will def ask my employer on monday if they plan to comply with this nonsense. as a german-american company doing/planning business with the US administration i suppose they need to. let's see if integrity beats greed.

Watch Thales: it has quite a few contracts in the US (and many other countries) and it also has a (quite extensive) DEI program.

From the article:
"Meanwhile, defence electronics firm Thales and oil major TotalEnergies, both with operations in the U.S., did not receive it, according to spokespeople for the companies."

This could quickly become interesting. I suspect French firms will tell the US gov to take a hike and Trump will fold.

Wouldn’t hold my breath on French biz or politician’s courage 😬

Journalistic writing is not what it used to be. Given the context "Orange declined to comment" is totally ambiguous.

That's just the latest step. I remember some years back when french banks cowardly complied with US foreign policy in order to keep doing business in the US.
in reply to Aral Balkan

No worries, there's never been a real diversity policy in France :/
in reply to Aral Balkan

Same happened in Australia. All the Universities chose to stick with their diversity policies ( required by law anyway) and do without the American funding.

So proud! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

ok Donnie go fuck yourself. Every time you open your mouth you move the USA one step closer to having no friends, the only ones you will have left will be Russia a north Korea. Even China doesn't want you.

Stop spreading lies. That's just half the truth. The full truth is that the US has guidelines for companies doing business with the US gov. Not the policies are the problem. But the companies that do business with the US regime. Not too long ago we knew how to treat collaborators. Seems we have forgotten how to do that now.

@Pentropy > “Stop spreading lies.”

Why don’t you fuck off until you learn how to talk to people properly, asshole?

The Mump unit is not good at listening.

I once criticised EM's hateful attitude to other humans in a reply to him on Xitter, signing off with "I invite you to fuck off and die, creep. " and he didn't reply, or fuck off, or die.

Oh well...

in reply to Rupert Reynolds

Ironically, login details leaked (directly from Xitter, as far as I could tell), someone used them. to post a bunch of abbreviations and emojis (which weren't l33t or bear codes and made no sense to me) and I got banned for hate speech!

They refused to accept they leaked the creds, refused to delete all my content, and refused to let me back in to delete the account myself.

Oh well. Saved me the effort... :-)

@RupertReynolds i had several friemds banned for hate speech after they were accosted by racists and nazi's, one was even told The turkish should have finished the job, (shes Armenian)
