The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They also had a massive layoff in the 1980s, in which Mr. M lost his job. The company is prone to becoming bloated.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

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.

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.
