. And they'll get their way. Did you honestly believe we have a government "of, by and for the people?"

The recent imperial orders regarding immigration are perfect examples of how Cheetobrains operates. He throws out a diktat that surely will be squashed by the courts. Then he "negotiates" back to something almost as egregious, but which looks "reasonable" in comparison with the original thrust. Silicon Valley will get what it wants, and so will Cheetobrains. All he wants is to remain in the spotlight. If he has to keep playing Celebrity Asshole to do so, what does he care? Thinking is such a bore.
