DHH makes a good case with respect to the culture turning against this phenomenon. The speed at which it occurred is surprising to me.
I don't think we're out of the woods yet, but I appreciate his call to action to those who have been waiting for the winds to shift.

- chitowneats 4y agoHe cites a poll showing that support for BLM has dropped to about 30%. That's a massive 20 point swing in 2 years. Of course the activists will continue their crusade. The question is: who is still listening?
