Wokeism is Doomed

In the future, Crypto at the Speed of Light, will pull out
of and bankrupt these stupid companies in less than 24hrs.
Some wannabe UN WEF'r Pol maggot says stupid shit,
same thing... click, poof, gone... no more paycheck for you.

Turns out, nobody but the Leftist Screechers (hired tools)
wants gay parades, trannies in schools, Antifa, BLM, etc.

What fun all this U-Turn, Hypocrisy, Blowback, and
Failed ideologies. Keynesians and Pols are next!


Victoria's Secret Ditches 'Wokeness'; Wants To Make Sexy Great Again

Victoria's Secret's shift towards "woke" trends in fashion in recent
years, which included showcasing trans and plus-size models instead of
their traditional sexy models, sparked a wave of discontent among
customers, resulting in a significant revenue drop, crashing stock
price, and Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ratings hitting rock bottom.

The American lingerie chain spent the last several years
'Bud-Light-ing' itself with transgender models like Valentina Sampaio
and super woke soccer player Megan Rapinoe while abandoning its iconic
sexy models.

What changed in the last two decades?

One can only guess who might have pushed 'wokeness' on the brand...

As consumers ditched Victoria's Secret, investors panic-dumped shares
to record low prices.

... because sales plunged a stunning $1.8 billion since 2018 (revenue
for its last full fiscal year fell 6.5%, with net income down nearly
half). Consumers went elsewhere - maybe there was a conservative brand
that took market share.

Earlier this year, CEO Amy Hauk was booted out of the company amid
'woke' controversies. Now CNN reports the brand has given up on
out-woking others and wants to 'Make "Sexiness" Great Again.'

    Victoria's Secret: The Tour '23, an attempt to revive the runway
show format that launched last month fell somewhere in between the
personification of male lust of the brand's aughts-era heyday and the
inclusive utopia promoted by its many disruptors.

    But in a presentation to investors in New York last week, it was
clear which version of the brand Victoria's Secret executives see as
its future.

    "Sexiness can be inclusive," said Greg Unis, brand president of
Victoria's Secret and Pink, the company's sub-brand targeting younger
consumers. "Sexiness can celebrate the diverse experiences of our
customers and that's what we're focused on."

Chief executive Martin Waters also disclosed that woke initiatives
were not profitable for the company, stating, "Despite everyone's best
endeavours, it's not been enough to carry the day."

This comes as the ESG bubble is imploding. And Larry Fink's BlackRock
has ditched the term ESG.

BlackRock has faced intense criticism from Republican lawmakers who
accuse the firm of violating its fiduciary duty by putting wokeness
ahead of investment returns.

BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street hold about 15 and 20% of the
outstanding shares of S&P 500 companies and can have enormous direct
power in corporate decision-making.

Some in corporate America are beginning to realize the challenges ESG
poses for business sustainability.

However, if these companies want to go woke, and then go broke - so be
it. There is a parallel economy that is exploding.
