That’s why free markets and property rights instead of “capitalism” should be used where needed.


On that we agree.

Maybe that’s because globalist capitalists are the ones who pushed your Communist Manifesto...

‘going woke’ is favoring one politically identified group over another.

this has the immediate effect of alienating all others.

in business, pissing off whole sections of your market is just boneheaded.

hence the ‘go broke’ conclusion

‘Go woke, go broke’ is no longer true.

Howard Stern, 20 million listeners at its peak to a reported 125,000.

He went from hero of the working man to demanding that everyone get Covid shots, whether they trusted them or not.

More utter nonsense!
Why even throw this hand grenade into our own FR foxhole?

Always a bad sign when somebody uses the word capitalism to describe businesses.

Shows that their thinking is mired in ideological animus.
