There is a wave of crap hitting the US and corporations are jumping on board. The cops are still holding the line for the most part. I can’t believe it after all the president has done to improve business. The disloyal corporate bastards are betting that Biden wins and the whole country will do the Pelosi knee bend. Yup — they are betting on Biden. The cops will go with Trump.
I think it started with entertainment (sports, Kaepernick's kneeling) and metastasized from there. The corporations are bowing to entertainment (sports, other live entertainment) and the advertising dollars they provide. It's filling a civic vacuum. Corporations / media / entertainment feed off of each other, and here you have the result.
Sadly, you're right, the corporations are profiting from a booming economy Trump helped introduce, but they're reacting to their viewership, which apparently lacks the ability to ask critical questions and just reacts emotionally, and makes spending decisions based on those emotions.
