“Can’t anybody here play this game?”
Those were the words manager Casey Stengel addressed to the bumbling 1962 New York Mets.
But nowadays, it might just as reasonably be addressed to the people who run our biggest and most important institutions.
“Get woke, go broke” has been a catchphrase for several years.
Yet the people at the top of major corporations and government agencies keep, well, getting woke and going broke.
Which makes me wonder why.
Harvard, roiled by antisemitism scandals in which woke politics kept administrators from protecting Jewish students, has lost enough in donations that it’s shutting down a library and looking to borrow money to meet expenses.
(It won’t actually go broke with its gigantic endowment, but most of that money is tied up, and it relies on donors to cover year-to-year costs.)
Early-admissions applications took a hit after the fall’s scandals.
Disney, marked by subsidiary Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy’s “Put a chick in it, and make her gay” — as “South Park” famously formulated — is losing money hand over fist, as one beloved franchise after another is turned into politicized dreck that alienates fans.

How donors small and large can shake up woke higher education Sports Illustrated, which had a surefire moneymaker in its venerable swimsuit issue, went out of its way to alienate its once-loyal audience by featuring trans, obese and old models on the cover and is laying off its entire staff.

We are. There are (dark) principalities and powers in the heavenly realms.
I’ve been getting attacked from all angles especially the last 3 years.
The various retail debacles are amusing but unimportant in the scheme of things. The debasement of the educational institutions, from elementary school on up, is the lethal sabotage of the future.
Those look like Portland Oregon homeless camp rejects.
Hah.....good one.
At long last there is a way to get ones membership terminated without a lawsuit. So there is a silver cloud.
I guess, lot of businesses were scared into Woke by the leftists and aligned media protests and boycotts.
For a while, woke was good for business. The conservatives did not boycott (even Rush was generally against it), while the left was adamantly protesting and boycotting every little deviation from workerism.
But now, we woke and this strategy of appeasing the left is becoming doomed. But, many businesses have not yet got the message.
Keep boycotting!

You’re welcome.
There’s a very good reason, isn’t there, that Deep State and Big Ed made sure kids no longer receive a classical education...
