Get woke, go broke.
We've seen it again as wokester efforts in company after company cut into corporate bottom lines -- Gillette, Disney, the NBA -- they get woke and eventually go broke.
But for Goya Foods, its opposite is completely true, according to a new study -- Reject woke mob and all its wokester demands, and take it to the bank.
Here's the backstory, according to Legal Insurrection:
Back in July 2020, Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue came under fire from The Usual Suspects after he dared to praise then-President Donald Trump during a White House event announcing a “Hispanic Prosperity Initiative” that would, according to the Executive Order, “improve Hispanic Americans’ access to educational and economic opportunities.”
During his remarks, Unanue told the crowd of Hispanic business leaders and politicians, “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder.”
“And that’s what my grandfather did: He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper,” Unanue continued. “And so we have an incredible builder. And we pray — we pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”
For this, Unanue received notice from Democrat politicos and self-important liberal celebrities alike that they were on the march to cancel him and his company after nearly 85 years of service to the Hispanic community.But no matter how loud the calls to boycott got, Unanue remained undaunted, telling Fox News in an interview a few days after the calls started that he would not back down.
“Hell no. Hell no,” he told Laura Ingraham when pressed on if he would apologize for standing with Trump.

They have a Goya section in my local chain supermarket. I buy a little item every week even though I probably don’t need it.
Goya Salzonador Total is INCREDIBLE seasoning. I use it all the time including today.
Hispanics again.
NEVER listen to so-called celebs!!!!!
I've never heard of a liberal apologizing to anyone outside their little group.
Years ago I tried Malta Goya, because I saw a lot of Mexicans drinking it. Yuck.
However, their other products are just fine, and my wife now buys Goya products whenever it is an option.
I looked it up, it has monosodium glutamate in it. Some people have a sensitivity to it.
Having said that, I’m gonna pick some up and give it a try…🙂
Bob G made a great management decision.
Goya is out of my price range but after getting a good buy on their pink beans and finding out how good Goya is, I have accumulated a few hundred cans of their various beans bought on sale.
Goya is a good product.
When possible I only buy Goya.
Goya frozen chile relleno is pretty good. I suspect a lot of restaurants use this premade product.
I’ll have to try it.
I had never bought Goya foods previously because of cultural unfamiliarity, and not liking Mexican food (too spicy for me)—so I overgeneralized. But when that brouhaha happened and I heard that stand-up guy defending American opportunity for hard workers to succeed, I started looking carefully at the Goya shelves and have found many products I love—several varieties of canned or dried beans for soups and stews, canned artichoke hearts, Maria cookies, olive and coconut products, and lots of other foods. Now, I make it a point. Go, Goya!
I was similar and wasnt willing to even consider buying any of it that I would have been able to use because I thought it was just more of some contaminated dangerous type crap from Mexico. It really wasnt until this original story told me otherwise that I tried any of it.
I started buying Goya when the libs went crazy. Lots of people around here did. Both local Krogers expanded their Goya sections and still couldn’t keep product on the shelves.
Even though the economy makes it difficult to buy as much Goya as I would like I still buy what I can. The quality is definitely worth the price.
I buy the Mexican boxed rice and they make a GREAT boxed and canned seafood paella meal. It comes with bomba rice, a tin of seafood (like shelled mussels and clams), and spices. I add typically fresh seafood like shrimp or fresh caught white fish to it. It’s very good and easy and tastes authentic.
Try the pink beans and refried beans. Interesting Salsa as well.
Best way to avoid going broke avoid woke.
