Companies that go woke

Thank you for commenting without reading about the companies profitability since the righties said they “were done with…(fill in the name)”.
I'm not sure that anyone expects Rolling Stone, an entertainment and culture magazine, to be unbiased in "reporting." If a person expects that, then the problem is not with the magazine.
So they made up numbers?
Come on this isn't fauxnews or james o'keefe or any of the multitudes of propaganda machines that feast on trumpers.
What being left out is the numbers of jobs the were cut so these companies could maintain their profits. It’s all about the stock holder after all.
Let’s not even mention many also cut expansions and future construction (more jobs loss) and increased prices.

Hey do you have a link to an article that refers to this, Just curious your ideas came from someplace so wanting to read more about it.
No my “ideas” but you’re more than welcome to read about it yourself. The article posted does talk some about jobs being cut etc. I’d say you either don’t pay attention very well and/or did read the posted article.
Bottom line is nearly all the companies listed saw large losses initially then when people forgot and moved on (like they usually do in the US), they flatlined.
That article mostly used raw profits. Kruerig for example had to buy another company to increase its profits. Most of the companies listed backed off it’s original stance and redirected its consumers but the doesn’t change the fact most lost millions and in some cases billions.
FYI no one attacked the messenger. You’re not a victim. Just pointed out some flaws in the article. Which somehow managed to trigger you. 🤷🏽♂️
This is exactly why there will be no "rebellion."
The only thing that would cause that is the collapse of the US dollar. Despite all the propaganda on both sides, nearly all Americans are fat and happy.
I read the article and I tend to agree that people moved on, however that tends to be more of the right than the left and the rght really not big on alot of those products. I didn't read anything about layoffs? You would have to point that out to me and I did reread it again. Second I don't really pay attention to who is in the commercials when it comes to the products I purchase, not sure I even have seen many commercials as of late. It is more about if I like the product or not. But I do own stock in many companies and have seen many bumps in those stocks. Not sure if it is from the woke or just because of natural growth. But in the end it is clear that woke right didn't work look at Truth social, currently they have about 600,000 users and as far as a company that is worth buying into right now everybody will tell you stay away from it versus twitter, would you purchase stock in that company. But then look at chik filet, the left has railed against them for years and they still have steady growth over the years so not sure in the end if it is the product or the policy that determines a companies fortunes, I would vote more for product.
“Like others in the tech sector, Amazon has recently laid off thousands of workers”
Disney last year laid off 7000 workers.
Stocks I think is the most telling. Disney for example was worth over 200 per in March 2021 and is not selling at just over 90.
Personally I was losing to much in the market and sold it all, then invested in real estate, gold and silver.
Truth social I don’t believe is a good comparison as it’s a start up. Going alt right or left won’t be successful as compared to existing corporations. My pillow would be a better example as it seems to be doing well.
I’m not a victim. I’m not the messenger. Bahahahahaha
Rolling Stone was the messenger. Rolling Stone was criticized.
Good grief.
FYI, Rolling Stone is journalism.
FYI, a lot of companies lay off workers and increase profits. A lot of companies purchase other businesses and increase their profits. That doesn’t prove nor disprove the point of the article.
But carry on with your BS. And keep getting in and out of the market. It makes me feel even smarter.
Oh shucks scooter. Ya got me there. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep up with the ole nazi propaganda machine. It’s good entertainment and you probably shouldn’t feel too smart. I’ve recouped my losses in less than a year x2. Jokes on you brown coat Billy.
On another note why does everything have to be ignorant with you? Why do completely lack the ability to just have a conversation.

He's really good at coming with new user names on here. What the heck does he do on some other board to get blacklisted so much?
Yep Amazon is laying off in parts but they are also hiring. Disney same thing, Yep they are still hiring. How do I know because I had both companies in the last several months try to get me to apply for jobs they had, and yes while not great paying jobs they still were offering around $120,000 to start with moving incentives.
Yeah investing is not for everybody, but sounds like you are getting a bit smarter, you do need to be diversified real estate and gold and silver is a good start, but still need to be in the market. Gas and Oil is big right now huge profits.
You folks live in a different world than I ever have if you think $120,000 is not a great paying job.
Please...whatever you worked for a railroad company I know you did alright and your retirement is banging, My Uncle started out in track repair back in the 70's for the Frisco then slowly moved up they never hurt for money and his benefits were dang good. Now my dang nephew who is well a big dummy somehow passed his engineer for the railroad and I know he is pulling down 6 figures.You folks live in a different world than I ever have if you think $120,000 is not a great paying job.
I worked own the track for for Missouri Pacfic then Union Pacific over 30 years and retired in 2005. I NEVER made 40k in a year and I averaged about 400 hours of OT per year. My pension is not that either.
Engineers do make real good money and conductors do too but you couldn't compare their pay to trackman's pay back then or now. Trackmen now make a good paycheck but they work from here to Wyoming and down to Texas to get it.
Let's not even mention the family farms that went bankrupt and out of business from Trump's trade war.
Salary is relative to where you live - $120,000 is a damn good living in rural Missouri, maybe just good in STL or KC if the wife works too, but barely a living wage in New York City. That's why a national minimum wage doesn't make sense.
bullit must be knocking down some jack!! Good for you!!
I heard a great quote from a former NBA player turned financial advisor for NBA players, I can't remember his name, when asked the greatest lesson he has learned he said " Money can make money a whole lot faster than people can make money!!"
I see crickets from you since you didn't have any idea what you were talking about when it comes to RR trackman's pay and my "bangin pension."
RR retirement gets the same cost of living raises that SS gets and the one we just got was 8.7%. That was THE biggest yearly raise I have ever received for any RR contract or RR retirement.
Why argue, not sure what the point would be.
But I know what my family does and thier lifestyle and they do very nice working for the railroad, one just purchased a heck of a home down in Oklahoma where he works out of.
The others are in Dallas area and I have been to thier homes all have pools and are very large homes, maybe they are leaving beyond thier means but I doubt it. Because they are now trying to get thier son in the business.
I was talking about MY income when I worked on the RR and MY RR retirement and you said MY pension is "bangin." I was just telling you they do make more money on the track now but a lot of them travel a long way to work for 8 for or 9 days then 6 or 7 off but some of that time is spent getting back home and back to work. When I retired in 2005 my hourly rate was about $17.50 an hour. For me then that was pretty good pay but it was never the kind of money you speak of and my RR pension when I left was about the same each month as I made working minus any OT hours. Trackmen still don't make the kinda of money train crew folks do.
