Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey has outdone perhaps all of his peers in “woke” corporate America by delivering an unctuous and high-profile denunciation of Georgia’s new voter integrity law. It wasn’t enough simply to attack Georgia for its attempt to restore a modicum of election integrity — Quincy overtly lent Coke’s support to Democrats for an additional legislative power-grab.
We want to be crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed in the outcome of the Georgia voting legislation. Throughout Georgia’s legislative session we provided feedback to members of both legislative chambers and political parties, opposing measures in the bills that would diminish or deter access to voting.

Love Mexican coke with cane sugar
Revolver thinks the passed bills unfairly restrict voting by minorities? Screw ‘em.
Read an interesting article about companies that had gone “woke.” An in-depth example was Coke company. Coke and the other companies discussed, such as Disney, have been experiencing a steady decline in business for a long time. They each had a different reason for going woke, but in essence, the common point was they are steadily going broke. Coke has suffered under large capacity soda bans, a steady move away from unhealthy sugar based drinks, and the general trend that parents do not let their kids consume sodas. All these companies are trying to tell the modern generation, which them must see as uniformly “woke” that they are on the side of the woke community, so, pleasepleaseplease don’t hurt us with regulations, policies and cancel culture. See?! We’re on your side. Here’s our contribution to BLM. Here’s our public embrace of trans-whatever and idiotic social policy.
But in real life, take a look at Coke’s board. As WHITE as you can get and not a single trans-whatever in the batch. Though, I assume that will change, as you can never do enough to satisfy the woke.
Oh, and the huge mistake they are making is that they believe the woke culture is the dominant culture. It isn’t, by far. They’re just loud and obnoxious. I don’t think one company that has gone woke has profited a single cent by doing so. Quite the opposite, I’d think. The reason is they think Facebook and Twitter are the real people.
They don’t realize how easy it is for me to stop buying cases of Dasani and their other brands. I am doing that now.
DuckDuckGo search Coke brands and make sure not to buy any of them. My username is boycott. I am good at it.
It is so much cheaper buying store brands and you can find one that tastes better.
I am a reformed Coke addict. I only wish I had quit myself of it as early as I quit smoking cigarettes. At least I did quit before I developed diabetes, and kept busy enough that I never got obese. My teeth though is another matter.
So many of these companies are so stupid. Why would they turn off so many of their customers? I haven’t bought anything from Target can years. These companies should wise up and stay out of the social justice business. There are a lot of companies I refuse to do business with. And if Trump says we should boycott, I am 100% behind it.

Brands go woke because they’re going broke!

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around. Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.

—”I am a reformed Coke addict.”
Preach it!
I used to have a Coke with breakfast!
Or no breakfast, just a Coke.
No health problems, probably because I was also doing lots of LSD (Long Slow Distance) running.
Some years ago I had some very minor stomach issues, my physician pointed to carbonated beverages.
Today, I seldom crave a Coke.
Most store brand colas are versions of RC Cola

Sold my Coke stock.
Sold my Apple stock.
Invested the Gains (yea!) from both stock sales into companies that are actually doing an excellent job of just doing their jobs! No politics!
1. My beloved is FURIOUS that I sold my Apple (even at a gain).
2. I really, REALLY need to get my beloved husband off of Coke.
Still looking for something close to WINK to get him off Coke. (sigh)
I feel so much better! My yields will be higher, and I really enjoy owning stocks in companies that are smart enough to not lecture me.
FTA: McDonald’s flipped its arches upside down to celebrate International Women’s Day.
So they showed a pair of bosums with 1 hamburger patties in each arch... : )
