Summary
The Trump administration has ordered French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with Trump’s executive order that 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.”
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.
They told him to fuck off, right?
Most likely another “look over here” move.

You think that things like ‘laws’ and ‘contracts’ mean anything here in the US anymore? How cute.
They have meaning in France. The US doesn’t have any say over that. If the US breaks those contracts then they can be sued in France and French judges can award them penalties.
Yeah, awarding penalties doesn’t mean anything if you can’t enforce it.
The French actually enforce their laws. The US has assets in France that can be seized to cover fines if need be.
It seems indeed, especially since they contacted companies with no presence in USA, and did not for other that have business there. Either random mediatic noise, either pure incompetence, either both.
Watch my left hand while I fuck you with my right fist
Welp, there go all our business deals with France.
Lol. The French will not suffer American idiots like Trump and his lackeys.
Where are people organizing? I’m older now and not as plugged in as I used to be.
They aren’t really. At least not in any great numbers.
And that’s part of the problem.
