In my experience, senior management in corporate America is all about building fiefdoms in the pursuit of self-enrichment. It’s amazing how many people in the corporate world know almost nothing about their companies’ core lines of business.

The one thing CEOs and other top company execs pay the most attention to are the stock price, profit and growth numbers. They are obsessed with them. The owners of companies like CNN, MSNBC, the NYT, Target, AB, etc. SEE their numbers crashing and they know why. Some of the media companies have been operation at a loss for years. The owners care more about spreading leftist garbage than making money. They are so rich that spending a few 10s of millions of $/yr is worth it to them to promote their ideology. Why did Zuckerberg pay $400 million to rig an election? ESG is certainly a consideration for many companies but may not be the most important.

Regarding your point about "C" level execs, it is usually spot on. Larger companies usually recruit them from the outside and they come into the company at the highest level without necessarly understanding the core business.

A famous example of this was when Steve Sculley was brought in to run Apple back in 1983. At the time, Sculley was with PepsiCo and knew next to nothing about computers.

It hears Deep State.

And as long as Deep State can keeps shoveling them taxpayer money, corporations will listen.

” Why did Zuckerberg pay $400 million to rig an election? “

Probably because having people in office who owe their bread and butter to you is worth lots more to Zuk than the cash he used to get them there. He’s looking for legislation that cements his hold on what he has and increases his power. He wants regulation on new market entrants, but hands off on him and his.

Corporations are listening to the big investment houses like Blackrock and Vanguard that push the ESG crap. They are doing this to push up their ESG scores.

They have to groom; they are evolutionary dead ends.
Got to replenish the ranks somehow.

I’m just waiting for some “enlightened” liberal/prog woman to offer up her child to a pedo, because you know it’s coming, it’s the next illogical step to show your piety to the left’s new religion.

Corporations have always been caving in to the left on various issues. Affirmative action, gun control, homosexual agenda, climate change and green eco-extremism, etc.

There is no “Corporate America”. Corporations are global, they have no allegiance to any nation.

Bingo.
