Everyone is so focused on making money that they're missing the foundations of that money-making collapsing underneath them. When the society no longer operates on rule-of-law, and people are impoverished, there is no market anymore.
What are your working for at that workplace? Honest question. How to spend your hard-earned money when there is no society and market? Do you want your children to live in a peaceful, prospering world or a burning one (maybe with slightly more dollars in their account)?
I don't get this sentiment. Everything is politics nowadays and choosing to "ban" it just means egocentrically accepting that we are heading for a worse future.
(And no, "politics" doesnt mean that the company will become an echo chamber and different opinions should be silenced - the opposite is the case. But BS needs to be called out as what it is...)
What 99% of people who want to "ban politics" from the workplace mean is that they want to ban progressive politics from the workplace, and more specifically any effect of progressive politics that would lead to negative consequences for their own politically incorrect behavior or views.
