CEOs of 181 top American companies - including Apple and Amazon - say the new focus of corporations is to 'improve society' rather than make | |

Once the Wall Street crowd came in the companies almost across the board stopped caring about their employees, the people of the area where they were located, or the communities themselves. Quoting: Midwest Skeptic In my older industrial state when I drive around I see parks everywhere given by those companies. I see schools built 100% by those companies (really NICE schools for their time). Great housing that the workers could buy and live in since they were being paid great wages (the owners "sharing" their good fortune with the people who lived around them) Wall Streeters don't give a damn about their employees, the areas where they operate, or the general public at all. In those few towns and cities here in the industrial midwest where the industry is STILL owned by the founding families those places STILL get regular injections of money into their communities from those companies - money for increasing the quality of life for the entire community ... where it is all owned by Wall Street? NO WAY! Although a Conservative Republican I have always thought that the Wall Street Banker Types are Corporate Vultures of the WORST TYPE .... and have long disagreed with the Harvard MBA approach to how to run a business. I was watching the food that built america last week on History. They talked about how companies built crappy housing so workers could be close. Then they focused on Hershey building a town with great housing so his workers would be happy and produce better, even before he had perfected his mild chocolate recipe. Now the CORPS. dont about long time customers, its all about the new business. I am with comcast cable ( traitorous bastards) and they will pay a new customer 300 gift card and give them better channels than a loyal customer. That is what is wrong with America. Call to cancel because of that reason, be reasonable and they will give you something to shut up. I actually told them the offer for newbies and been with them 15 years and said if didnt offer something would cancel, they didnt care!!! |

I don't know how long they can keep this up, especially in the face of the many boycotts we've had. Quoting: Blue State Rebel They are no longer practicing capitalism, this is communism. Actually this in cooperation with local DNC ESTABLISHMENT GOVERNMENTS so it is technically FASCISM Fascism is just a preliminary stage of communism. Both involve the control of business by the government - the degree is the difference. The degree is if this CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR in the White House can even distinguish between the 2 If Trump signs any red flag legislation, he is a FASCIST DESPOT Pray |

It might be that management is only looking at the figures of NEW customers, not retention. You might consider dropping your cable for a while. If you can fall back into the category of a "new" customer, they might show you some respect. |

I said a while ago the whole notion of "Get woke go broke" is a farce. These companies are not going broke! They are getting a handsome compensation from our overlords in making sure they indoctrinate and socially engineer society. I mean since when do you remember seeing companies attack their own customers and fanbase??? Why? Because they can now afford to! Someone else is paying them! They no longer need OUR MONEY! |

It has ~$6.5T in managed assets which are someone elses money. Competition is an illusion then. The Fed Reserve creates money out of thin air and funnels it their people on Wall Street who grow the corporations they use to control the country. Monopoly capitalism. We are being enslaved by the dynastic banking families (currency counterfeiters) and their fiat money billionaire frontmen. > : |

Yes. In today's era of a handful of corporations running the world, social responsibility is important. My concern is their view of what's good for society. Some of them will not get that right, but will continue to foster globalist interests. |

We need campaign reform on corporations spending to buy politicians!!! Since only citizens have the right to vote, only citizens should have the right to contribute to political campaigns, and that should be limited in amount so that politicians can’t be bought like they currently are |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77932706 They want to collapse society, to enable British Monarchist corporeal, and Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, supremacy. They want to restore Crown and Church, and as was correctly guessed, reduce us to uneducated serfs. That is the real reason they are destroying the places of education. Be it k-12, college/university and the public library system. We are on the cusp of another Dark Age, brought to us by the British Royalty and Nobility, and the Roman Catholic Church. The British Crown will blame their agents while hiding their own guilt, whom they sent into all Western Governments, and say "the small folk just aren't cut out to govern themselves". The Church, will blame their agents, and hide their own guilt when they say "see, this is what happens when you try to leave the mother Church. Homosexual Bishops and other abominations". Look at many of the corporations, they are owned by the British or Roman Catholic's. This is asymmetrical warfare against America.  First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. ~ Mahatma Gandhi "Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever." ~ George Orwell "The exact level of tyranny that you're going to live under, is the level of tyranny you put up with." ~Thomas Jefferson "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. ~ Thomas Jefferson |
