Roughly 100 of America’s top corporate leaders and CEOs gathered both in-person and virtually on Saturday to strategize ways to combat new election integrity laws like Georgia’s H.B. 531. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a Yale University management professor who helped organize the meeting, framed it as a response to threats of reprisals after Georgia-based companies like Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola, and Aflac Insurance condemned the Georgia bill. He called election integrity measures “anti-undemocratic.”
“The gathering was an enthusiastic voluntary statement of defiance against threats of reprisals for exercising their patriotic voices,” Sonnenfeld told CBS News. The corporate leaders “recognize that they need to step up to the plate

Spend wisely:
“Some CEOs joined the Zoom conference from Augusta National Golf Course, the site of the Masters PGA golf tournament, while others joined remotely. Attendees included NFL Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank; James Murdoch, the son of Rupert Murdoch; AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron; law firm chairman Brad Karp; Ariel Investments co-CEO Mellody Hobson; Walmart CEO Doug McMillon; United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby; American Airlines CEO Doug Parker; Levi Strauss Company Chairman Chip Bergh; LinkedIN CEO Reid Hoffman; and others.
Former American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault and Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier spoke on the call, among others. Frazier helped organize the 72 current and former black CEOs who blasted the Georgia bill in a joint statement.“

They have decided to draw their customers from only slightly less than half their base.
Might affect profits, but heck, it's their company.

Pick a company a week and boycott it. Play the liberal game. Maybe it won't bring them to their knees but it will sting a little.
I don't want to shut down the economy. I just want stupid CEOs to stay out of politics. It is not good business to accuse half of your customer base of being racists who want to suppress voting rights.

“anti-undemocratic.”
Election rigging is "undemocratic."
Election integrity laws like Georgia’s H.B. 531 are "anti-election rigging".
"Anti-election rigging" is “anti-undemocratic.”
A Yale University management professor doesn't want
Multi-Mega-Corp-Blob to face reprisals for being
"undemocratic."
You Yale parents are paying Yale to produce this.
You taxpayers are paying Yale to produce this.
Unbelievable

Study the rise of Fascism in Germany in 1935 and the parallels to USA today are staggering.
The difference is the Germans had been disarmed.
Americans are armed.

We’re these CEOs elected to some sort of government department? Their shareholders should sack them.

"While some have claimed that Joe Biden won the presidential election due to fraud, the reality is far more complicated. Biden most likely won with the most legal votes, but last-minute election changes and cash infusions from the Center for Tech and Civic Life tilted the playing field in his favor."
No, it's really very simple; President Trump won on election night, but fraud in a few select states stole the presidency for xiden. We all saw it with our own eyes, and we heard the testimony with our own ears.
These CEOs are on the wrong side of the people:
“The gathering was an enthusiastic voluntary statement of defiance against threats of reprisals for exercising their patriotic voices,” Sonnenfeld told CBS News. The corporate leaders “recognize that they need to step up to the plate and are not fearful of these reprisals. They’re showing a disdain for these political attacks. Not only are they fortifying each other, but they see that this spreading disease of voter restrictions from Georgia to up to possibly 46 other states is based on a false premise and its’ anti-democratic.”
Forty-seven out of fifty states (not just Red States) constitutes a majority, yet they want us to believe they're fighting for justice and equality. Leftists have done a good job of making people distrust big business, so you boys have a lot of work to do to convince people you're speaking for them. Good luck with that.
They're being political themselves, yet they blame those who push back against them as political, and they view obeying laws as anti-democratic. The movement shouldn't be to boycott the companies; it should be to demand resignations of the CEOs. They need to go.

Here's their theory. If they make Georgia backdown, they will go after the other states with voter ID. Boycott all the corporations that are interfering in politics. Why should we buy their products when they will stab us in the back. BOYCOTT.

In the long run, it's good that these companies are politically exposing themselves.

Business societal relationship has come under increasing pressure as companies take cultural stands. Therein lies the problem. Business' business, it's ONLY business, is business. Getting involved with the culture wars is not business. Viewing the culture wars, reading the culture wars so as to decide what to produce for your market should the only point of contact with the 'woke' faction. Any 'cultural stand' should be economic suicide.
As the more intelligent folks say ... 'go woke, go broke.'

It is simple - conservatives, no matter how hard we are kicked in the teeth, do not riot. (The Capitol was not a riot.) Liberals do and loot and burn down stores. They figure it is easier to anger the quiet ones than be looted by the feral ones. So moral, so just, so self-serving. Starbucks, soon people won’t have $ for your overpriced coffee so you will lose anyway.

I really wish these CEOs would concentrate on making good products and just shut up about their politics. I don’t care!

Sonnenfeld needs to go back to his employer and tell the university to shut down and donate all of their campus for section 8 housing. He works for an institution which was founded by not just a slave owner, but a slave trader. Shame on him for working for such a racist institution.

Roughly 100 of America’s top corporate leaders and CEOs are the biggest bigots and hypocrites and anti Americans in the country. They run businesses, they don't tell me or you how to vote. If they love voter fraud so much they can move to another country. Got it.

Cut up your credit cards and send the pieces to American Express, don't drink coke, choose Pepsi, don't fly the named airlines, etc. Do drop a note to Yale lefty dirt bag 'professor' and give him a piece of your mind. Amazing, fraud yes, honesty, integrity no. Who would have thought that this is what America should stand for now!!!
