Who thought capitalism would be destroying the most free nation in history, and driving us to Communism? Sorry, they don't care about boycotts. Boycott away!

This seems to be joined at the hip with ESG scores. How do Americans retain their nation? God help us all.

Where it fits, however, is the current trend of corporations directly imposing themselves on more aspects of public life—not just to influence policy to benefit themselves, but also to herd Americans toward certain political viewpoints and behaviors.
According to Michael Rectenwald, a retired liberal arts professor at New York University and expert on the intersection of socialist ideology and the corporate world, these firms are behaving more and more like government branches.
The trend’s trajectory leads to a de facto fusion of government with a select group of corporations based on shared ideology—what Rectenwald calls “corporate socialism” or “capitalism with Chinese characteristics,” as it closely resembles the totalitarian model of the Chinese Communist Party.
“We are witnessing the convergence of political and economic objectives and the merging of state and corporate functions. Corporations are now acting as state apparatuses to enforce uniparty–state desiderata,” he told The Epoch Times via email.

NO ONE wants a portfolio with low ESG scoring corporations, sell those fuckers.
Little companies don't give a shit, but that's what the Covid lockdowns are for - driving the little guys out.
Fuck the middle class up the ass and make sure volume shareholders at Delta, Amazon, and MSFT get paid.
Covid helped with this...bigly!
