One thing Businesses like consistency - if GitHub goes after ICE, then why not IRS or FBI or any other private organization - every Org is one controversy away from to be deemed persona non grata.

Its not about ICE with GitHub, what they are doing is worth mulitple millions in future earnings. So good move CEO - the question is how much the WOKE nation is going to eat this PR CAKE.

Thanks for explaining why corporate responsibility and the notion of voting with your wallet in capitalism are bullshit.

Corporations care about being consistent with the status quo. Nothing more, nothing less. Now get these PR clowns out of my pride marches.
