    "No corporation has ever made a bad business decision for reasons of internal corporate politics," said nobody who actually understands markets.https://twitter.com/fmanjoo/status/1385642379428827137 …

    one thing critiques of “woke capital” never really contend with is why companies are “woke.” the reason is obvious — they’ve decided it’s good for business, because $$ — and there’s no good counter argument to that. what do you want disney to do? Forget about making money?

        Also, nobody who has observed the woke capital movement really believes that these are all purely business decisions, free of government pressures & influences.

        Free-market capitalism does not assume that all corporate decisions are correct (nor that all are wrong); it depends on the distributed trial and error of the marketplace over time to sift the good decisions from the bad.

        The core function of markets is to bring together willing buyers with willing sellers. Much of what we see today - from external boycott threats to aggressively political stances by companies that alienate segments of their customer base - aims at the opposite of that.

        But taking the original point, Business is "woke" not because they agree, or care, but simply because they've decided paying protection money to the mob is cheaper than the consequences of having their business figuratively, or sometimes literally, looted and burned down.

        Unrelated, Republicans and corporatist judges consistently protecting corporations over actual people really sucks. #consumerprotections
