NO DISNEY MAGIC HERE, JUST HYPOCRISY
“Disney CEO Bob Chapek was quick to throw around words like ‘respect’ and ‘inclusion’ with shareholders, but he couldn’t explain how two actors on the same show said similar things but were treated substantially differently,” David Almasi commented after the Disney shareholder meeting. “It’s because he can’t.

STARBUCKS LOST A LATTE BUT COVERS UP THE STAIN

BOA MOYNIHAN’S “SHAREHOLDER CAPITALISM” METRICS REVEAL THE RUSE
Brian Moynihan, the CEO of welfare-queen Bank of America (BoA) has established a set of metrics by which, he boasts, investors and the public would be able to gauge, and companies should be required to report, the efficacy of the conversion to stakeholder capitalism.
