Corporate Cowardice – Buz Blog

To see the right and not do it is cowardice” – Confucius

Cowardice is the mother of Cruelty” – Michel de Montaigna

It looks like much of corporate America is trying to irritate their customers to the point of ruining their bottom line. Those executives who embrace the woke agenda seem to have started a backlash against their products and services. Why would these for profit companies want to commit financial suicide? Do their investors want to lose money? Since it is happening at so many companies at the same time, what is the reason for this self destruction?

The cause of all of this seemingly sudden idiocy is that some of the biggest investment companies are pushing ESG rather than fiscal success. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. Some of the top investment funds such as Blackrock and Vantage base their investments on ESG scores. The environmental part of the score seems to be based on the extreme end of the climate change projections. The social section of the score appears to be pushing companies toward the asinine diversity, equity and inclusion programs that rank race, gender, and sexual preference over ability. The governance segment of the score again places the diversity of the governing board above its competency.

There are now third party companies that do the ESG ratings. Does all this bureaucracy cause an organization to be more efficient and profitable? It doesn’t look like it does in many cases. A great many companies attempt to obtain a higher score by pursuing ESG recommendations. One can only assume that, by following the diversity employment practices, Anheuser-Busch hired totally incompetent woke employees for their Bud Light marketing department. As a result of cowardly bowing to the politically correct agenda to increase their ESG score, Anheuser-Busch has lost billions of dollars and a large part of their market share of beer sales by hiring a trans man to be their spokesman.

The same goes for the Target department stores. A few years ago, Target started allowing men who dressed and identified as women to use the women’s restrooms. There was some backlash from that, but it was nothing compared to the backlash this year, when, they came out with displays celebrating “gay pride” with children’s swim wear and “trans” swim suits for men who wanted to go to the beach posing as women. It looks like a great number of Target’s former customers have decided to boycott the store because of their craven caving to a minute, but very vocal, vituperative minority. How much money will this surrender to ESG cost Target?

The most egregious offense to the decency of regular Americans had to be by the LA Dodgers. First they invited, then disinvited, and then reinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the Gay Pride night at Dodger Stadium. To add insult to injury, the Dodgers then gave them a “community service” award. This is a group transvestite men, who dress in exaggerated nun’s habits and grotesque makeup. They mock Catholics, Christians and religion in pornographic skits that exude blasphemy. To compound their cowardice, it is inconceivable that the Dodger organization would have honored this profane group while two Catholics in their system, Tommy Lasorda and Vince Scully were still alive.

In an effort to avoid offending a group that represents less than one percent of the population and is also a small minority even in the gay community, the Dodgers have caused a great deal of animosity and pain to those who believe in God. This is a prime example of how cowardice is the mother of cruelty.

The resistance to idiotic, anti-family, anti logical, anti-religion and anti-American marketing by American corporations has started. The best combat weapon we have, is to boycott those companies that practice this form of cowardice. Those that who have investment advisors should request that they have their money diverted to investment funds that do not promote ESG policies.
