      Which is a principled distinction. Much of the behavior of woke capitalism is a matter of corporate managers misusing the assets entrusted to them for purposes other than benefitting the shareholders.https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1384217004488335365 …

      The GOP says it's mad at corporations even as it protects shareholders from taxes. But that's the thing: Firms aren't their shareholders. The GOP's "woke capital" beef isn't with capital, it's with *managers* & the workers and customers who influence them. https://www.businessinsider.com/woke-capital-isnt-about-capital-republicans-taxes-corporations-managers-2021-4 …

      I think there are three things execs might be doing. These actions might generate profits. They might be serving the interests of other stakeholders, like workers and customers (independent of how that affects profits). Or they might be doing what they personally prefer.

      Nobody is going to defend the view that executives should use the company as they personally see fit. But why shouldn't a firm sometimes balance the interests of workers or customers against those of shareholders?

      Seems like a lot of these decisions are designed to appeal to urban customer bases, which will in turn satisfy shareholders.

      Except not every corporation has an overwhelmingly young, urban customer base, even if most managers would prefer they did.

          yea, the median MLB viewer is probably a middle aged white guy. Who exactly were they appealing to by moving the All Star game?

          I'm sure these execs get over their skis at times, but I imagine they are generally aware of how young urban consumers merge their buying preferences with their politics. Not that that's how it should be, but I bet they've done a bit of market research on it.

          Yeah, like with the Gillette woke, daddy issues razor campaign, some of it is management going along with more radical PR staff amusing themselves. The PR staff are expecting that even bad results will be explained away by managers who don't want to admit they screwed up.

          Some of these campaigns go awry, obviously.

          These decisions are designed to appeal to the marketing department that is promoting them. Which is an embarrassment to everyone involved, as with few exceptions that marketing department isn’t at all like the customer base in terms of politics.

          Replying to @DouglasLukasik @baseballcrank @jbarro

          Is it to appeal to the personnel in the marketing department? Or is it to appeal to those whom the marketing department thinks will buy the company's products?
