Just thinking out loud here, are they not worried about class action lawsuits. Maybe they think the courts and jury trial is on their side, but if the 2028 election doesn't go towards the current admin's side, then won't there be massive lawsuits? It's not like IBM is a stranger to that either way.

What's the risk calculus here? If I were an apathetic CEO who just cares about the bottom-line, I would wait for the government to at least publicly pressure the company before bending the knee. That way, the company is insulated from lawsuits to a degree, "coercion" could be the defense.

It's almost like they're eager to promote racism now lol.
