Where Michigan’s biggest companies rank in supporting pro-democracy policies
WDIV Detroit- ClickOnDetroit ^ | October, 2, 2022 | Grant Hermes (Leftist Reporter)

The majority of the country’s top 100 companies received failing grades when it came to supporting pro-democracy policies, according to a new report.

On that list, major brand names that impact most daily lives of voters, including three big Michigan based companies and dozens of others with large economic footprints in the state.

The companies were graded on an A-F scale, based on 14 different points including expressed public opposition to the January 6th insurrection on the US Capitol, has a company taken action or a stance on voting rights legislation encouraging access to voting and is the company being transparent about their political donations.

“There obviously, is a lot of work to do for companies to you know, match their rhetoric with their actions for democratic like towards democracy,” Tony Carrk, the executive director of Accountable.US, the non-profit group behind the scorecard.

The change in our language continues. If the Italians voted for a Conservative, that’s anti-democracy.

If a company isn’t woke or support a leftist agenda, or candidate, that’s anti-democracy.

WDIV is a major local NBC affiliate in the Detroit-Metro Area. They ran this story instead of reporting President Trump’s rally in Michigan’s 3rd largest, Warren, Macomb County.

The reporter is making a name for himself, one of the names are Bias-A-Hole.

Grading corporations on their objections to January 6th is simply ridiculous. Just another attempt by leftists to control.

Great points on # 6 and 7!

Of course they didn’t check. They wanted something stupid to publish to counter Trumps visit.

What business does business have in “pro-democracy”? What the hell is pro-democracy?

When businesses focus on democracy, diversity, inclusion, equity, wokeism, transgenders, gay pride, ESG, and climate change they don’t have the time and resources to be profitable.

Any info on how much business these companies do with China? How does having 10,000 Uyghurs forced to assemble your shoes balance against issuing a press release calling Donald Trump an orange meanie?

Exactly.

The new use of the word “Pro-Democracy” means embracing, implementing the Leftist agenda.

If you’re pro 2nd Amendment, you’re anti Democracy, for example.

I agree.
GM and Ford probably do use China for secondary parts suppliers.

“when it came to supporting pro-democracy policies”

Translation: when it comes to supporting policies that Dims support, even their most antidemocratic policies.

I work for a growing and conservative Fortune 500 company. They are about business and stay away from the nonsense.

They play the ESG game just so they can say they do, but it’s very clear that they aren’t at all serious about it.

Yep.
That’s the new game.
If you don’t support dem leftist, you’re anti democracy.

Just like critical race theory……if you don’t admit you’re a racist, you are a racist.

ESG is a fear driven program.
Threats of lock outs from the business world.

I wait for the day the perpetrators of that come crashing down with scandal after scandal.
Power like that often destroys the leaders.
