>>87505512Not really, shareholders are not management. They sometimes might give suggestions but people in general have a wrong perception of shareholders being the suits at the very top making all the decisions of a company. That is not true, that is the board of directors. The shareholders do not care as long as the money comes in. And they can be usually talked to and some revenue losses rationalized in earnings reports by management. It’s just that this woke stuff is pretty new still, even though it feels like it’s here forever, but for a 60 year old investor these things move a lot slower, so they’re not that quick to react to it. But once, and I think we currently see that happening already, people realize what an anti-consumer money sink these woke policies are, they’re gonna pull the plug on them and specifically task the management to stay away from that.
>your villain is still capitalism and the coupling of power and wealthSee, your argument falls flat due to a common leftist misconception of what capitalism even is. You equate capitalism to "when many money". It’s really just the free market and decentralization resulting in substitution of every good. Monopolies are fundamentally anti capitalistic because they diminish the total value creation in an economy, that is just Macroeconomics 101, most value is created in total competition, the least in total monopoly, which would be a state controlled economy under communism.
