America has hit the MAGA tipping point

6. Why expect corporations to do anything other than adapt to financial circumstances? Why assume that they would be moral?

Corporations are amoral in labor practices, in adherence to regulations which are financially burdensome to follow, and all other aspects of their existence as creatures of finance and legal fiction. Why pretend that they have some sort of moral center that might be vested in their leadership? That they have DEI programs at all is just another aspect of their adaptation to the financial environment in which they have existed until now. That environment has now changed, so they will also change to optimize their financial circumstances and well-being.

Additionally, what this shows is the true nature of law firms in that they are corporations, not bastions of the rule of law.

As a result, one must consider the following question:

In a society that claims to be based on the principles that there is rule of law and that all people are equal under the law, why is it that law firms are not considered to be public utilities (e.g., water systems, sewage systems, power companies) and regulated in such a way to provide equal access to high quality legal advice to all people, not merely to the few who might afford it?

"We might have expected corporations to resist being told how to run their businesses, but dozens of them have eagerly complied with the crusade to ban DEI and abandon all attempts to fulfill the promise of the Civil Rights Act. Men at Wall St. firms tell reporters they are thrilled to be able to talk about "p**sy" in the workplace again. Law firms, meanwhile, having been told they will lose their access to the federal government, including necessary security clearances due to their previous willingness to defend some of Donald Trump's personal enemies, have bowed down and agreed to do whatever the president orders them to do. Universities, meanwhile, are now allowing the federal government to dictate their policies under threat of losing federal funding. This was unexpected. These giant, wealthy institutions all have the ability to stand up to Trump and choose not to."
