Woke corporations vs their customers

BMW's social media page for the Middle East did not switch its logo to the Pride Month, rainbow-themed logo that it sports on its main page for the rest of the world.

Not all companies talk down to their lowly customers.

ractor Supply Co. is a farming supplies retailer headquartered in Tennessee, and it's just gone where no large modern company has gone before.

The company is dropping the diversity, equity, and inclusion goals that it had previously set for itself. In addition, DEI roles will be eliminated, carbon emissions goals will be withdrawn, and the company will stop sending data to the Human Rights Campaign.

Tractor Supply made the move after information began circulating that the company was deeply involved in DEI and ESG initiatives, and its stock price took a nosedive.

"We work hard living up to our mission and our values every day, and represent the values of the communities and customers we serve," the company wrote in a statement. "We've heard from our customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart."

A new study released by the nonprofit 1792 Exchange in conjunction with WestGroup Research and the Manuel H. Johnson Center for Political Economy.

The study finds that almost 80% of Americans feel that companies have gotten too political.

American consumers have a message to any company that wants their business: Hold the politics.

Just ask conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck. What started with a single post on X taking Tennessee-based Tractor Supply to task for its DEI policies has morphed into a growing national movement, sparking public outcry and prompting policy change from John Deere, Harley-Davidson, Jack Daniels, and Lowe's.

This enthusiasm harmonizes with a new study released by the nonprofit 1792 Exchange in conjunction with WestGroup Research and the Manuel H. Johnson Center for Political Economy.

The study finds that almost 80% of Americans feel that companies have gotten too political.

Affiliated with Troy University in Troy, Alabama, the Johnson Center seeks to oppose such ideological capture by training the next generation of business leaders in free-market principles.

80% don't want politics in business while the other 20% are libtards with their heads up their ass.

Walmart, which employs roughly 1.6 million workers nationwide, is scrapping its divisive DEI initiatives and curbing both its customer-facing and worker-facing LGBT activism.

Analysts and "experts" must finally acknowledge that Target caused permanent damage to its brand when it began marketing LGBTQ products to children as part of its Pride Month promotion in mid-2023. Target's ongoing financial struggles are not due to inflation, supply chain issues, or any of the other challenges that have not significantly impacted its competitors.

It is now evident that Target "Bud Lighted" itself. Much like that permanently damaged beer brand, Target bears a reputational stain that continues to repel customers. The retailer remains trapped in a dungeon of consumer rejection, unable to recover.

Allstate ran a promotional video wherein the company's president and CEO Tom Wilson used the New Orleans massacre as an opportunity to lecture Americans — including those who just lost loved ones as the result of an imported ideology — about "divisiveness."

What a stupid and insensitive thing to say while people are grieving. Perhaps Allstate would like the Bud Light treatment.

A lot were on board with that insane ideological investing. Trump and Poilivere will change that a bit.
