Companies want to be woke and stupid. No more.

Just told my financial advisor today.

You celebrate Juneteenth? Why not St. Patrick's Day? I'm 25% Irish. Celebrate me and my ancestors.

Voted against continuing the DEI program at Apple.

No more of this bullshit and no more liberal nonsense.

Well - it’s pretty normal for brokers to close on days the financial markets aren’t open.

What are they supposed to be doing coming into work on a day no trades are made ?

Likewise - market is open here in the US on St. Patrick’s - so no company is going to close down when business is being conducted by other competitors.

Want to celebrate your heritage - great - visit the motherland and take it in. It’s a wonderful day to visit I hear - but keep in mind Saint Patrick was a Brit by birth.

As to voting against DEI at Apple - as a shareholder your entitled to your vote - but keep in mind that liberal bullshit advertising it what allowed them to sell 3k computers when there were similarly spec’s windows machines available for $500.

People want to be “part of something” even if it’s a massive hype campaign. Nike/Starbucks/Apple - it’s all about the marketing.

Apple does what’s best for the bottom line. If the best person to lead the company happens to be gay - great - let’s hype that. Our legal team is all a bunch of old white guys - let’s just keep them behind the scenes and trot out some black lesbian junior associate when someone needs to speak on our behalf from legal so people still think we care.

It’s a matter of solidarity and some bean counter seeing an opportunity to gain market share. Otherwise explain to me why financial markets “celebrate” Labor Day - a holiday that honors the American worker and their unions - despite the fact the markets are generally anti union.

Yeah, he won’t go anywhere more than 1 mile from his compound.
And you blame whitey for your community's problems. DEI is over. Hiring under qualified minorities is over. Affirmative action with regards to college admissions is done. We have a Supreme Court Justice who refused to explain what a woman is. Another Biden DEI hire. Democrats got their asses kicked. The majority of Americans don't think or act like you. Deal with it or move to Canada.

It must be make up shit day for this deranged idiot.

And close the account!? I thought they already automatically close accounts that have less than $100 and no activity for over a year.

:lmao:
