I wrote this and I'm looking for feedback:
"Dr. Seuss estate doesn't care about your feelings.
Disney doesn't care about your feelings.
Hasbro doesn't care about your feelings.
Rockstar Games doesn't care about your feelings.
Warner Bros doesn't care about your feelings.
Record labels don't care about your feelings.
None of the companies I mentioned have ever been socially conscious. None of the companies supposedly perpetuating "cancel culture" can truly be considered "woke."
What they all care about is money and their perceived image. And the more money we give them, the better they feel. If they look generally better in the public eye, then awesome for them.
For Warner, if it means slapping a "that was then, this is now and we learned better" warning on old Looney Tunes, so be it.
For Rockstar Games, if it means adding more violence to GTA, so be it.
For Disney, if it means killing off Cara Dune, so be it.
For record labels, if it means leaving "if you got beef then bring the ruckus, Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to F with" in a song, so be it.
The list goes on."

There are very few companies who care about much other than maximizing profits. Often times that means setting up charitable arms of their companies, either running a fund or donating to specific non-profit orgs to give themselves a better public appearance. When it comes to their content, that will entirely depend upon to which market they play. Anybody who thinks otherwise is delusional."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

Frankly, legally, they probably could serve the others' and justify doing so. The problem is the shareholders have the money to take them to court to fight business decisions to the contrary, so officers will still bow down to them out of self-preservation. The risk-reward simply isn't worth it to try anything else.

It would seem that I will have to file an amended tax return due to the unemployment waiver. Not a super big deal and worth it since it should wipe out what I owe the state and add money to my return.

This is a better form of capitalism, but it requires smaller privately held companies for us to support rather than the large public companies.
