If only multiple people that were highly educated and successful at running corporations could have been aware…
If only these very smart, very well payed people, had some edge against turning into knee bending shills. Ohhh they did but sold out. Got it.
Are these sellouts so surprised when everyone ditches them?
Makes perfect business sense. I wouldn’t want a compromised law firm to be responsible for protecting my company. I’d worry they’d narc on me for some real or imagined DEI initiative at the first opportunity.
the question, however, is not about which firms are comprised. it is about “when” they will cave in
No it isn’t. Graduating law students literally have a shared spreadsheet that list out the companies who caved, and they’re being blacklisted.
That’s another big reason those companies are being dumped by corporations. They’re literally struggling to hire people and wont stay afloat unless things change.
Fuck McDonald’s. They let this shit stain into their establishment for a photo OP. I won’t go back. Fuck them.

All part of their “game”. In order to maintain/grow power they need to put up token resistance.
If they fall into complete lock-step with trump/project 2025 their potential power in the future is limited more than risking “standing up” for themselves over relatively minor things.
Companies pay money to law firms to fight for them. If their law firm rolls over and just accepts something blatantly illegal without putting up a fight, why on earth would any company continue to retain them? If the law firm won’t fight for itself, why would it fight for someone else?
It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a sensible business decision.
I know it’s hard to believe, but real people work at corporations, and some are even in positions of authority. Some of those people even have actual values and aren’t just playing an elaborate charade as part of some conspiratorial master plan.
But these are corporate actions meant to preserve the company and it’s legal defenses, they’re not doing it to preserve some individual suit’s moral principles or their love of democracy. Even if the companies themselves are Trump simps, they obviously don’t want their law firms to be as well.
If its is a publicly trading corporation then it doesn’t matter how principled the or nice the people who work in it are. Share price is the only thing that matters. That’s by design. Even someone as powerful as the CEO can’t challenge that. Any CEO who says “it will cost us money but we should this because it’s the right thing to do” is going to be kicked to the curb faster than a union organizer. Private companies can still have a conscious to some degree as long as it’s the owner’s conscious.
Some yeah
