Major Corporations — Including Oracle, McDonald’s, and Morgan Stanley — Are Dumping Law Firms That Caved to Trump
If only multiple people that were highly educated and successful at running corporations could have been aware...
If only these very smart, very well payed people, had some edge against turning into knee bending shills. Ohhh they did but sold out. Got it.
Are these sellouts so surprised when everyone ditches them?
Oracle is a surprising one. Larry Ellison is the Ur-right-wing techbro. I wish there was more about this.
Not that surprising, these sleazy characters don't trust each other as they're always looking for a way to betray each other for personal gain, so they assume others are too.
Also not a great idea to trust your legal stuff to companies that might just have it over to those other already characters, especially when you're likely doing illegal shit
Exactly, if I bring bullshit to a party, and the host tells everyone to eat it, I'm not going to associate with anyone who doesn't tell them to fuck off, even though I brought it to the table.
My thoughts exactly... isn't he the one supposed to make big bank from trumps AI project? Unless maybe he figured out that like most AI projects, it's all hot air and scams, and he discovered it would be set up in a way he'd be holding the bag and getting the blame.
Yeah, but would you want a law firm who caved to obvious bullshit that you might have been involved in creating to represent you?
You have to think of it has fiefdoms.
Just because they are currently liege of King Trump, doesn't mean that they don't want to have power themselves. If given a plain opening, they would become king themselves. They don't have loyalties, only compromise. Hence, they make sure to keep their own share of power close to have some form of resistance against the king.
Didn't oracle itself cave lol what is this timeline
Don’t worry, he has literally hundreds of other lawyers on payroll to choose from.
Makes perfect business sense. I wouldn't want a compromised law firm to be responsible for protecting my company. I'd worry they'd narc on me for some real or imagined DEI initiative at the first opportunity.
No it isn't. Graduating law students literally have a shared spreadsheet that list out the companies who caved, and they're being blacklisted.
That's another big reason those companies are being dumped by corporations. They're literally struggling to hire people and wont stay afloat unless things change.
Fuck McDonald's. They let this shit stain into their establishment for a photo OP. I won't go back. Fuck them.
All part of their "game". In order to maintain/grow power they need to put up token resistance.
If they fall into complete lock-step with trump/project 2025 their potential power in the future is limited more than risking "standing up" for themselves over relatively minor things.
Companies pay money to law firms to fight for them. If their law firm rolls over and just accepts something blatantly illegal without putting up a fight, why on earth would any company continue to retain them? If the law firm won't fight for itself, why would it fight for someone else?
It's not a conspiracy, it's a sensible business decision.
I know it's hard to believe, but real people work at corporations, and some are even in positions of authority. Some of those people even have actual values and aren't just playing an elaborate charade as part of some conspiratorial master plan.
But these are corporate actions meant to preserve the company and it's legal defenses, they're not doing it to preserve some individual suit's moral principles or their love of democracy. Even if the companies themselves are Trump simps, they obviously don't want their law firms to be as well.
If its is a publicly trading corporation then it doesn't matter how principled the or nice the people who work in it are. Share price is the only thing that matters. That's by design. Even someone as powerful as the CEO can't challenge that. Any CEO who says "it will cost us money but we should this because it's the right thing to do" is going to be kicked to the curb faster than a union organizer. Private companies can still have a conscious to some degree as long as it's the owner's conscious.
Some yeah
That's logical. If they won't fight for themselves, how can they be expected to fight for you?
And what will stop Trump from simply demanding confidential privileged information?
And Trump seems fully happy to bleed millions in taxpayer money on frivolous lawsuits to blackmail people into getting his way, so it's not a great situation if your legal team is a bunch of simps for Trump
