America Sends Message to CEOs: Drop the ‘Woke’ and Get Back to Business
Slay News ^ | February 10,2023 | Nick R. Hamilton

Americans want corporations to drop their “woke” agendas and get back to focusing on their business, a new survey has revealed.

Companies across the country are gearing up for an economic downturn by cutting costs and staff.

However, CEOs might want to heed the rising voice of consumers who want them to focus on business rather than politics.

According to a poll this week of more than 1,000 likely voters by the Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action (COSA), nearly 80 percent said that, given the choice, they are more likely to buy from a company that is politically neutral.

In a rare case of bipartisan consensus, both Democrats (76.9 percent) and Republicans (78.8 percent) felt this way in roughly equal measure.

Disney has become a cautionary tale for CEOs after becoming a left-wing political advocate in recent years.

The once-loved family brand has been introducing sexual content and a “not-at-all-secret-gay-agenda” into children’s programs.

It has also been promoting critical race theory (CRT) and demanding reparations through shows like “The Proud Family.”

The company started a battle it couldn’t win by fighting a parents’ rights law in Florida that bans sexual topics in public schools for kids in third grade or younger.

This has been off-putting for some Disney customers, and the company’s share price has been hammered by shortfalls in subscribers to the Disney+ Channel.

I would be happy to see Disney go bankrupt because the only thing that
Disney currently provides that has value is the theme parks which will survive any restructuring or buyout.

Disney Plus dropped 2.4 million subscribers. They have a serious woke problem.

It doesn’t matter what consumers want, every HR department is in lock-step agreement on things. You want to put up a fight from the inside? You’re fired, there’s plenty of H1Bs from India who will support trans rights for the money.

You just hit the nail on the head and don’t forget to notice that virtually all HR people and most especially the lead HR person, are white women.

I simply turn the sound off when that happens, so far the commercials are nothing of note

Disney could change course tomorrow, and I wouldn’t be interested in their drivel. They will attach later and more deviously.

CEOs get bonuses based on stock performance, stock performance is primarily determined by institutional investors and investment bankers, institutional investors and investment bankers value a stock by its EGS score over every other metric including earnings.

So in short CEOs don't care about the opinion of Main street or their customers.

Woke Capital can only be reined in by government intervention at this point, but the Republican Party has no interest in doing so. It’s inconceivable to them even though “free markets” have been weaponized against the American people.

“the only thing that Disney currently provides that has value is the theme parks”

Have you been to one recently? I don’t know how they are now, but back in the mid-’90s they were teeming with homos blatantly showing public displays of affection. We never went again. I have to believe that issue is worse now.

White women with Psychology degrees. Every one I’ve ever worked for (three) had Psych degrees — whacked-out lib freaks.
