ESG scores are useful for learning which companies to avoid investing in.

The woke will not understand why this happened. They still think that their ideology is what the majority of Americans believe.

I have no idea what they did that y’all consider “woke”. I guess there was a woman or black person in one of their ads, but this company has been on its way out since well before racists and sexists starting using “woke” to explain their bigotry.

Where did it say anything in that article about going woke and then broke?

Where are you getting that from?

Woke is not the reason. Woke was an attempt to stave this off. The reason BBB is going tits up is Amazon. It’s another box store casualty of one of the biggest woke corporations in the world.

So the company decided pissing off 1/2 the country by not selling a red blooded Americans highly sought after products due to his politics was going to buck that trend?

You are missing the whole story. The company was attacked by about 1/3 of the country. They demanded, among other things, that MyPillow be canceled. In order to avoid losing 1/3 of the country, they caved and risked losing a different 1/3 (you’re kidding yourself if you think it’s 1/2. Hell Republicans haven’t gotten half the votes in a nationwide election since 2004).

All of this happened against a backdrop of a disappearing business model.

Why do you think that is? Be honest with yourself. Don’t lie, like when you claim to be a conservative.

I don’t disagree with this statement. Both sides of political constituencies are addicted to Amazon Prime.

I hate “woke”. But I agree with him that y’all are deluding yourselves that folks are going broke for being woke. They should be if we would ever get organized. But too many of us just run our pie holes instead of taking action like I did when I…

1. Cancelled Gillette and bought Jeremy’s Razors
2. Cancelled AMEX
3. About to cancel Chase. I can’t right now because they have me by the balls.
4. Donated 10% of my payroll (in the election year. That would be 2.5% overall) to conservatives, including Trump, whom I dislike.

It’s because ever since Ronald Reagan galvanized the Right no one but Trump has been able to inspire us. And Trump pisses off women too much to get the majority.

Clearly there are lots of factors and every company is different. However, it is a trend. To deny that is delusional.

BBond Dipshit, You laughed when I said 1/3 of the country attacked BBB, but you’re fine with 1/2 the country is pissed at them.

And don’t try to classify me. I have been a conservative since I cast my first vote in 1980 for Reagan. I have subscribed to NR for 40 years. You are the one who is not a conservative. More than likely you’re a fascist or a Chinese bot.

The fallacy in this statement is that you’re assuming people who are registered as or vote for republicans in national elections are the only ones who would be upset or stopped shopping there over MyPillow products being pulled off BBB’s shelves.
