Exactly. Like me picking up one of those lazy susan turntables to go in my cabinet. Looks like the size of my dinner plate (which fits in the cabinet) and it’s made for a cabinet, so it must fit right?

Nope. Can’t close the cabinet door. So I need to take it back and get a smaller one. *sigh*

Conservative group launches ad campaign against ‘woke capitalism,’ targeting CEOs by name

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/18/conservative-group-launches-ad-campaign-targeting-nike-coca-cola-american-airlines-ceos.html

A conservative group is launching an advertising campaign Tuesday designed to push back against what it sees as “woke capitalism,” spending more than $1 million on ads targeting the CEOs of Coca-Cola, American Airlines and Nike.

The ads are sharply critical of the CEOs on a range of issues ranging from childhood obesity to allegations of forced labor in China. Organizers say the campaign, which is being mounted by the conservative group Consumers’ Research, is designed to change the thinking in corporate boards around the economic and political costs of getting involved in flashpoint issues such as voting rights.

“Increasingly we’re seeing companies taking their eye off the ball,” said William Hild, executive director Consumers’ Research. “Our focus is always on the consumer. And that’s what it should be for these companies as well, but increasingly we’re seeing them work to curry favor with woke politicians, rather than focusing on serving their consumers.”

The dark money group says it will not disclose who is financing the campaign, saying it respects donors’ privacy. Consumers’ Research says it will run the ads on CNBC, Fox Business and local stations in the cities where the companies are headquartered. There will also be an online component to the campaign.

Like how they call them a ‘dark money group’. Bet they wouldn’t call a liberal organization doing the same thing against conservatives ‘dark money’.

That sounds just like something I would do. I can’t pick paint either. I picked one to paint our front door in Bakersfield and it ended up looking purple. I hate it that my husband was right! Because now he gets to pick all the colors. When I say I think something will match all he has to say is remember the purple door.
