Why would a theater want to lose money?
Why would Bud wanna lose money?
Why would Disney?
FNC?
Coca Cola?
Gillette?
Pro sports?
See where I’m going with this.
It’s not about the money.
Not to Deep State.
It could be individual employees causing problems. It’s not happening to every theater.
Because a public company's ESG score impacts their stock prices (and thus an exec's compensation) more than its actual profits.
Under Klaus Swab's "Stakeholder Capitalism" business model, board members are highly compensated to boost their company's ESG score to keep stock prices high via Leftist hedge funds and institutional investors until bankruptcy, and then move on to another company to repeat the process.
However these board members understand that their positions, lifestyles, and protection come at the cost of tithing to the WEF, DNC, etc.
“Why would a theater want to lose money?”
Maybe they asked Bud Light, Disney, Target, Netflix, or a hundred other declining companies for business advice.
The owners don't, but the "woke" liberal employees who don't care if a theater makes money will put their ideology ahead of the interests of the theater owners.
