‘Woke’ Companies Get Bad News
© Provided by America Insider

A revealing poll shows the majority of Americans do not want companies to take a stand on controversial political and social issues in society.

Roughly 60% of Americans think companies should not take a public stance on current events.

This is up from 52% last year. (Poll: Will you shop at ‘woke’ companies? VOTE)


A poll from Gallup and Bentley University found that only 37% of Americans think businesses should take a public stance on LGBTQ+ issues, 45% on racial issues, 39% on gun laws, 34% on immigration policy and 27% on international conflicts.

In comparison, slightly more Americans supported companies taking a stand on global warming (55%), mental health (52%), free speech (49%) and healthcare (48%).

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Seriously? for two generations kids have been relentlessly and almost exclusively been fed that crap from every angle. Even National Geographic has jumped that shark, and long ago.

I'm amazed that the number who buy into that isn't higher.

...and it didn't say if the people believed that stance should be "no, it isn't happening".

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
