They also had a massive layoff in the 1980s, in which Mr. M lost his job. The company is prone to becoming bloated.

How you break woke companies is to boycott them, especially boutique ones like Nike.

They all forget they are built on capitalist business models, and they fall apart if they are denied money and sales.

Drive their share prices to the floor and they'll have no more luxury to be woke.
The Republic is lost.

SO, that must mean those Uyghur slave labor workers will be getting a raise.

Nike.  People before profit. /s
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
