For those tired of corporate wokeness and enjoy people who have been wronged get their due, there is much to be grateful for these days. Disney, Netflix, CNN, The Intercept, and Houston Methodist Hospital have all been served their just desserts.
I’m savoring every morsel.
American Express and Centene Corp. are examples of how company business practices are too often inversely related to the loftiest corporate codes of conduct.
Elon Musk so far is laughing all the way to the bank with his supposed bid to acquire Twitter. Here’s why investors should be concerned by his antics.
Underscoring how America’s establishment media seeks to distract the country from the broader issues threatening the country, the Washington Post today posted a story headlined, “DeSantis takes on Disney in a culture was with national implications.”

Although marred by his politics and blind faith in government, Peter Goodman’s book “Davos Man” is a guaranteed delight for those who are angered about the growing disparity of wealth in America and around the world.

Buy the book and you’ll gain some valuable insight about the business practices of Salesforce’s Marc Benioff, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, JP Morgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon, Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
Reading that Disney plans to stream its first R-rated film this month made me wonder why the entertainment company doesn’t go whole hog shedding its former family entertainment image and stream “Midnight Cowboy,” the only X-rated film to win an Oscar. Unfortunately, the stars of that movie are persona non grata in Hollywood.
Such is the bizarro world we live in. Whoever thought we’d see the day when Disney advocated the sexualization of children and celebrities calling out the hypocrisy of Hollywood?
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, the folks running the Oscars, and some Deutsche Bank bankers in New York have stepped up to reinforce the wisdom of an adage children of my generation were once taught: Honesty is the best policy.
I didn’t think it possible, but my skepticism of socially responsible investing sank even lower upon learning that ESG funds are among the holders of Russia’s sovereign debt. Put another way, ESG investors helped finance Putin’s war machine.
Some additional thoughts on the LGBTQ+ hypocrisy of Disney and its employees, San Francisco’s official boycott of 28 states, and the cost to insure a Tesla Model 3.
