      "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.

          Also seems like a conflation of brands like Tom’s (donating shoes for every pair purchased) v. Corporations getting directly involved in politics. One manages to exclude / anger 50% of the population while the other is basically a universal positive

          Civil rights pretty much excluded/ angered 50% of the population at the time. Would you say integration of soda shoppes arent a universal good?

          That's the very thing that woke capital is against.

          You mean like the president personally calling NFL team owners and telling them not to hire a player who kneels during the anthem?

          What government influence is pushing them towards it? It seems like the clearest government influence is the proposed retaliation against them for speaking out.

          ^ This is hilarious. Conservatives love to ignore the fact that they have been in power in state governments and most branches of government during the entire rise of "wokeness."
