Parent post is about capital not workers.

Companies are filled with workers, and plenty of them do care. But unless they work for a co-op employees are disposable, and ultimately they serve at the whims of capital.

When capital decides that equity doesn't sell, the workers striving to create more diverse workplaces will be discarded.

The only counter to this is government, but Americans just voted for a government that explicitly wants to increase disparities.

There is literally no counter to this in the private sector, save co-ops or non-profits that actually sell their principals as part of their brand (e.g. Patagonia).
