Sonia Sotomayor and the Billionaire
IN LATE JUNE 2019, right after the U.S. Supreme Court released its final opinion of the term, Justice Sonia Sotomayor boarded a large private jet headed to Indonesia. She and her husband were going on vacation: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.
If Sotomayor had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for her, that wasn’t necessary: She was on vacation with real estate magnate and Democratic megadonor George Soros, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too.
If the names were changed I think this story might has caused a bit of a stir on Fox News.
We have a serious free-rider problem.
What Is the Free Rider Problem?
The free rider problem is the burden on a shared resource that is created by its use or overuse by people who aren’t paying their fair share for it or aren’t paying anything at all.
Psst… companies don’t care about being “woke.” They care about making money.

It’s beyond their comprehension that corporations have found that inclusivity is profitable and that nothing more nefarious than that is happening.Matt Walsh

The Left has taken away all of the neutral cultural ground. This is why brands like Bud Light and Nike are giving endorsement deals to a dude in a dress. In the past, a beer company could basically be culturally neutral. But the Left has declared that you are either with them or against them. The “silence is violence” principle. So the brands have a choice. They can be baptized into wokeism and openly worship at the LGBT altar, or they can by default align themselves with conservatives. What do they do? Well, the Left will do everything in their power (and they have a lot of power) to make them pay dearly for disloyalty. Piss off the Right, on the other hand, and you’ll have to deal with some angry tweets and then nothing else will happen. It’s an easy choice.
One of the few conservatives I can actually talk to asked me why every couple on ever commercial had to be “same sex” or mixed-race?
There is only one reason. They think “same sex” or mixed-race commercials will make them more money.
