Corporations Respond to North Carolina Law / Why are Corporations so Leftist?
04-02-2016, 11:00 PM
Two things that explain why corporations appear leftist:
(1) It's good advertising. Why not try to appeal to the degenerate portion of the market? It's not like most of these guys have retail stores where Joe Cuckservative might ever have to mingle with the pink-haired carpetlicker set, so it's not like they're actually risking their normal hetero market.
(2) When you reduce the incorporation of lefty policies down to numbers, for the most part it's (a) not enacted in practice or (b) is simply passed on to their customers by an increased price.
One thing that stuck with me in an industry article about "fair trade" coffee I read once: the article concluded (in a somewhat surprised but cold tone) that consumers are willing pay a higher price to assuage their own conscience. See, fair trade coffee ain't that fair when you track it back. Even doubling the price of the coffee is not going to allow BundaBunda the bean farmer to live in a mansion, mainly because BundaBunda the bean farmer generally cannot count to twenty-one and has never been educated to understand compound interest even if he did.
And at the end of the day, a corporation just passes the increased cost of its policies on to its consumers. Their profit slice does not decrease one iota; the guy who pays for the leftist policies is you -- if you frequent these businesses, as they know you would. In many of these cases the company has a massive market share already so can charge you an extra few dimes to allow buttfucker handicaps in its HR Department. Alternatively, the company isn't really bothered about its cheaper competitors, mainly because the sort of idiot who's willing to pay twice or even half as much more for a fucking coffee just so BundaBunda the bean farmer can afford two cows instead of one isn't the sort of idiot who shops with the cheapest price in mind.
The only way you hold a business, or a capitalist, to account is to relentlessly look for the lowest price that provides the same value. A person interested or willing to support these businesses because of their lefty policies is, by definition, not someone who is shopping for the lowest price, so they know they can gouge them.
