This is what happens when you go woke. American people don’t like woke!
This years+’s bell ringers around here seem to include a number of homeless people, some strange looking women., skank seems to be the common description by passers by.
Companies have been "getting woke" since as long as I can remember -- since the 1970s. Fast food chains, network telvision, Hollywood, most large corporations. And they've only gotten bigger and more profitable.
If "Get Woke, Go Broke" were real, all the woke companies would have been bankrupt by the 1990s, and businesses would be overwhelmingly conservative. Yet, that hasn't happened.
Ever see one of those lists of woke companies we're supposed to boycott? It's got practically every large company on it.
Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are all woke. Boycott them, and you won't have a phone. (And before you recommend a small, conservative provider -- be aware that ALL small phone companies pay to use one of the Big Three's networks.)
Apple, Android -- both woke.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express -- all woke.
Amazon, Walmart, Target, all the big online and big box retailers - all woke.
Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, and other big banks, all woke.
Sorry to be a Gloomy Gus, but "Get Woke, Go Broke" ain't true.
The seemingly quick corporate obsession with everything BLM and Woke reminds me of how fast marketing changed after the 1967 “summer of love”. Everything shifted into groovy, hip and mod advertising. It was a reaction to a genuine shift in culture.
The boardrooms of today were banking on BLM and Woke having the same impact on society but it is not turning out that way. This time the culture shift is a manufactured one instead of genuine.
