The Woke Capitalism Thread (Get Woke, Go Broke)

Only problem I have with this is why would Boeing get on board and hurt their profits to cooperate with the WEF? The meat I can see because of big ag. Is there some back room deal where they’ll be taken care of as air traffic decreases? This hurts the vanguard and black rock puppet masters.

I agree, and that's why I am curious how all of that will work (if they can even pull off such a dastardly plan for the future). But the catch for me is how all of these issues that are popping up align with Klaus Schwab and his WEF machinations. One thing I've learned is that if the CEO has his golden parachute, it doesn't matter what happens to the corporation as a whole or to anybody for that matter. If he's part of the big club, he is probably set for life. And isn't the Boeing CEO of the alternative lifestyle persuasion? I doubt he has a care for any progeny if that's the case -- so that could be a factor if any of this is part of a plan.

One thing the with planes failing narrative, how do we know this isn't engineered, much like the food distribution plants being destroyed? It seems like this would fall into the WEF narrative to deter flying and reduce carbon footprints by instilling some fear. I believe they want to stop all flying and meat consumption by 2050 if memory serves.

There's a saying to "never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity". However, I think a lot of problems that have gotten so ridiculous in the past few years really are due to malice.

Why would Sports Illustrated put fat women and trannies in their famous swimsuit issues? Why would so many corporations make decisions that will obviously offend and alienate their customers? The (((powers that be))) are making them do things that clearly are profitable, but they seem to be forced to comply.

I don't know if (((they))) have blackmail over all these executives, or they secretly pay off the executives so they run their companies into the ground but come out fine themselves. Some kind of back room dealing is behind this kind of thing.

Who owns Sports Illustrated? Usually brands are owned by some type of big corp. i sometimes wonder if they strategically decide who gets thrown under the bus. Nobody under 50 cares about print media.

I can't remember if someone said it here, but that phenomena of stupidity causing problems is true, but it's a feature not a bug. Those who are stupid (and the systems that are stupid), can be easily manipulated by those with malice. Even better, they manipulate while shielding themselves with said saying.
 
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun Plans To Step Down Following 737 Max Crisis


After a series of aviation mishaps, including the door plug that ripped off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max jet earlier this year and other 737 and 777 incidents in recent weeks, coupled with intensified oversight from federal regulatory bodies, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun is stepping down at the end of the year.
"As you all know, the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident was a watershed moment for Boeing," Calhoun wrote in a letter to employees.

Calhoun continued: "My decision to step down as CEO at the end of this year is one the board has been prepared for and will result in a number of changes at a management and governance level moving forward."

He also noted that the board's chairman, Larry Kellner, will be stepping down at Boeing's annual meeting in May. The board has elected Steve Mollenkopf to succeed Kellner as chair.
In addition to these major leadership changes, Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, will retire from the company, and Stephanie Pope will lead the commercial airplanes segment.
Last week, executives from major airlines spoke with Boeing's board to express frustrations over quality control issues in the manufacturing process.
Calhoun has been on a mea culpa tour, acknowledging his company's quality control issues. He has promised investors, airline customers, and the general public about the struggles and potential changes to the company.
Boeing shares are up 4% in premarket trading in New York on the major shakeup.

Calhoun replaced Dennis Muilenburg in 2019 for mishandling two deadly 737 Max crashes.

Here's Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun's full letter to employees:
Team,
As you all know, the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident was a watershed moment for Boeing. We must continue to respond to this accident with humility and complete transparency. We also must inculcate a total commitment to safety and quality at every level of our company.
The eyes of the world are on us, and I know we will come through this moment a better company, building on all the learnings we accumulated as we worked together to rebuild Boeing over the last number of years.
I want to thank each and every one of you for how you have stepped up to this challenge and for the work now underway to make sure we demonstrate to all stakeholders that the Boeing of the future is everything they should expect it to be. We have been working together for the last five years to address some of the most significant challenges our company and industry have ever faced in our 108-year history. I am confident that the way we have confronted these challenges, and how we are responding to this specific moment, is establishing standards for future generations of employees and will be woven into the fabric of how we operate for decades to come.
It is the future of our company that is the subject of my letter to you today. I have been considering for some time, in discussion with our board of directors, the right time for a CEO transition at Boeing. I want to share with you that I have decided this will be my last year as CEO of our great company, and I have notified the board of that decision.
I originally agreed to take on the role of CEO of Boeing at the board's request, stepping down as board chair in the process, because of the unprecedented circumstances the company was facing at that time. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve in both roles and I will only feel the journey has been properly completed when we finish the job that we need to do. We are going to fix what isn't working, and we are going to get our company back on the track towards recovery and stability.
My decision to step down as CEO at the end of this year is one the board has been prepared for and will result in a number of changes at a management and governance level moving forward. My long-time partner in all things Boeing, our Chair Larry Kellner, has advised the board and me that he does not intend to stand for re-election at our upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The board has elected Steve Mollenkopf to succeed Larry as chair. Steve will lead the board process of selecting my successor as CEO. Larry, too, had been considering the appropriate moment to turn over the reins after more than four years as chair and 13 years on our board, and concluded that the CEO selection process should be led by a chair who will stay at the helm as a partner to the new CEO.
I want to express my deepest personal thanks to Larry for his outstanding leadership over the last number of years, and I know I speak for everyone at the company when I say, nobody could have worked harder or longer hours in dedication to his duties. Perhaps first, among the many legacies of his tenure, is profoundly strengthened governance at our company, including through his recruitment of several superb new board members, and his work with others on the board to establish our independent standing board aerospace safety committee. Larry is a professional in every way and someone to whom Boeing owes a great debt of gratitude.
I also want to thank Steve for his willingness to take on the role as chair. Steve has had a long and extraordinarily successful career with decades of experience as both a CEO of Qualcomm and a board member of several important public companies. Since joining the Boeing board, his contribution has been extremely valuable and his professional background as an engineer will serve him and the company well in this new role. I look forward to working with him for the remainder of this year to ensure a smooth transition.
In addition to these changes, Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and Chief Executive Officer Stan Deal will retire from the company and Stephanie Pope will lead our BCA business, effective today. I want to thank Stan for his many contributions and dedication since first joining our ranks 38 years ago, and for his tireless service as our BCA leader during an uncommonly difficult period for our company and for our industry.
I also want to thank Stephanie for taking on this critical role. With nearly 30 years of experience at Boeing, including her successful tenure leading our global services business, Stephanie knows our company inside and out and has a proven track record of superb leadership, including an innate talent for listening and responding to our people. Stephanie is a third-generation Boeing employee. She is deeply committed to our company, to our employees and to our shared future; and she is the perfect person to take on the leadership of our commercial airplanes business at this moment.
As we begin this period of transition, I want to assure you, we will remain squarely focused on completing the work we have done together to return our company to stability after the extraordinary challenges of the past five years, with safety and quality at the forefront of everything that we do.
Thank you,
Dave

