Woke corporate America is finally getting some push-back. It’s about time.

(Snip)

Maybe this will remind corporate America that their responsibility is to shareholders, not to social activists. And that throwing your corporate heft into divisive issues can be costly.  

 

Disney is not alone. 

For over two decades, Gallup has asked Americans their feelings about Big Business. In 2002, 50 percent of the nation said they were “satisfied” with the “size and influence of major corporations”; last year, only 26 percent were satisfied with Big  Business’ role in our country.  

Worse, for the first time since at least 2010, a majority of Americans have a negative view of Big Business, even as 84 percent hold a positive view of free enterprise and 97 percent applaud small business. In other words, it is not capitalism or business per se that people are objecting to; it is corporate America’s behavior.

1965.....2022?

 

"Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

 

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone

 

Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal"

This week, we’re talking about Critical Race Theory — one of the most dangerous, subversive, and sinister ideologies facing us that classifies Americans based on the color of their skin, and pits them against one another, casting citizens as either oppressor or oppressed.

Joining to dive deeper into this issue is Chris Rufo, an investigative reporter who has worked tirelessly to uncover how Critical Race Theory’s and woke ideology are creeping into education, the corporate world, and beyond.
