One 30 second Super Bowl ad costs $5 million.

Companies like Coke, Budweiser, Honda, and Airbnb don't spend that kind of money just to "do the right thing." They are airing spots focused on diversity, inclusiveness, hope, and tolerance because those are the ideals that drive a VAST majority of this country's population.

We may have temporarily let down our guards and allowed the forces of darkness to have a brief resurgence, but ultimately we're on the right side of history. We just need to keep moving forward.

and they do business and sell products all over the world. It is not in their economic interests to have Trumpish immigration and travel restrictions.

We live it in the now. If we go back or trying to kick the can down the road to prevent it, we will only hurt ourselves. There is nothing wrong with globalist.
