Does anyone else wonder if there is more behind some the bizarre, anti-business moves many companies are making lately? Think Bud Light for the best current example and it looks like Target is now next.

There are two reasons for this to happen, I think, but I've expanded the possibilities to four.

1. The woke nuts running the company are so myopic and/or dogmatic and/or controlled that they literally are blind to the shifting culture and how poor it will affect their business monetarily. They also, perhaps, value shaping the culture over profit at this point in the war.

2. ESG scores. Their hands are tied.

3. White hat penance. The good guys know some real shady things the company has done,financed, and been involved with. For the betterment of the 95% of innocent employed at the company, they can't down the whole thing. But they make an arrest (see: The CEO resignations) and force the company to in some way show the public what side they are on. I'm not sure if this makes sense to do, as a tactic, but I've considered it.

4. Black hat cannibalism. Maybe some of the elites are so starved financially they are intentionally sabotaging companies they have control over but deem expendable by attempting to short the stock to gain profit when the stock crashes and maybe take over some of the companies when they fail. (Think: what Mitt allegedly specialized in at Bain Capitol combined with what Soros allegedly did with, oh, just the bank of England)

Just some ideas I've had. I still think #1 and #2 are most likely, but I can't rule out the other two options.
