Nike, American Airlines and Coca-Cola are slammed by Consumers' Research for using 'woke politics' and support of BLM to 'distract from their hypocritical failings'

Nike, American Airlines and Coca-Cola have been accused of putting 'woke politicians' ahead of their customers.

The three companies were targeted in a $1million ad campaign by Consumers' Research, a nearly 100-year-old conservative-leaning watchdog.

-snip-

In their third clip, named Busted, the company criticized Coca-Cola - which has its headquarters in Atlanta - for speaking out against Georgia's voting law.

'Coca-Cola is getting political,' the voice-over said.

'Attacking Georgia's popular voting laws. Why? To distract from years of dismal sales and terrible 2020 results.'

They said Coca-Cola was 'poisoning America's youth and worsening the obesity crisis.'

They also attacked the CEO, James Quincey.

'James Quincey, Coca-Cola, stop poisoning our children. Serve your customers, not woke politicians.'

Hild said that the ads will run on cable channels.

And he said the campaign, which is costing more than $1 million, is just Consumers' Research's opening salvo in its battle against corporate activism.

Sugar water is always going to be poison, even if they get rid of the woke politics.

Oh good God. That’s a bit over the top. Sounds like health NAZIs making the Coke commercial. Just stick to why they shouldn’t alienate more than half their base.

Intel was the first to embrace this nonsense.
After Paul Otellini resigned for health reasons, they packed key management positions with Socialists from India, looked for anyway to cut experienced engineers and hired more cheap Indians.

Infighting began with internal turf wars which doomed the Foundry plans.
Project managers started working to sabotage projects currently in design so they could get funding.

Attempts to bring this to Executive Staff attention were met with threats of instant termination.

The Digital Equipment design center in MA made an attempt to grab all critical design work by mandating only their tools could be used.

Another group countered this by hiring an outside firm from Canada to do critical circuits.

Managers were being forced to hire minorities in spite of the fact they were not qualified for the job.

Managers who refused to follow guidelines were forced out or given “early retirement”

Now 10 years later, Intel went from state of the art to a laughing stock in the semiconductor world.

Correct. And when you decide to kiss some ass, make sure it's an ass that gives a damn.

Maybe it's time to research whether top guys in these companies were 'friends' with Jeffery Epstein - like Bill Gates was... Maybe they're all WOKE and making bad business decision because someone has 'kiddie' files on them...or maybe they were 'researching' how to win a Nobel prize...(yea, right)
