I live in Louisville, KY and I see no change what-so-ever, just the same responses from companies trying to latch on to topical issues in a false attempt to make us think they actually give a crap about more than the bottom line, while our so-called "leaders" continue to promote token useless gestures that have no actual meaningful change or effort towards improving things at all while they hope to hell the mobs of protesters will shift their focus towards other issues or begin to starve to death from lack of jobs or catching COVID.What's more, in my particular city there are still ongoing protests, yet unlike other cities that have been heavily involved in the movement, there are no signs of anger actual change EVER occurring and to make matters worse the movement is largely abandoning us after the cities in more blue or swing states...yet again see change while the middle of the nation is effectively screwed. There's a reason why only one candidate in the Democratic primary was actually popular here and it ain't the guy we have left.</blockquote>
