My take: business interests do not in the main care about Pride or DEI. They care about PR.

Do you have a link to the Canadian polls? I'm looking on my own but I'm an analyst by both trade and inclination and I'd like to see that data.

We really need to avoid this thinking--again, one of Hayak's concern about this particular prize--that any of it comes down to "one person" or one set of research.

Ah, gotcha. We're talking at cross-purposes a bit I think.

Thank you for being civil through this; I genuinely appreciate that and it's nice to meet someone else who cares about these issues.

Car dealerships in North America revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider (apnews.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/23769946

Car dealerships in North America continue to wrestle with major disruptions that started last week with cyberattacks on a software company used widely in the auto retail sales sector.

CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.

For prospective car buyers, that may mean delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand, with no immediate end in sight.

On Monday, Group 1 Automotive Inc., a $4 billion automotive retailers, said that it continued to use “alternative processes” to sell cars to its customers.
