Corporations are beholden to other forces beyond the consumer: let me introduce you to the CEI and their scoring system. CEI stands for Corporate Equality Index. They receive their money from the Open Society Foundation. They’re very activist driven and in 2002, they started an equality index to score how well corporations are doing in favor of gay or LGBQT rights.
This score is very useful because it’s part of a company’s overall ESG score. Corporations are basically forced to be socially responsible. The score, from 1-100, determines how friendly corporations are to the Deep State ESG agenda. And they demand that these companies bend over backwards to have a perfect 100.
If you don’t have a 100 CEI score, they screw you. They send agents from the Human Rights Campaign to your corporation to tell you what you have to do and you must meet their demands. If you say no, because you sense this activism will damage your relationship with your consumer base, you’re really screwed. It’s a form of racketeering. They even make your corporation lobby for certain kinds of legislation, or they’ll have ad campaigns they want you to undertake. They’ve even pushed the three major airlines to give free airline tickets to certain activists to fly to pride events.
Every year, they come up with new demands.
If you decide not to meet their demands, a number of things will happen. Your score will go down, and Larry Fink will delist you from Index Funds. It’s a huge reservoir of money that goes into your stock value. They’ll remove your board members. It’s also tied into bonuses for CEO’s.
It’s so far down the road. The consumer doesn’t matter anymore. The regular Joe doesn’t matter anymore. The stakes are high. Our only hope is exposure of these crooked people.
Thanks for providing some context and perspective. I long figured there were activist groups that a lot of corporate America is beholden to, I get that. And that needs to change long term.
But we can and should boycott AB and other woke companies. We need to have it to where they tell the woke bunch to piss off and get back to their customer base. When you start giving in to woke, it only goes downhill from there and gets worse. What is the woke bunch going to demand next? You know it's only going to get worse from here.
Or maybe even we need to rethink the corporate paradigm? Maybe get back to the idea of locally owned production and services?
Corporate ANYTHING always leads to the same endgame. What we're experiencing now.
This goes for companies, cities (only in America are cities 'incorporated'), states & countries. And of course all forms of organized religion which are the same thing. Corporations.
