Yes, call Ripley again.
I agree about the hypocrisy and this is PR, not social justice.

MLK went to jail for standing up (or sitting in) for real injustices being inflicted on his people.
That was a serious sacrifice for social justice- and probably the last we've seen in this country.

PayPal gets millions in free PR for protesting against some meaningless nonsense, doesn't spend a dollar, and will probably wind up in Charlotte anyway.
