A step forward would be something like… we’ve restructered into a democratically run co-op, in a tri cameral structure, your costco membership now grants you a vote in something approximating the US House of Representatives, employees now all get votes in some higher authority body approximating the Senate, and then the board of directors acts as a multi person executive branch.
But this isn’t a small improvement.
The DEI policy was already in place.
When that got enacted was the improvement.
This is just not a step backward.

In 2024, “not a step backwards” = good news.
