These companies are only saying whatever they think they need to say to earn the most money. That's all it's ever been about.
I'd bet they started pushing woke agendas because they were paid/bribed/forced to in one way or another.
Not gonna believe companies that purchase every ounce of personal data that they can get their hands on really believed that their customer base is such a high percentage of LGBT or whatever else that they spent millions/billions pandering to the tiny demographic.
There was a much higher reason for their wokeness, and I'm sure it got them lots and lots of money and/or power.
In an indication that corporate progressivism may be reaching its high water mark, CEOs are starting for the first time to push back against activist employees, in some cases going so far as to fire them rather than steer their companies into the mire of “woke” politics.
“It turns out that alienating the majority of your customer base is terrible for business,”Left-wing newspaper The Intercept lamented that the election of President Joe Biden was supposed to mark the start of a golden era for the progressive moment. Instead, “Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and other reproductive health organizations had been locked in knock-down, drag-out fights between competing factions of their organizations … It’s also true of the progressive advocacy space across the board, which has, more or less, effectively ceased to function.”
The Washington Post, another left-wing newspaper, was compelled to fire reporter Felicia Sonmez in early June for incessant public attacks on a fellow staff writer and on the paper itself, charging them with racism and sexism. In response to Sonmez’s critical tweets, Executive Editor Sally Buzbee initially issued an advisory to all staff that “we do not tolerate colleagues attacking colleagues either face to face or online.” When that failed to rein Sonmez in, the Post fired her for “insubordination, maligning your coworkers online and violating the Post’s standards on workplace collegiality and inclusivity.”
Companies are learning that they are often hurting their own brands and losing customers by taking up highly controversial political positions. And like Chapek, many CEOs are finding themselves unprepared for the harsh world of social-justice politics.
The executives of Coca Cola, Delta Airlines, Microsoft, Levi’s, and Major League Baseball chose to protest voter-ID laws in Georgia, with MLB even removing its all-star games from Atlanta. Delta CEO Ed Bastian first supported the law, then turned against it in response to left-wing threats to boycott the airline.
But few companies followed Disney into the fight over child sex education, and so far, few companies have waded into the abortion debate, despite indications that the Supreme Court could decide to overturn Roe v Wade, passing decisions on abortion law back to state legislatures.
yes, I wonder how many other CEOs were/are waiting to see who goes first and what reception their actions get ?
So many decision makers really believe that the crazy left are the majority when in fact they are a very loud minority who have 81 million stolen votes to hide behind.
Truth is, those stolen votes are imaginary friends.
Inevitable! Just watch as this becomes contagious. The reign of our world by pedophiles and insane woke perversion is about to end. Our eyes are wide open and NOT wide-shut.
No longer a movie. Audience participation is now required.

It's down to big money requiring companies to have a good ESG in order to get capital.
Being a woke fgt means your ESG score is high.

Finger in the air testing the wind.

Finally, people open to the idea that we need more self-defense ability and intellectual combat readiness than muh inclusivity.
