| Jack Daniel's maker scraps DEI policies after threat of ‘anti-woke' boycott |
| 2024-08-23 |
| [NY Post] The maker of Jack Daniel’s whisky said it will pull back on its DEI initiatives, buckling to pressure on social media as an "anti-woke" activist said he was preparing to launch a boycott. Spirits giant Brown-Forman Corp. — with a market capitalization of $21.37 billion — is the latest company to scrap its diversity, equity and inclusion program, following Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply and John Deere. Major firms who rely heavily on a red state clientele have been caving to boycott pressure from corporate activist Robby Starbuck, who said Jack Daniel’s was next on the list, but that the company reversed its policies before he got the chance to lead a boycott. |

| #6 Businesses make mistakes, all for the profit, or perceived profit. Now, they corrected their mistake, their capitol cash flow is going to hurt because of bank interest penalties for not being DEI compliant. We should now show support of the companies that are listening.. |

| #3 At least Jack Daniels ain’t moving to Mexico. I predict a lot fewer green tractors in the future being bought here. |

| #1 For me. Any company playing the latest 💩 Social Protest game is no better than the 💩 itself. Since they are willing to accept any pile of 💩 tossed at them to sell their product or services. |
