US warns French companies they must comply with Trump's diversity ban

Where are people organizing? I’m older now and not as plugged in as I used to be.

I hope you are right. This timeline usually shows the companies caving, keeping a bit of a difference from directive, selling it as a we won't change to their people and actually giving ground to the bullies so they can claim they won as well on conservative media. The polarization of the population makes it so their media won't overlap enough to cause real conflict, just enough to say the other "side" of the conflict is nuts ignore them.

Summary
The Trump administration has ordered French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with Executive Order 14173, which bans diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Companies received letters from the U.S. embassy in Paris with a compliance questionnaire to be completed within five days.
French Finance Minister Eric Lombard plans to address this with U.S. counterparts, stating "This practice reflects the values of the new U.S. government. They are not the same as ours."
They told him to fuck off, right?

The French actually enforce their laws. The US has assets in France that can be seized to cover fines if need be.
I hope that’s true and I hope it happens. I’m concerned because I see examples like the administration successfully exerting pressure on other states to relax their law enforcement in cases like Romania’s prosecution of the Tate brothers.

Most likely another "look over here" move.
Not everything is a distraction and your country needs to stop dismissing everything as one

Like, how the fuck can you enforce that?
US Auditor: you have a DEI program?
CEO: non
US: what’s with all the woman, gays, and blacks?
CEO: they are jee most qualeefied
US: well…. Get more rich white men in here or we won’t be doing business.
CEO: zat sounds like affirmative action.
US: what?Please forgive me trying to phonetically type a French accent, but again, this is some seriously dumb shit.

France does NOT fuck around when it comes to staunchly holding their own employment laws under internationally owned companies. If you want to fire someone, for example, you have to follow the French criteria, and it’s a complex and drawn out process that makes American MBAs melt like they’ve opened the Ark of the Covenant.

Not really directed at you specifically, it’s just that it seems like the top response to Trump doing anything is that it’s just a distraction. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it is about it that really bugs me, but I think it just comes across as dismissive
