With technology as it is, NASDAQ isn't needed. It's just a virtual market. The government of course let them buy all their competitors so they're an anti-trust violating duopoly. but a computer program can be created by someone else. Time for some competition.

Say what

Unconstitutional.

Lmao

Yeah so males and then males in dresses get jobs now and actual womxxn get fuched by male supremacy again

Satan knows who is easiest to deceive like he did in the garden.

Lol. This has to be some of the most 2020 nonsense yet.

Seems....what’s the word? Oh yeah, “racist”.

Lol

So, it's perfectly OK for a stock exchange to discriminate on the basis of race?

AffairsHuman How will the token person feel?

The pendulum always swings too far before reasonability returns ... so predictable.

What's the word for that? Oh ya racism

better to have stockholders grow a conscience

If such a policy were required, I wouldn't be delisted... I'd leave on my own. Who's on my board us none of their business.

Wow! It's like the end of civilization is coming and people just can't wait to get there

Is about time to blend every color of beings into the corporate jobs, so as to reduce systemic biases and racism of corporate ladders.

that's racist and sexism
