    Eighty-eight corporate leaders signed a new letter Friday endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

    Signers include former 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch, Snap Chairman Michael Lynton, Yelp boss Jeremy Stoppelman and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen.

    If the Democratic nominee wins the White House, they contend, “the business community can be confident that it will have a president who wants American industries to thrive.”


WASHINGTON — Eighty-eight current and former top executives from across corporate America have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in a new letter shared exclusively with CNBC.

Among the signers are several high-profile CEOs of public companies, including Aaron Levie of Box
, Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp and Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap

.

Other signers appear to be issuing their first public endorsements of Harris since she became the de facto Democratic nominee in July.

They include James Murdoch, former CEO of 21st Century Fox and an heir to the Murdoch family media empire, and crypto executive Chris Larsen, co-founder of the Ripple blockchain platform.

Other notable signers are philanthropist Lynn Forester de Rothschild, private equity billionaire José Feliciano, Twilio co-founder Jeff Lawson, and D.C. sports magnate Ted Leonsis, owner of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, WNBA’s Mystics and the NHL’s Washington Capitals.

It will be offshore in accounts not in dollars.

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.

Is there a list of these companies so we can boycott them (as much as we can, anyway)?

I must also note that "88" in a gang tat stands for the 8th letter of the alphabet, twice, "HH" for "Heil Hitler"
Interesting coinkydink...

These are the kinds of people who know how to make money either way...
Many are "former", many are no surprise, and many are voting with their women parts.
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

Anyone else wonder how many of them directly or indirectly have their hands in the public treasury?

I'd say about 10% of on this stupid list are people who truly have some level of power.

Notice how many times "former" "founder", and other weasel words are injected into their titles.

Geez....  Just noticed Summers is on that list.  Even after he has bashed Bidenomics relentlessly the past year.

What a sell out.  He could have just kept his Obama knee padding thoughts to himself, and kept a shred of dignity

Thanks, @SZonian Only a couple on the list I do business with that I know of.

And many of them are former executives or 'founders' which may or may not be running the show at the moment.

It's a ghost list designed to punk people.
