Glad to see leaders showing a spine and taking a stand against the institutional takeover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_march_through_the_institu...) we've seen elsewhere from activists, particularly at tech giants like Google or Facebook or Amazon. I often see vague claims that "everything" is political, but it is pretty easy to use one's common sense and separate out what is political and what isn't. Bringing politics to work makes it hostile towards large cohorts of employees and customers, and distracts from the mission, which is to provide utility to customers in a viewpoint- and politically-neutral manner. Other companies need to revert to that neutral way of operating again, and get rid of employees who spend more time on personal advocacy than doing their job.
