>>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.
“That’s a 20th century notion.”
I understand your point. Like anything so large as the combined corporate boards, no one generalization can be true.
I did notice one trait that seems to be universal, at least in the relatively large sample I was exposed to. If the board member, officer or manager would receive financial gain by meeting an objective that objective would be met even if it became obvious that the objective would damage the company in some way. This proved true even if the gain was as little as $100. (That comes from an actual event I was involved in. Meeting the objective cost the company about $25,000 and disrupted several people’s lives.)
Another general tendency is for companies to avoid any conflict or interaction with the outside world that they can not control. This is why employees who speak out publicly, or become a news item in themselves, are generally fired. I believe that is the reason so many boards go along with liberalism, simply to avoid and public exposure they can’t control.
Conservatives do not create any controversy by advocating conservatism and threatening “cancellation” like the liberals so often do. Thus, conservatism automatically fails in the corporate environment.
In order to stop this trend to liberalize corporations, an enforced law going after cancel culture advocates or doxers would be required. That simply won’t happen.
Me, I vote with my wallet. I haven’t bought any Coke or Disney or Starbucks or Penny’s product in years. But the list keeps getting longer. Eventually, I will be down to wearing and eating grass.
