    It's really impressive how contemporary capitalism can quickly turn calls for justice and equity into meaningless cultural gestures. They are really good at deflection and distraction. Respect.https://twitter.com/guardiannews/status/1277638422740586496 …

        And technology/surveillance has only sped up the cycle. It is stunning.

        I'm curious about the actual mechanisms that lead to this. I doubt there are any evil masterminds coordinating this, but more like everyone wants to do something, but the actions available to most without taking big risks are simply limited to these gestures.

        Possibly their No1 driver, who is the competition’s only black driver and current defending Champion...

        @MercedesAMGF1 does have the sport's only black driver, @LewisHamilton who has been a strong advocate for #BLM so i would think he had a lot of input on this.

        Given how the British press has treated Lewis Hamilton I feel like this is a little different than the usual stuff but your mileage may vary

        Markets do a great job of allocating resources. Even if the resource is widespread societal outrage, it seems.
