The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Corporate America - is Liberal.

They just use dumb Republicans is all.


First time I've heard that assertion. Can you expand? My former company was in the S&P, and our CEO was extremely conservative. I don't know for a fact how he voted, but I would wager it was Rep all the way. After 9/11 he really went extreme, and had us saying the Pledge before every communications meeting (which we had every quarter), including the "under god" bit, which was deemed unconstitutional at the time. Great CEO, honestly, but way too conservative for my taste. I stopped going to the comm meetings, and would get the highlights from coworkers who went.

Some CEOs seem to be liberal, but the vast majority of them don't seem to be based on their public behavior. Money first, people second (or fifth or sixth...).
