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.

OnePoorGuy.... I forget the thread but you asked me about my assertion that corporate America is ---Liberal.

This is the internet. I can find examples to bolster my argument . You can do the same. There's not a conclusion.

BUT......

Are more corporations offering LGBT support or NRA gun safety courses? Are they more favorable to smokers, or non smokers? Are high level managers listing pronouns?

Mind you if you're saying that the highly educated and qualified people running these corporations are MAGA people from Alabama, hey, I won't argue with you:) I never knew the RedHats are from Harvard and Columbia.

Also just a cursory look. Let's look at "Wall Street" "Big Banks" you know, they "exploit workers, and exploit consumers" and want "profits" - that Wall Street. (2024...was a big year in politics....)

BlackRock - biggest in the club. Led by Woke Larry Fink, Mr Climate Change. (That's not Limbaugh stuff :)

opensecrets.org - Blackrock inc

DNC: $442,000. Republicans Senatorial: $99,000

************

GOLDMAN SACHS -(a favorite of so many, for some fun fun reasons...OccupyWallStreet anybody? )

Repub Congress Committee: $231,000 "Kamala" $219,000. Trump: NOWHERE ON THAT LIST.

****************

BANK OF AMERICA (remember the foreclosure good guys ? )

"Kamala" $609,000. TRUMP: $187,000
******************

EXXON MOBIL (Luscious Fossil Fuels )

"Kamala" - $135,000. TRUMP. $87,000
************

There's a few great Corporations. Wall Street, and Big Energy.

They do well.

Their Club 401K workers do well.

And together, they make sure that the other 80% will eventually....beg for morsels.

Anyhow, like I said this can be a ping pong match BUT.... Big Corporations favoring "Kamala" over Donald....is sort of, not the normal way of thinking is it.

Would be like NRA and Jerry Falwell giving more to Kamala and less to Trump.

Oh wait, I'm sorry. "Kamala". I forgot the quotes.

(Non White women with ethnic sounding names...get called by first names by paternalistic White Liberals.....)

Just ask "Kamala" vs Trump. Ask "Ketanji" - vs Roberts or Alito.....

;)
