The other day we told you about the Hims CEO, who not only posting something wildly anti-Semitic, about the 'genocide' of the Palestinian people.
Guess what? Advertising you'll hire anti-Semites under the guise of 'courage' does not do your stock portfolio any favors.
Deebs (@DeebsFLA) ~ WELL, WELL, WELL ...
To quote Dave Chappelle: 'You hate to see it, but more than that, you love to see it.'
Prof B 4Ever (@BProfB) ~ I think it can go lower. Do you think it can go lower? I think it can go lower.
We do too.
tree hugging s*ster (@WelbornBeege) ~ There's a parable in there, somewhere, isn't there? If not a performance metric.
Yes, there is.
McLovin (@McLovin6Actual) ~ Don’t be a drama queen. Ten percent drop is NOT bankrupting a company.
Come talk to me after a fifty percent drop.
Deebs (@DeebsFLA) ~ Keep watching.
Yep. This is just the beginning.
BostonWriter (@bostonwriter) ~ Maybe if they add the pronoun "theirs" to their company name they'll be able to tap into that lucrative pro-Hamas crowd. Intersectionality is all the rage these days.
CenTex Lake Rat (@CenTexLakeRat) ~ Wow. He figured out how to lose money facilitating medications that help men have more sex. That’s the kind of stupid that exists only in legend.
It really is a special talent.
IndividualWrites (@IndiWrite) ~ Do you suffer from stocktile dysfunction? Try a new CEO.
We chuckled.
Melanie (@MrsMcCune) ~
Fringe Female (@mermaidgirl10) ~ Some people are incapable of reading the room.
They're so convinced of their moral superiority and 'their personal truth' that they can't. But this is truth: there is no genocide.
And you do not want to hire people who throw tantrums. Bad for business. Because eventually they'll turn on you and your company.
Eli Krebs (@TheRantEli) ~ Why take any political stance when you own a business ... it's not gonna work out for you.
Companies always do this: they cater to the fringe on some political or social issue, and alienate the majority of their customer base. We saw it with Bud Light, Doritos, and many others.
Then the stock tanks, investors lose money, and no lessons are learned. Another company does the same thing, with the same outcome.
Remind us: what's the definition of insanity again?
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
