Yeah, sure, another move that might look good on paper but probably won’t change anything in the end. It’s easy to dismiss it as a stunt, but at least someone’s trying to make a stand, even if it’s not enough.

I get where you're coming from, but just dismissing it like that doesn't help. Sure, the change might take time, but any progress is worth something. It might not be a game-changer now, but it’s a step, and that’s more than nothing.
