Which is weird given IBM's WWII history.

Is it though? No one currently working at IBM was there in WWII. It's pretty meaningless to point fingers at a corporations history when it's so dated

That's like judging current Germany based on WWII. Different times, different people

Maybe this guy is old enough to remember it? Not likely. I drive an ID.4 and the other day some dude drove by me with the Nazi salute. Some people don’t understand context.

My grandfather told me he saw German tanks with a Ford logo on the western front.

He drove a Cadillac.

They don’t want to remind anyone of that
