This is what I don't understand. Yes, corporations pander to marginalised demographics, but I have not once seen them lose significant income or have been boycotted. Fascist corporations, meanwhile, lost customers and stocks like Target and Tesla.
Like really, who's going broke? Methinks this is projection from the right, or disinformation from state or non-state actors alike to keep the population divided.
To be right wing is to be ruled by emotions. Humans are all emotional creatures, but for some people it reaches a point where emotion alone creates reality. Facts are there to be picked up or set aside to support feelings. When their guy eats ice cream it's because he's a man of the people. When your guy eats ice cream it's because he's a baby. Facts don't matter. It's feelings.
And most of their feelings seem to be fear. Fear of loss. Fear of humiliation. You can show them stats and history demonstrating how, like, a diverse workforce leads to higher productivity and greater happiness, but that doesn't matter. They're not looking at facts. They're feeling feelings.
Imagine trying to talk to someone who's drunk. That's the right wing, except all the time and they can't really sober up. Honestly, it sounds like hell.
Yo, don't compare my drunk ass to those people. When I'm drunk I only get 100% more talkative and like 500% more gay.
So do the right wingers’ homie. So do the right wingers’
This is of course not helped in any way by the fact that right-wing news are basically just fear, hate, tits and the weather report.
It always is.
Bud lite. That's it. That's all they've got. Number one beer to number three and since it's a massive corporation, the larger entity didn't go broke but they're too poorly educated to understand they moved from one brand to another under the same mega corp.
What are you talking about? Tesla's stock price is coming back up in line with everyone else. They're actually doing much better than more woke companies like Apple.
Its planning on getting a massive welfare infusion for a fake missile defense system it will never be able to make work while the government it now half owns is planning on tariffing most of the leading brands of cars. Meanwhile the only inherently profitable thing it actually does which is to say make cars its doing very poorly at.
Apple is doing incredibly well at selling phones and computers but the Trump administration is not only threatening to tariff stuff made overseas they specifically threatened to tariff iPhones specifically.
So in brief Apple stock is going down despite being great at its business whilst Tesla is on its way back up even as people won't buy their cars. Its just corruption.
Competitors have outsold Tesla as part of boycott, so the stocks won't go back to its peak at $400-410. What is happening is that it simply became pump and dump for most traders (I have been shorting it myself).
Tesla's share price is up 40% in just one month. You can't short when it's rising, unless you want to lose shitloads of money. It's also half way through to full recovery, which should happen within a month more.
What is happening is that everyone who were panic selling lost their money, those who were buying from panicking lemmings got already rich. 40% returns in one month is just fucking bonkers!
Tesla share price has been going up and down in the past couple of months. You are correct it went up 40% broadly speaking, but it is because people have just been pumping and dumping. I guarantee Tesla stocks will crash again as long as Musk is the CEO and the board of directors don't get rid of him.
You can still short as day trade even if the overall market or stocks is going down by exploiting the price movements. But that is more stressful I must admit.
