    I've heard a few ads lately for this Investment firm called the Timothy Plan. They essentially screen companies they include in their mutual funds based on biblical princples and traditional family values.

    I have no idea what the funds mix is or how they perform, but it seems like it may be a good alternative option for those looking to stay away from investing in woke companies.

    Letting Tucker go was an epic blunder along the lines of the Bud Light fiasco. You fired the one guy who was giving us straight up what we wanted and how did you think that was going to go? On top of that, we get all these stories about how the network is not exactly "right wing / conservative / Republican" friendly. If you're just another Leftist news network with a pinky toe pointed to the right, I'm not sure that's enough to drive ratings.

    It is sales load structured and the fees are high (1 to nearly 3%), performance in most funds is meh, with some funds considerably underperforming their indices. But if you like their filters, it might be worth it to you.

    I wouldn’t buy a ticket even before purple hair began kneeling!

    Infantino’s claim that women’s soccer is on an equal footing with the men’s game has been undermined by matches where top women’s teams have lost to amateur men and even boys.

    I hope Heine Bros goes the same route in Southern Indiana/Louisville area. They are in legal dispute with their workers now. They played the whole hipster socialist union façade. When their workers tried to arbitrate more more pay post-pandemic, the management just dissolved the union...apparently there was no union, it was all run by management.
    I’m not a Trumper per se. But I always wanted to walk into a Heine Bros wearing a maga hat.

    Dan celia was a big supporter of Timothy until he passed away

    Good. The worse it gets, the better. Hopefully this will serve as an example to other companies thinking pushing the woke agenda will work.
    And the icing on the cake is that the workers and sales are not getting the axe, instead it is the dip-s**ts in the “corporate staff working in the company's offices in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and St. Louis.“


    “CNN said the cuts would occur mostly among the company's "corporate staff" and reported that an AB InBev spokesperson characterized the cuts as a move to "simplify and reduce layers within its organization" that would not impact "brewery and warehouse staff, drivers, and field sales" employees.”

    “The layoffs come after Bud Light lost its top-dog status for beer sales in the United States for the first time since 2001 to Modelo. As Townhall reported then, attempts to essentially give Bud Light away failed to turn the tide for Anheuser-Busch, and now more drastic measures have been taken affecting its corporate staff working in the company's offices in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and St. Louis.”

    I’m not gonna celebrate working class people losing their jobs. But I will celebrate the message, that if the company gets political so will the consumers. The factory workers don’t deserve to lose their jobs. The executives that push woke policies do.

    But even the executives are caught between a rock and a hard place. Institutional investors have forced ESG on companies that would rather just stick to providing a product without politics. If they don’t play, those investors punish them. If they don’t play, ESG makes other companies shun them. So I’m not sure how effective the message is.

    I sense this is an empty victory because blackrock and vanguard are still enforcing ESG. You notice that Busch is still supporting woke causes. They tried to woo their customers back by pushing pro-‘Murica advertising, all while endorsing groomers elsewhere. What do we do to remove institutional power that is fueling company wokeness.
