“Its been my experience that “diversity officers” in corporations don’t do much, except bloat corporate bureaucracies and issue reports full of woke slogans that no one reads.....”

IME.. partially correct.
Their role is to get rid of experienced productive workers. That tend to be the wrong color or worldview.

And replace these productive workers with underskilled, under productive workers that tend to look and have the same worldview as the DEI managers.

How can they not see that Americans are fed up with queers? It was enough to agree to let them be, but then that wasn’t enough (imagine that!) and then they demanded to get married, demanded special made-up pronouns, and now demand access to your children through a compliant network of woke school teachers and librarians. I wouldn’t be even a little surprised to see this go full circle. In fact, that might be a good thing.

They, the Left, as usual, overplayed their hand.............

Latondra Newton, meet Alissa Heinerscheid. When will we see stories about the disastrous failures of left wing women in corporate America? Maybe its time to patch up the glass ceiling and insist on competence rather than identity.

We have a mental picture of corporate boards and top executives as wise and competent people.

Most are.

But they are made of human clay, with the same weaknesses as regular folks.

“Strange World,” which featured Disney’s first out gay teen hero, lost Disney almost $200 million, receiving the lowest audience score in Dsiney’s history of animated films with a “B” rating.

The film had a $317.4 million budget but earned a measly $73.6 million at the box office, according to Deadline.

If the budget was over $300M, it lost closer to $500M, when you take advertising into account.

They should really not listen to these diversity hires.

I’ll be glad when this month is over with!

Movie stations are overloading TVs with too many queer inspired movies, tranny movies, pevert movies...
Movies about dancing kids with tranny neighbors, movies about the Meat packing industry and it’s effect on trannies(say what?)
Movies about homos that used to be shown after midnight are now shown in prime time.
Queers in movies, Actors and artists who were gay.

My TV is getting quite a rest this month from not playing all this trash.

It’s not just the gender fluid wokeness. The people in charge to the writing, screenplays, etc... the basic movie making, are incompetent. They don’t know the basic principles of movie making. They are all hired based on who they know not because of any demonstrated competence. Even if the movies weren’t woke they would still bomb.

This was the bitch that was famous for killing Splash Mountain. Coporate America like government makes up these jobs to employ many Latrondas or Shaniquas. Better in their minds then letting them smoke 3 packs of Kools a day and pumping out other little monkeys.

Shareholders need to sue Disney for destroying its brand.

The top three shareholders of Disney are The Vanguard Group – 7.4%; State Street Corporation (SSgA Funds Management) – 4.3%; and BlackRock Fund Advisors – 2.1%. State Farm owns 1.9%. The three largest individual shareholders are Disney executives. The top three shareholders are notorious for promoting leftist policies such as promoting sexual deviants, degrading white people, and the Green New Deal. State Farm's corporate impact report for 2022 indicates its commitment to similar values.

Looks like the Three Evils lost a boatload of money for their investors. Disney share value is down 50% in the last two years and the Disney brand is damaged.
Sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost for VG, SS and BR.

FYI, Fidelity's “Woke” voice message is so sickening it is nauseating.
