The company I work for had a DEIB conference last week. They were asked if they were still moving forward. They said "We built this company on DEIB, of course we are sticking to our values." I couldn''t be more proud.
The blunt end of capitalism: cost savings. Fewer lines to justify on a P&L. They are just using presidential admin changes as cover. Without any sniff of a notion of any regulation, capitalism sees no ethical reasons for additonal cost in business. More profit is more important than people and inclusion.
