How to use placate in a sentence?

  1. Robert Besseling:

  2. Free Press Co-CEO Jessica Gonzalez:

    Instead of committing to a timeline to root out hate and disinformation on Facebook, the company's leaders delivered the same old talking points to try to placate us without meeting our demands, facebook approached our meeting today like it was nothing more than a PR exercise.

  3. Jose Payme:

  4. Josh Nye:

    We don't think this is the start of a full-on easing cycle; rather, these cuts are about providing a bit more accommodation to offset trade headwinds, fifty basis points of easing would fall short of what markets are currently pricing in over the next year, but should be enough to placate investors that are concerned monetary policy has become a bit too restrictive.

  5. Cade Courtley:

    And if somebody doesn't like it or hates you, you still have to press on and continue to have those beliefs and that conviction, and if we do that, the cancel culture will be canceled. It will just go away when people realize, 'Hey, they are not reacting to this anymore. They're pressing on with their opinions, their beliefs, their convictions and cancel culture will be gone.' But as long as people placate to a few of the fringe folks that just can't stand what you believe in, this will continue and grow. So we really need people to step up and be strong right now.
