Next you're going to ask for jarts.

Oh my lord that was a good time. Then they took them away… now my brothers and I just have to shoot an arrow up in the sky

Not illegal to own or build, but toy companies just cannot sell them as a kids game and most online marketplaces will not allow them to be sold for liability reasons.

Can we go back to drinking from the hose outside and actually playing war outside

When couldn’t we do those things?

The Chinese are making successful video game and the woke western companies are losing their shirt.

Woke Video Games Are Massive Commercial Failures

The failures of 'Concord' and 'Dustborn' offer game developers a stark lesson: Nobody wants to buy these over-the-top woke disasters.

Robby strikes again.

“So far you’ve helped me change corporate policy at Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Polaris, Indian Motorcycle, Lowe’s, Ford and now Coors. We are a force to be reckoned with and we won’t stop until wokeness is extinct.”

Again just words with no substance unless it includes resignations of the top 2/3rds of management.

This is just not true? Why do you say it? Do you have any proof the companies are not doing what they said? Most of this crap is learned from corporate filings and it will be clear if they do not follow through.

What proof do you have that the internal culture is changing because of the announcements by these corporations? What proof do you have that they are confronting those that resist the move away from DEI and positive steps have been taken to deal specifically with any resistance by employees?

 

[Shadow01]

Words on a press release doesn’t change culture. Most of these companies implemented “training to bring employees in line with the DEI desires. Where are the training classes to remove the DEI specific training from these employees and proof of that this new training deprogrammed said employees?

Because they publicly announced the changes to both the stock markets and employees. These are publicly traded companies and announcements like this that are not followed through on can really hurt the valuations as investors know they cannot trust them. This is a BFD!!!

 

[Shadow01]

So we just need to believe them? Like the management team had a soul searching change that reversed their core beliefs and they are no longer hard core progressives? Gotcha.

That makes no sense. Have you ever seen the training you are talking about? It is stupid, but you don't have to have anything removed. It isn't like they stuck a chip in their employees heads.

 

[Shadow01]

When can we expect the public announcement of the reprogramming training from these corporations? With the effort put forth to announce their transformation into a DEI juggernaut, I would expect no less effort to announce their transition back the other way. Anything less shows this move is less important than the original.

Apparently you know nothing of the markets and corporations and that they do not put out statements to appease reporters/media willy nilly and then do something different. Some have been losing so long they cannot see a win when it happens…

It was important enough to train, it should be important enough to un train. This is about how serious they are or whether this is just word salad to get them past the news cycle.

Nice personal attack. Seems to be your MO.

Again, untrain how? The important part seems to be the giving of money to certain groups and events. That is very public and easily checked. A lot of the training is actually state mandated in certain states. I have to sit through a couple of hours of the nonsense for my company because I am an employee of the corporate office in Chicago. I don't have to be untrained to ignore the nonsense.
