Want To Avoid Woke Products? There’s an App for That.
2023-04-19
[PJMedia] t’s hard to be a conservative these days. And I’m not talking about trying to survive the latest policies, laws, orders, and decrees of the Biden administration or your local school board or the depredations of rioters or protestors. I’m talking about boycotts. We love boycotting things, don’t we? And with the recent events surrounding Nike, Oil of Olay, and Bud Light, it’s getting hard to keep track of what we aren’t supposed to buy. Fortunately for me, I’ve been boycotting Bud Light for the past 30 years, so beer isn’t an issue for me. (And for the record, neither is Oil of Olay.)

I just have to compete with all of the new arrivals in my state for my favorite IPA. But to that end, there was plenty of Bud Light in the coolers this weekend. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
Utah is not a state known for its aggressive consumption of alcohol, so my local grocery store may not be the best barometer of how the battle is going. Be that as it may, a trip to the supermarket could possibly turn into an aggravating scavenger hunt to find products that don’t lean left. I’m sure there’s a list somewhere, but updating the thing must be a 24-hour job, and I don’t want to hit the "refresh button" every time I need to pick up a loaf of bread and a carton of milk. No one has time for that.

But, even as AI is getting ready to consign all of us to the ash heap of history, technology still offers some benefits to conservatives, and I don’t mean your Parler app. And so, Consumer Research to the rescue! The organization has the perfect app for the conservative on the go who wants to avoid accidentally buying a box of potentially progressive taquitos or something. It will let you know when another company has "gone woke
...the on-going war against good sense...
." Well, technically, it isn’t an app. It’s a service that will send you a message when a company makes the move to improve its ESG rating and tank its sales.

I visited the site where you can sign up to receive "Woke Alerts." By doing so, you will be the first to know when the inevitable happens and your favorite brand, company, or team goes sour. There’s even a "Report" button so you can pass the word should you encounter a woke product, service, or entity in its natural habitat. At first blush, the site lists the usual suspects: Black Rock, Bud Light, Jack Daniels, and Silicon Valley Bank. But if you page down, you will find a variety of articles that could be useful for understanding how the woke mindset works and just how far it has permeated the market.
