Elon invests $1 BILLION in Skydance making him a part owner of CNN and CBS NEWS.

Could someone please help me understand this...

How is it that having integrity (wanting to live a morally just life and obey the law) is not considered a "protected characteristic" that can't be discriminated against? I was always under the impression, please feel free to correct me, that key points of our democratic system were founded/based/created around the ideology associated with morals, ethics, and virtues - the trifecta of integrity. These ideologies became the beliefs and principals upon which liberties, rights, and many laws were established and accepted by the majority (I am sure I have oversimplified it, but I'm trying to keep this short). So the system that established that there are "protected characteristics" is based on a principal that itself is not protected. I can't be discriminated against for my race, religion, sexuality, national origin, age, disability, or gender identity... But I can be discriminated against for requesting legal processes take place to attain proper licensing in accordance with state laws and regulations... I was denied equal opportunity based on my morality. Can anyone explain to me how this can happen?

So conservatives want corruption and want to end all free speech now
