It does seem like they've confused Hollywood with Wall Street. I mean, had the founders ever met a WS trader, for example? Okay, maybe not, plenty of people haven't. But there are magazines targeted to traders (I used to subscribe to one), someone could go read one of those. Not a lot of herbal bath bombs being advertised (or whatever the conservative fantasy would be of a "liberal" advertisement). Nope, fast cars, expensive liquor, and other items of the hedonistic lifestyle. I don't know which bucket "hedonism" falls into, but I doubt it's "woke".
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree on what the founders were thinking, but I'm still stumped on how they consider Wall Street to be liberal, and why their offered alternative had better features because "not woke".
- chomp 4y agoNah, read about Glorifi and their position in relation to ESG. The powers that be got very upset when they perceived funds' ESG rules to be pressuring companies to make what they saw as "woke" changes to the structure and governance of companies. Just another group of culture warriors biting the dust.
- mikestew 4y agoThanks, your comment gave me the TLA to go look for. Doesn’t make it look any better for Glorifi, but I now have a little better understanding of what they mean.
- brazzy 4y agoI'm fairly sure the entire point was to market to the segement of the population that pins their identity on hating "wokeness", "liberals" and "the east coast elites", and doesn't do much intellectual examinations of those sentiments.
