The problem is the C-suite leadership.

They are cowardly and feckless and have allowed this moral manic to roll along unimpeded.

There need to start being reputational costs for those at the apex of the corporations.

The midwit HR and DEI hysterics will do what they do, but it is leadership is responsible for imposing order and they have totally abrogated their responsibility.

C-Suite leadership is generally in their late 50s/early 60s, and they don't want to rock the boat in the last few years before their pension options vest. They just want to pump the stock price as high as they can to maximize their payout before they ride off into the sunset.

Plus, companies want to be able to say they're doing something socially responsible, and hanging a few BLM signs around the office is much cheaper than increasing everyone's benefits, or sourcing goods in democratic countries instead of 3rd world sweatshops.

So, the C-Suite has misaligned incentives, which the DEI midwits are taking full advantage of. On the bright side, Disney getting publicly spanked by Republicans might recalibrate the risk/reward calculus within the C-Suite, when it comes to whether or not letting the DEI team effectively run the company is such a good idea after all.

They and we all will suffer the consequences of their cowardice.

That's the thing; they won't really suffer, because by the time the chickens come home to roost, they're retired with a golden pension. Until then, they're just weathervanes following whichever way the wind is blowing strongest.

I'm not sure if that's cowardice, selfishness, laziness, or some combination thereof.

Smith let in some softies. The zebras tried to take us out in game 6 but we powered through.

Well, you made it to round two. "Battle of Alberta" (or something like that).

Not only are they cowardly and feckless but they've funneled millions to BLM - apparently so BLM leaders can remediate housing "discrimination" by buying mansions in white neighborhoods. So much for "shareholder democracy."

Totally agree. The tone is set at the top.
