The Left is the schoolyard bully. Corporations simply want to make money. Fighting the schoolyard bully will only damage them, or so they believe. So, they go along with the schoolyard bully. The bully hates Christian conservatives, therefore the corporations hate Christian conservatives. It’s as simple as that. Having sat in board meetings of a multinational corporation, I can attest that is exactly their thinking.
I met and spent a few hours with a board member of the ITT corporation. She was gorgeous. Dressed like a fashion model, and, very vocally, held every standard liberal bias and view*. Her grasp of the actual business though, seemed lacking.
I think she was the result of the board saying, hey, we’re being dunned for lack of diversity, so they added her. By diversity, they don’t mean a conservative woman or a conservative black. They mean exactly what that woman was.
The long term impact of this takeover of corporations bodes ill for America.
* She expressed the view that she would give an ex-con a job over any other candidate because, “he deserves a break.” I asked, “What about the father of three who has never once transgressed the law and now needs a job? Doesn’t he deserve a break too?” She blushed red and her face turned nasty. I got kicked under the table by the VP of our division. During a break he whispered to me, “If you want to keep your job, don’t poke the bear.”
>>Corporations simply want to make money.
That’s a 20th century notion.
The Left will tell you that all media and all corporations are “conservative” because they are all “capitalist”
I’ve seen plenty of edicts and agendas in the corporate world that have zero zip nada to do with economic advacement.
“Rev” Al Sharpton used to shake down corporations with threats of protests. Write him a check and his arguments would stop (and the situations would remain unresolved).
Think Hillary Clinton once sat on the board at Walmart because she was an economics whiz?
Today the board and offices are filled with agenda activists.
All these corporate donations to and affirmation of the BLM movement are simply replacing those that used to go to Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/Push organization.
The R/P group used to go on an anual tour throughout corporate America starting with a kick-off on Wall Street shaking down companies for protection money. In 2020 the plague put the lid on JJ’s road show and BLM simply filled the void.
Uhh, not quite. Many corporations are now “led” by wokies — see Chick-fil-a. At their inception they endorsed American and Christian values. Then, the founders stepped aside and wokies stepped in. They promptly dropped all religious donations and enriched outfits like Covenant House — which used the money to put on kiddy outreach “grooming sessions” by transgenders and cross dressers. I wrote them, C-F-A, and they replied that this was the way they had chosen to go to “promote inclusion, diversity, and fairness.” My reply was that my family was no longer a customer.
As to Coke, the same applies. It is not pursuit of money, it is ideology. And, that is right at the top.
I only know of one company that told such TWOT’s to go pound sand: Red Bull — they fired them.
Just walk away. Starve the beast by taking your money elsewhere. And, it doesn’t hurt to drop them a message to that effect. And, by the way, Coke owns Sprite, too.
