It’s Pride Month! While some corporations like Target are hiding their pride for the sake of loud conservatives, others are doing everything they can to virtue signal to consumers. Jon Stewart rips off the mask of corporate “values” and examines how corporations will perform caring about issues like DEI, climate change, or patriotism, as long as it means bigger profits, and how quickly they backtrack on those moral stands when it no longer suits their bottom line. #DailyShow #Pride #Diversity #Target

It costs more money to appear biggeted than it does to throw up a few pride flags.

It's also just how absurb the LGBTQRSUTUV2SA+ movement has become in itself these last few years. For starts, adding all these ridiculous extra words to the abbreviation.. secondly a really bizarre focus on wanting children involved with drag queens. And "progressives" defending to death the efficacy of prescribing puberty blockers to children effectively sterilizing them for life. And then of course the pure fantasy that there are an infinite number of genders and neogenders. It's no longer about marriage equality like it was 10 years ago. It's about being as loud and in your face about it as possible. Grown men dancing in diapers in public at pride parades.. grown men in leather gimp outfits with dog masks on being led around by leashes.. Actual articles on the Washington Post entitled - "Yes kinks belong at PRIDE and YES I WANT my kids to see it". Look up the article yourself. They have literally become what Fox news used to fear monger about.

I don't think that's how it works. I'm pretty sure the corporation would have to declare your "donation" as income, and then take a deduction of that same amount when they "donate" that money on your behalf. It would end up being a net zero benefit to their bottom line. I still think it's wrong for them to get PR credit for passing along their customer's donations, though.

And we've enshrined greed in our corporations as their main driving principle. This is all a consequence of shares existing. Or maybe even a few steps more back and it is all a consequence of the idea that you can own abstract concepts like businesses. Ownership should be defined by use. If you use it, you own it. So you can't own two stores at the same time, because you can't work in two stores at the same time. You need to hire at least one other person, and in that case each of you owns two half stores if you regularly switch, or each of you owns one of the stores. Anything else leads to corporations driven by greed.

We all knew it was a myth. I'm glad he went after both sides. Back in the 90's they'd pretend to be all patriotic and care about the American worker. Even then we knew it was BS. Now it's just a different type of BS. I just want corporations to advertise their product and try to say how it's better than the competitors.

I disagree; I think they care very much, if it's a political issue (climate change, corporate tax rates, etc.) that affects their bottom line. But they don't care about social issues unless they see money to be gained from it.

Not only do they donate that money in their name, they file the tax donation as a write-off and get most of that money back. I've been corrected, they don't get most of it back, only a portion.
@XxThunderflamexX
@XxThunderflamexX Ай бұрын
That's actually a myth, they're not allowed to write off money other people donated. What they do get is interest accrued from holding the money temporarily
@user-rs2es1of6d
@user-rs2es1of6d Ай бұрын
The tax write offs are limited - basically it means the companies don't pay tax on the amount of money that they earned and donated. So the donation is still real even if they get a break for 21% of it (US Fed corporate tax rate)

Don’t donate to stores for a cause. They take your money, then donate it in their name for huge tax breaks. It helps them not pay taxes. Donate your money directly to organizations and claim it on your own taxes. 😊
