Over the past decade or so, corporate America has incessantly barraged an annoyed citizenry with the preachiness, the condescension, and the weaponized guilt that form the basis of woke ideology. Spineless corporate boards, bending to the will of numerically insignificant but deafeningly shrill fanatics, have bent over backward to cleanse their products and their organizations of supposed bigotries which, upon examination, would be determined to be decidedly unbigoted by any rational being. As such:
-Uncle Ben's Rice removed its mascot and rebranded itself Ben's Original. Likewise, Aunt Jemima's Syrup removed its mascot and rebranded itself as Pearl Milling Company.
-The slave labor profiteer Nike chose to brand Colin Kaepernick, the world's wealthiest benchwarmer, as a victim of racism who "sacrificed everything". American Airlines, which requires every one of its fliers to show identification, bemoaned Georgia's voting ID laws for requiring exactly the same thing.
-Starbucks launched an initiative, "Race Together", (yanked a week later due to an entirely predictable cascade of negative publicity) directing its employees to "promote discussions on racial issues" with customers.
-The sports website Deadspin unilaterally decided that whites who watch basketball are racist. Over at ESPN, actual racists such as Stephen Smith and Rod Gilmore spew their hate with impunity.
-EBay banned Dr. Suess books from sale. Amazon pulls books from its digital shelves that question woke ideology.
-Coca-Cola, American Express, Pfizer, Bank of America, and other corporations force their employees to attend seminars and workshops where they are admonished to "be less white" and to focus on "the equality of outcome".
But is woke corporatism reaching a crossroads? The tale of two companies, Disney and Netflix, may provide some insight.
Disney CEO Bob Chapek, a sniveler if there ever was one, is a textbook example of to what depths corporate cravenness will descend

I was blessed with a fairly hairless body so I was able to stretch the razors probably to about 3 or 4 times longer than what most people would need.
This is why Woke Corporatism ISN’T Peaking.

Blackrock and all the other institutional investors are propping up those companies listed in the article. They’re as WOKE as WOKE can be.
Excellent oped.
Hopefully, we can add State Farm Ins. to the list of No More Woke B$!
They never start their own businesses. They infiltrate, whine and demand handouts and fake positions like diversity officers, they take over. They use the HR department as a gatekeeper to purge normal people and to only hire fellow communists.
Same way they have infiltrated and taken over churches, boy scouts, etc.
Feral contracts and things like the Davis-Bacon act burrow way down into corporations. I was with a small company that supplied jet fuel to 4 air force bases from our little refinery. That got us lassoed in to government contract compliance even in our drilling and construction company.
When enforced the infection of the worms and the rot from within is insidious and pervasive.
At the end of my 42 year career I was a consultant and would not ever have a conversation with any company employee and especially female without at least two witnesses I thought were favorable. Even then the conversation was sterile.
A year before I finally retired my cohort were almost all purged in a layoff of the old and expensive. I was mostly alone of adult associates. It was unfriendly and miserable territory. It made retiring from the work I loved much easier.
One bucket for money and one for crap. One was brim full and the other was full enough.
All of this is much worse in the military.
“Feral contracts and things like the Davis-Bacon act burrow way down into corporations. “
If someone in power, and it would have to be someone reporting directly to the president, wanted to cut the military budget without and degradation to the military, all you’d need is a good combing of the political dregs from the contracts. Unfortunately, the only way to get the various votes necessary to pass a budget requires all of those dregs.
Just take an axe to waste, fraud and abuse without process review. Have at it and flail away at the obvious. The DC area thrives on feral conslutting contracts. Big ones like Booz, Allen and Hamilton to name one. They are countless.
