Em, those 3 are doing just fine. And in the case of the latter two, they've never been more profitable.


Not from me and the people that made them.
I don’t care how profitable they are.

Yep

I like how they talk about inclusiveness but kick TS out of their group for no longer kissing the ring

WTH. Why are companies so focused on gays/DEI vs their products? I hope all of them sink. These people are not special and deserve no acknowledgements just bc of what they are.

They’re worried that Trump will make pride illegal

Remember like 10 years ago when "woke" was in its infancy and everyone laughed at the college kids who endorsed all this shite? All the boomers said they'd grow out of it once they got in the real world, but their employers were terrified to tell them no out of fear of being ruined on social media.

It's bully tactics. They pressure companies into praising them because they need affirmation. And they shout down companies who simply want to be neutral and left alone. For them, you either praise them or you're the enemy.

Not really. Sports leagues are booming, tech companies are fine. Most companies who engage in this stuff see no harm to their businesses.


Sports leagues are monopolies. Literally. It’s why they have CBAs to get around antitrust violations. Thus, with no competition customers have no choice but to consume your product if they want to watch professional football, baseball, basketball, etc.

Tech is ubiquitous. EVERYONE has to use it to some degree. So even if everyone is “woke” they still are going to have to use the product.

There is a lot more competition for livestock feed, hardware, outdoor equipment, etc. Just like there is for generic light larger beer. When you don’t sell a unique product it is very easy for your customers to abandon you if you unnecessarily give them a reason to do so

How often does it happen? Nobody would have done anything had this guy not brought it up.

Maybe their principles should come before their couch potato passive entertainment. But, they don't really care enough to make a small sacrifice.

I can never wrap my head around why companies go against their base clients for those initiatives to start with.

The far left was smart and played the long game, going back through decades of indoctrination. Social media is a pimple on the arse of our society.

That dude went from the President of Macy's to CEO and President of Tractor Supply? No wonder he thought it would be a good move to dive head first into the wokeness. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in the closet


Kids. He probably has tranny kid so instead of admitting it’s a mental illness, he becomes one of the woke mob.

This is all leftist special interest groups. Imagine your worldview being so shitty and destructive that you have to silence and bully people into capitulating. At the end of the day this is all of our fault for sitting back in the AC and bitching about it but not actually doing anything. At some point we have to be willing to actually stand up and fight for what we believe in. They’re certainly willing to do it

Companies also do it to get certain companies to give them loans with better terms.

It’s how Blackrock, Vanguard, etc exert their control of this stuff.

Larry Fink of Blackrock literally admitted to it. Saying behavior of society needed to be forcibly changed using Blackrock.
