"Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job But Gave Me My Voice," that "woke capitalism" is simply "corporate America's attempt to profit off Millennial and Gen Z activism," and spells out why.

In an excerpt published in the New York Post, Sey says many executives "want to distance themselves from the greedy image of past business leaders" by taking on causes to help society or the planet.

"Corporate leaders want us to believe they are do-gooders, not money-grubbers," she writes. "They'll get rich, too, but they don't want you to think that is their mission." Instead, she says, "business executives would have us believe that they are our saviors," pointing to the efforts of high-profile billionaires.
"Most CEOs lack the moral courage to hold their ground," Sey wrote. "Because they know, deep down, that they aren’t do-gooders, and they don’t want that curtain lifted."

In the corporate world what happens is even the most reasonable people are deathly afraid of a vocal fringe minority (mostly white by the way) that will cancel you if you don’t have all your holidays, pronouns, and alphabet soup all in perfect order.

So they give in. It’s easier to just be extorted and pay, what to them is a very small dollar amount, than to fight and stand on principle.

Companies are there to make money, it’s similar to when an insurance company just pays off nuisance lawsuits. It’s just easier to pay them off, and put in their little holiday or celebration or trans gender pacific islander appreciation day, send a memo to the workforce, and be done with it.

I have been witness to this for about the last 15 years.
 
Sorta related. I saw this morning that the upcoming World Series between Philly and the Astros will be the first one since 1950 without a single US-born Black player on either team.

Jackie Robinson was the only Black player in 1947 and 1949; Larry Doby the only one in '48. The NY Yankees and Phillies had no Black players in 1950 but since then ... it's been 72 years.

Pretty shocking.

I guess that is incredible, but every year in every championship… some nerd statistician goes and finds a “first time _____ happened since ____”. That is what they found for this year’s World Series I guess

Btw, I did see a headline that “the World Series isn’t black enough”. I didn’t click on it, cause it seemed like click bait garbo… but is this what they were referring to?

Shocking why?

Basically tells me the great majority of Black kids are playing basketball or football these days. Once the Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby signings opened the flood gates on the previously all-White game in the late 40s, Black players dominated well in the latter parts of the 20th Century. Then ...

Amazing to me that Bubba only got suspended for one week. He should’ve been suspended the rest of the year at a minimum. What he did was incredibly dangerous.

Larson had a run, Harvick let him go (bc he knows what he’s doing), and for whatever reason Bubba didn’t. Larson never touched him. He just didn’t give Bubba as much room as I guess he thought he deserved? Who knows. Larson did nothing wrong. That’s racing. He’s one of these guys who races hard from lap 1 to the finish. And the best driver nascar has seen since Jimmy Johnson.

I only saw the after never saw the before. He chased him down to the bottom of the track just to end both their days. He was out of control mentally. Caused a crash that didn’t need to happen and then tried to fight about it later.

He’s got major entitlement issues that were only exacerbated when Denny and MJ gave him a job. There’s a reason a new team had to be started, for him to have a seat. And it’s not bc everybody is racist.

He just can’t handle racing. He thinks everybody is out to get him since the entire world was trying to make him a victim bc of a garage door pull.
