How do you rise to this level in business while making these decisions?
Mere weeks after going public with stern words about the new election law in Georgia, Coca-Cola has become far more muted in its corporate bellowing. Now, we know why. A new poll has come out to show more than pushback from select citizens has taken place; there is widespread rejection of the company’s bold pronouncement, becoming just the latest in a growing list of companies who have suffered self-imposed, negative PR.
It has been nothing less than a consistent failure with all of the various business entities which rose up in protest of the Georgia election law.
Repeat after me "Never too big to fail" Be woke, go broke.

First tell white people they are not welcome to drink your product.
Then go woke about an election law you clearly have not read or took the time to understand.
Yeah, that is a great 1-2 punch for losing lots of customers. I know my husband I haven't had a Coke product in weeks, and don't plan to ever go back.

As long as their market share in China keeps going up, they don't care and can afford to lose US market share. 1.4 billion speaks much louder than 330 million.
There's power in numbers. "Quantity has its own level of quality". J Stalin.

We always kept plenty of Coke Zero on hand. I now drink iced tea that I make in the sun.

Since Mr. Quincey, the CEO of Coke, is not even an American citizen it is particularly galling to hear him pop off on things that are none of his business. It is made worse by the fact that his native country brought slavery to this country and we have been trying to undo the damage for 250 years, at great cost to ourselves. If our voting laws aren’t to his liking perhaps he would like to expound on human freedom in his new crush, China. The phony. Signed, a lifelong coke enthusiast who now finds tap water just the thing.

Why would anyone support the America-hating treasonous workforce of Coka-Cola? Why take on the workforce? If they had any affection for this country, they wouldn't work for Coke!

You see it a lot, people who are smart in one area often think they are smart in all areas. To avoid looking stupid, they need to stay in their own lane.

Those 33% less likely blacks are the ones who are smart enough to get what an insult it is to all blacks when the left insinuates that they aren’t smart enough or capable enough to get an ID. Question for the left - are blacks not able to get a covid vaccine because they aren’t smart enough to get an ID? Are they allowed to get the vaccine without ID?
These woke companies may believe that they can just walk back their idiocy and all will be forgiven. Ask the NFL how that is working out. Good luck getting the woke paste back in the tube. Elephants never forget.

Wait until a CCP spy finally steals the Coca Cola secret formula! Or maybe they'll just reverse engineer it at the Wuhan Death Factory. Then, overnight, Coke will be banned from China...and they'll all be drinking ChiCom Cola.

Necessities of life do not include Coca Cola products, Delta airlines and Will Smith movies. Green tea is better for you. Southwest is fine (so far). I haven't been to a movie in ages. Books are better. Companies making nonessential products or providing nonessential services really should keep their mouths SHUT!

If most stores in the country look like my local Wally World, Coke is hurting. Their shelf space is stocked full of the stuff and it's not moving. The woke moron basically said that his corporation supports crooked and stolen elections. I don't know who he was trying to impress but he picked the wrong horse.

Leaders at Coke and other corporations have to decide which is more important: to please their customers or to appease the rich Fascists and Marxists (Democrats) with whom they socialize and who write the rules that control their businesses, all while living in fear of boycotts and shakedowns from BLM wokesters. Wealthy cowards that they are, they generally take the path of appeasement.

I don't drink soft drinks. Even as a kid I didn't like them I grew up on Kool-Aid packet flavors and Root beer extract or tea. My wife was buying Coke Zero but has since gone back to her Dr. Pepper. If I did drink a soft drink it would be Pepsi and Rum probably. Mr. Quincey CEO became woke when he should have shut up about something he knew nothing about he became woke now go broke you idiot.

I'll bet nearly every one of those large, publicly traded companies, have internal company ID badges they need to scan to enter a building, or to "check-in and check-out".
I'll bet they require an ID to do all sorts of things.
Wonder if any would allow for 2020 election rules for their Board elections, or any other approvals needed by shareholders?
In other words, drop boxes without any chain of custody, no ID to show you are an eligible shareholder with the right to vote, or able have the count go on for 10 days after the election deadline.