This Stephanie Pope has degrees from no name universities, and has been in upper management at Boeing for a long time. She looks like an affirmative action case to me.

Just what Boeing needs right now.

But courting both seniors and Gen Zers can get complicated. Last year, Cracker Barrel was accused of “going woke” for lining its front porches with rainbow-colored rocking chairs during Pride Month.

Irate customers reacted with a pledge to boycott the 660-store chain.

“Just run your business and stay out of politics!” one commenter posted after Cracker Barrel instagrammed one of the rainbow rocking chairs.

Others accused the brand of “rainbow washing” — or promoting pro-LGBTQ messaging for Pride Month purely as a marketing ploy.

The first two episodes 'The Acolyte' are getting horrible reviews as woke and boring.

It gets worse in Ep 3 next week. Reviewers under NDAs have seen it already.

They say that it is worse than The Last Jedi and will kiII any remaining OG fans. The backlash will be so bad Disney CEO Bog Iger might have to make changes at LucasFilm.
...
The reviewers who saw it can't reveal much, but various hints I have heard there is something about a flashback scene of lesbians using the Force to achieve immaculate conception to produce the black twins who become the main characters in The Acolyte.

The reviewer said it was so stupid he didn't even want to watch Episode 4.

STATEMENT from the Daily Beast Union regarding buyout negotiations​

‘The past few weeks have proven that The Daily Beast Union is stronger and more united than ever.’

05/30/2024

In light of recent developments within The Daily Beast, we have secured a robust buyout plan for our members, which will allow them to decide for themselves if they wish to leave the company on their own terms.

We can confirm that while our new leaders hire for new, non-guild roles, they also plan to cut $1.5 million in unit-member salaries, plus further cuts outside the union. We are proud to have won a respectful offer for unit members who wish to leave voluntarily.

The deal includes generous payouts for members based on seniority tiers. We have also won three months of healthcare continuance as well as accrued vacation payouts. Our payout structure guarantees that no one walks away with less than 8 weeks’ pay, while our highest-tenured employees could walk away with more than three times that amount.

If enough members choose to apply for a buyout to satisfy the company's desired savings, there will be a moratorium on all Guild layoffs until Dec. 31, 2024. Should we exceed $1.5 million, applications will be accepted based on seniority.

We've seen reports that our new management created and proposed this to the union, which is inaccurate. Our Bargaining Committee worked for weeks and met with the membership to develop and negotiate this package. Despite ominous stories we've seen about potential layoffs, the reality is more complex. Because our contract is currently expired, it is our position (along with the NewsGuild of New York) that any layoffs must be negotiated. The Company, recognizing the fight that was to come over potential illegal layoffs, agreed to negotiate with us on a respectful buyout for our members that greatly exceeds our contract's severance terms.

The past few weeks have proven that The Daily Beast Union is stronger and more united than ever. We are proud of what we have achieved, and whatever decision our colleagues make, we are heartened to know that our solidarity has won us the fair terms we deserve. We stand alongside our unionized media colleagues everywhere as we all continue to fight for the fairness and respect we deserve.

A private Chinese Video Game studio is releasing a game based on a classic chinese fantasy. They didn't hire a DEI consultant to produce their game so there has been hit pieces from IGN and Gaming Media however it's having a streisand effect so there is a lot of interest in pre-ordering this game.

 
Another Chinese game Genshin Impact has a woke campaign against it because the game features mainly (only?) white characters. Their response so far has been none whatsoever and their earnings so far have remained sky-high. Seems only the Chinese game studios are ignoring the screaming woke left these days.
