Some of the complaints at issue here certainly predate that infamous "please leave your politics at home" post. So while my comment above was made somewhat flippantly, I'm pretty sure it isn't wrong. It's no surprise that Coinbase touts some other changes. But these are made under duress, facing the imminent PR crisis that being called out in the paper of record. As such, they tell you as much about their true convictions and future actions as a confession made under torture. As to additional info: I only have the knowledge that there is an article about to come out, and it will be weighty enough to invite an already incriminating attempt to preempt it.

> that infamous "please leave your politics at home" post. Why is that 'infamous'? It's entirely reasonable to want to avoid political discussion at a workplace, in favour of work. Especially considering a particular political group (BLM) seems to have been the cause of issues at Coinbase. > an already incriminating attempt to preempt it Wanting to have your own say in advance of a newspaper that is objectively creeping towards the left (http://evoweb.net/blog2/20190630-islamophobia-nyt-timelines.htm http://evoweb.net/blog2/20190630-islamophobia-nyt-timelines.... as mentioned elsewhere) writing an article criticizing your company is not evidence of guilt.

  the world is not standing still of course they are "creeping towards the left". how could it be otherwise? correlation that words like toxic masculinity are rising. well, they didn't exist before, did they? we had different problems then. we tackled them, now we're moving the the next ones.

    I'm not sure why you think there's no alternative to creep to the left. Ideas being new does not make them worthy of attention, especially when we definitely do have many more important issues.
