has announced it is shutting down because of a lack of funding.

Should've taken a page from the WNBA playbook and nagged men to prop up their little club. :marseysmug3:

Because organizations like this need funding and if corporate America's leaders now are worried about insulting "both sides" voters, Trump, billionaires, the GOP, etc then they'll act accordingly. Anti-DEI and misogyny are at high levels right now and these people want to please their corporate masters.

This is a great example of why we should never depend on donations from corporate interests but instead from individuals only. Once the corporate money dries up then its over.

> Y Combinator and Capital Factory have invested in Women Who Code.

this is essentially the most pro-capitalist groups imagineable and now that capitalism has turned to fascism, well, none of this is too surprising. Capitalism just took abortion from us too, and soon birth control, and marriage equality. These are the end times for hard fought rights. America's hard-right wing turn is affecting everything.

You hear that !chuds? Capitalism is the cause of women's woes in world.

If you did this, then it wouldn't have existed in the first place. Companies who encourage underrepresented group x to code and want coding to be mandatory in schools are all tech companies for a reason- they want a bigger pool of workers to choose from, same reason they support more and more work visas for the tech sector. More workers = more candidates to select out high quality ones and more labor competition to suppress wages.

For someone that supposedly hates capitalism, you'd think they'd understand the basics of it at least.

A very easy solution would have been the girls who learn to code and get high paying jobs would make enough to donate to the organization. But these orgs are just shell companies to get money from suckers. They never do shit and you can see that on their glassdoor reviews. lmao
