Yeah well maybe they shouldn't have blindly followed and sucked up to Trump either they come out completely apposing him (which is not likely to happen) or I will not buy any products from them
maybe they could try donating more money to him
maybe they can shower him with his obsession with more gold related paraphenelia.
For profit corporations will always support fascism given the chance. It's no coincidence Mussolini called it corporatism.
Isn't managing brand awareness and reputation... you know, a fundamental part of running basically just most businesses with large consumer bases?
Gee, its almost like these people with 'executive' or 'president' or 'head' somewhere in their job titles are all fucking morons who are bad at their jobs, by their own description and metrics they use to describe them!
Bonus Anarcho-Syndicalist 'hot take'
The solution isn't to replace those particular people.
The problem is not those particular people.
The problem is a wildly unbalanced and codified system of power dynamics.
The solution is a radical restructuring of for profit corporations into democratic worker cooperatives of some kind where workers elect their leaders.
Unions, as currently implemented in the US, are generally laughably useless in terms of... you know, actually doing the things they are supposed to do.
This shit will never end and hypercapitalism will drive us all into early graves unless we do something a bit more more radical.
'Radical' meaning: To address the root cause, instead of the effects.
... And for any liberals reading, no, no the oligarchs will not just agree to do this after a passionate speech or 'insightful' op-ed in the Atlantic.
You need to have what is called leverage.
In this context, that means a credible threat of violence.
One of course hopes this threat has to only ever remain as a threat.
Sorry, I didn't write these rules, human history did.
We need Luigi #2 and #3 and so on. That is the way.
Maybe other countries should not have trusted america since it's first illegal war
