Completely meaningless statement though. What are they going to do next, call Big Tech CEOs to congress for hearings? :D
I'd say it's quite meaningful. These companies do not want meetings with lawmakers for leisure, they want meetings so they can push their interests. When they can't have meetings, then they will miss out on such opportunities - thus raising the price for their wokery.
It's not enough, I agree. But it is a good start.
And it's especially good that someone like Paul Ryan, who I'd expected to be "lick the corporate boot, bigot", proactively pushing for such things. It shows the sea-change in attitudes among the right.
They push their interest in exchange for the politician pushing their interest, which hopefully isn't just a bribe but the interests of their constituents. So even if it isn't just hot air, I don't see how not meeting with them solves anything. They should meet and make demands. Perhaps I'm taking it out of context.
That is also a way to do it. Both legitimate. I'm just happy that someone is doing something, rather than what has been happening up to now, which is nothing.
Then you don't know Ryan. He's as much of a uniparty shill as it's possible to be. He's trying to get in front of a wave he did his best to snuff out. His whole shtick here reeks of "hey there fellow kids."
I do know Ryan, which is why I am skeptical. But if even he knows that it's a wave, that is a good sign. It was just a few years ago that nearly all Republicans shilled for big corps non-stop.
