    Why is every CEO’s brain turning to sludge all of a sudden? I mean I get sucking on the toadstool of the king to ensure you get your share of the public coffers as they’re looted, but uh, this dude sells plastic toys and video games t-shirts for twice the price of everyone else.

    And he wants to sell parts of his company which are in countries that aren’t absolute shitholes, and his sales pitch is that you get… free woke?

      I think many CEOs are the peaked-in-high-school types but the business environment has kept them in check, until now. Now with MAGA unleashed, they feel free to show off their idiocy.

      Their brains were already this sort of sludge. They never gave a bloody fuck about people, their shtick was always profits. But they were willing to pink-wash, black-wash, rainbow-wash their junk, as it was good advertisement.

      Now that they feel like they have the back of some banana republic maize republic they’re going all out.

      Because

      1- they were always like this but had advisors and people to speak for them 2- it’s now cool to be a fucking racist, so if you want to be in the Trump club you better get your racism on (see zuck). It’s very very lucrative right now to go along with it and you might be illegally shut down / removed if you dont.
