And I'd still make the same point I've done so many times before; sometimes maybe there are more important things than "business makes much money so I make much money".
I'm just disagreeing with that "To survive as a large entity during this administration you have to kiss the ring" is actually the reality. The reality as I see it is that individuals want to make money, lots of money, and authoritarianism is more favorable for that.
They'll still make lots of money if they fight against it. But they'll make less.
