Except for people making individual choices. I don't do business with companies that were founded by asshats. I will not use Uber even if they changed leadership. The shenanigans they pulled were inexcusable, and I will not whitewash them with my patronage. There are other companies for various similar reasons led me to make the same decision.

Unfortunately, there are many many more people that don't care and/or don't know about the decisions made by company leadership, so voting with my wallet makes no difference to the company. I just keep adding to my soapbox collection. Starry eyed world would have more people making similar decisions so that asshat companies do not succeed so that regulations would not be necessary. To bad that world doesn't exist
