At last we know why the corporate world has fallen in love with pretend woman Dylan Mulvaney. As I noted Thursday, he seems to be everywhere all at once, and it seems unlikely that corporate giants are suddenly so taken with Dylan’s charm and wit that they are spontaneously all at once falling over themselves to make him their pitchman. But now we know why there is this sudden imperative to make this man America’s sweetheart: corporations are being strong-armed into featuring him, or else.
The New York Post reported Friday that “executives at companies like Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade, whose brand endorsements have turned controversial trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney into today’s woke ‘It girl,’ aren’t just virtue signaling.” Instead, they’re paying the modern-day equivalent of Mafia protection money, trying to keep the heat off their business: they’re hiring Dylan and making other displays of wokeness “because they have to — or risk failing an all-important social credit score that could make or break their businesses.” If they don’t inflict woke advertising campaigns on us, they’re liable to do damage to their Corporate Equality Index (CEI) score, which could be disastrous for their business.
Watching corporations and tallying up their CEI score is the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which the Post describes as “the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world,” noting that it has gotten “millions” from George Soros’ far-Left Open Society Foundation. HRC gives corporations points for being gay-friendly and subtracts them for daring not to toe the woke line. It does this based on “rating criteria” that award up to 100 points for workplace features such as a “gender-neutral dress code” and “data collection forms” that feature “optional questions on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

“The CEI isn’t even close to all of the woke pressure on corporations today. The Post notes that it is actually “a lesser-known part of the burgeoning ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) “ethical investing” movement increasingly pushed by the country’s top three investment firms.”
So who’s pushing these top three investment firms.
We can assume the FBI, DOJ, and CIA goons and thugs are in on this too.
seems a theory they’ll lose their business if they don’t buy into the propaganda but FACT they’ll lose it if they do.
Well ... if that’s more important than sales ...
Go woke, go broke!
I had to Google who this Dylan Mulvaney person was. Seems like “her” claim to fame is posting TikTok videos that receive a lot of likes from Gen Zers. Hardly something to be invited to the White House over, at least by any reasonable president.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
Let us know who has the lowest scores so we can spend $$$ with those unwoke companies - zero would be perfect
If a company wants a Social Credit Score over customers, they are free to do so.
Right up to their bankruptcy.
If only the HRC’s bullying fell under RICO.
I caught 2-3 hours of the Masters today.
During the commercials I saw women, blacks, Hispanics, children. The only time I saw a white adult male was when they were dressed as a tranny.
AT&T and IBM, IIRC.
It’s time for free helicopter rides!

This is just a modernized version of how the Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson organizations made their money. The Just Us Brothers.
In December I ditched all my investments in Vanguard including my IRA and told them why I was doing it: Because Vanguard was pulling investments in oil and gas drilling and production companies because of ESG pressure. My investments are minuscule compared to institutional ones but I wanted to make a statement.
Maybe Soros is the Anti Christ or one of the false prophets? I wonder if he worships Satan?
Bud Light has committed about the biggest marketing blunder in history. Bud Light jokes have become rampant and synonymous with gayness and sissified men. Bud Light is becoming a punchline.
Why would missing this made up index be bad for business?
