This is small thinking. The money people generally have their fingers in all the pies. Switch from an AB beer to one of the other beer flavoured waters you yanks have, it's all the same to the money.

Yep, I've said it before...many of the same people who screech about "patriarchy" and "male privilege" are also the same ones rabidly advocating for men to be able to compete against women, and will rabidly vilify those not in favor of that. World class cognitive dissonance.

I hope so, but the fact it hasn't already happened is a bit discouraging imo. Also, in theory - InBev, for example, is on the S&P 500 I believe so...anyone well versed on the subject know how feasible a potential class action lawsuit on behalf of S and P 5oo investors would be? They could REALLY get rekt then (again, in theory at least...)

This is a great point!
If companies can be pushed in 1 direction, then they can also be pushed in the opposite direction.

Your ignorance is showing and BlackRock and Vanguard, in that order, are leaders in woke and hold the companies and governments that they fund, hostage and force them to implement DEI and ESG, or there will be no funding.

You should post in the big misc, where there intelligence level is lower.

Part of me WANTS to try to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he meant genuinely woke and they actually believe that shyt vs just pushing it for ulterior motives but...perhaps that's being way too generous.

Interesting, and I don't know if this was already pointed out in the thread.

I don't feel like reading through all of it, but. .......

there is a tranny index out there companies are trying their hardest to score high on.
On May 9, a month after the initial Mulvaney backlash, Anheuser-Busch lost its perfect Corporate Equality Index (CEI) score, which is overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT advocacy group.
So even though these corporations shareholders are getting destroyed, which I believe is a great thing, they still are going out of their way, against their consumer base, to keep it high.
n response to the loss of a perfect CEI score—and in spite of the customer backlash, Anheuser-Busch pledged last week to donate $200,000 to support “LGBTQ+ business owners of color.”

^^^ OPG, you 100% correct. These large and publicly traded companies are indeed going out of their way, against their consumer base, to keep it high.

This is another good reason for shareholders to revolt and sue the shiit out of them and the shareholders like BlackRock for not adhering to their fiduciary responsibility to the majority of shareholders. Ideology is not an investment, as opposed to what BlackRock is pushing.

I don't know the details of the case, but investors are suing (I believe it is still ongoing) Netflix over it losing all those subscribers due to woke crap. This is what lead to them firing lots of the blue haired brigade.

I would expect to see action after AGMs. Company officers can go to an AGM and plead ignorance/incompetence as opposed to misfeasance. They acted in good faith, they thought woke would make the company money etc

They can play that card, but they can only play it once. If they do woke crap, the shareprice tanks and they then do more woke crap, they are doing so in the knowledge that it will tank the shareprice. This then gets them sued.

This is why you are seeing some of them ditch this stuff like it is radioactive; they are trying to show that they are making "all reasonable efforts" to fulfil their fiduciary duty.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

Purchasing power has already been the key to success for consumers getting what they want. Don’t like what someone offers? Go buy from somewhere else. This has always existed.

We had this power during covid too. If people would unite, they can’t stop us.

I said this in the second post here. Just forget to include that gay index. It’s why these companies are doing it. They want that score to get funding. They aren’t making mistakes. It’s planned and they are doing in the face of their customer base.

This is all true. The effects of boycotts, shareholder values and bad press has had a direct effect already. It is too funny that the media is blaming MAGA Republicans and hate for the boycotts, as if they are the arbiters and judges of everything good and wholesome.

Didn’t read but the boycott isn’t hurting the executives. It’s hurting distributors and delivery drivers and other middle class Americans. Every day people in our neighborhoods that didn’t ask for that chit tier marketing trash.

It kind of sounds like that' almost exactly the decision was made by the marketing executive who made that call.
