We're kind of collapsing "politics" down a little far, right? There's "not taking a stand on the capital gains rate", and then there's "not taking a stand on whether Black people are actual people". I understand the former more than the latter. There's a line to be drawn somewhere, right? At some point on the line where you draw it, your company is IG Farben.

Politics isn’t binary. “Whether or not black people are actual people” isn’t really what’s on the table: How many black people rolled their eyes when companies released statements in support of Black Lives Matter but did nothing inside their companies to change the actual lives of black people.
Lots, but that doesn't have anything to do with my point.
