It’s not news that Disney (destroyer of Star Wars) and Starbucks (destroyer of coffee) are woke.  But just how far they go in their wokeness is shocking — and infuriating.  Read here about the companies’ recent efforts to deny the FEP — and by extension, any who express right-of-center views — federally protected civil and economic rights just because they dare to defend conservative views.

Ben & Jerry’s has been off the reservation for a long time, but it is interesting that so many companies, including Disney and Nike, are willing to partner with someone whose ideas are radical,” says FEP’s Justin Danhof about Colin Kaepernick.

Now that so much of big business is actively crushing conservative communications and news while pushing hard for discrimination on the basis of color, sex, and other characteristics, it’s time for the Right to rethink its business policy.  We are pro-business when that position advances freedom, not the other way around.
FEP’s Scott Shepard considers the implication of these facts in a Townhall Finance commentary.

“Conservatives and free-marketeers who own shares in publicly traded companies can form their own shareholder-advocacy groups to counter pressure on corporations from the Left. They can exert their own powers of persuasion to corporate executives not to bow to ‘woke’ demands,” writes John Berlau at National Review. “The Free Enterprise Project of the National Center for Public Policy Research provides an excellent example of how this can be done.”

Progressives are all about the wealthy paying more, a higher “fair share,” right?  Then what in the world is New York complaining about if it has to contribute more to the federal coffers than relatively poorer states?  But in fact — sit down for this — the Cuomo Administration is lying, again.  When properly counted, New York is raking it in from the federal government, in exchange for very little.  So when it and the other debtor states start “demanding” a bailout, fire up your best Nu Yawk accent and tell them what to do about it.
