I will give you one specific example of how the real world has circumvented stupid .gov rules for decades—with zero mass media coverage.

Many government contracts require a percentage of minority contractors for highly technical contracts.

In the real world there are very few such contractors that can actually get the work done.

There is a whole cottage industry of smart individual minorities working with skilled contractors to create “front organizations” that “officially” get the contract and then subcontract all the work out to the “real” contractor that does the work.

This is so routine that everybody expects it.

The result is that there are a handful of very wealthy black “fixers”—while the vast majority of blacks see none of this work.

While I find your observation encouraging I have found the 3 large corporations that I worked for to be the exact opposite experience where PC and leftist politics were the norm.

I worked for Target Corp in the 90s and found myself in the awkward position of boycotting my own employer when they banned the Salvation Army bell ringers at Christmas because the the Sally didn't hire homos. Their leftist policies only went downhill from there and their reaction was always to double down even tho it affected their bottom line.

My last employer was a very large corp. One of the very higher ups spoke at my company after we were acquired. The irish sob said "As I look ar-r-round the r-r-room I see way too many middle aged white guys."

The room collectively was furious. Disgusting. What a crappy environment to work at from the top on down. I'm so glad we parted ways.

Based on my 15 years or so of bad experience I have little hope for what is to come.

Cheers!
