Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.
Not uplifting. CEOs are literally there to be pushed out whenever things hit the fan - just so the company is seen to be doing something. Nothing will change. Profits will stay. The rich will keep getting richer. Move along, plebs.
But if we let this happen, what’s stopping an anime character winning the competition? Or a cat? Or robot? Where do we draw the line?!?
On second thoughts, a cat would be pretty awesome. They’ll at least dominate the catwalk part of the competition.
Bear in mind that “free speech” just means you can’t be arrested for what you say.
When someone’s talk is being boycotted or - in this case - refused entry to a region, their free speech rights aren’t being infringed.
That said, I (and the French, it seems) agree with your sentiment, this is totally an appalling move by Germany.
