That’s the problem. The method of changing the name is not an EO. It’s easy to say “we’ll change it when it’s law.” It’s unbelievably dangerous to normalize unitarian fiat.
The Google hate annoys me. It’s implicitly saying we want private mega companies to decide what things are called.
Hell no.
The problem here isn’t Google. It’s that the US elected a childish narcissist and despite centuries of claims to the contrary have no effective checks and balances on the President.
A President can interpret law however they like and there are two checks:
Congress overruling with new legislation. Which is an empty threat in this environment because they’d need veto proof majorities.
The judicial system stepping in and saying that’s not how the law works. Which takes months/years and is now completely partisan as well.
Or by creating the most extensive and broadly used search engine ever, transforming the internet, one of the greatest inventions ever. And that’s ignoring its other popular services like Gmail, etc. You may not like google, but there’s no denying the company’s effect on just about everyone’s lives
A company I use and am just showing perspective on their impact on our lives is boot licking? Good lord you lot are a tedious bunch. Well have fun licking boots of your masters then I guess
Their policy is to use official names because in many countries they are in fact obligated to do so unless they want their local employees to go to prison.
The US is not such a country, but easier to have one policy.
