You are ascribing God like powers to these people.  Just like you don't know the future, neither do they.
If these policies fail to deliver prosperity for the common man, the common man won't vote for them.  If they fail to deliver value to shareholders, the shareholders will divest and seek value elsewhere.

Do you try to be this dense? We were literally just having a conversation about utopianism at the root of many of the American ills. You said there is none. I showed there is. Can you not see that democrats fall lock step in line with this ideology? I do not ascribe godlike powers to these people. I ascribe the powers that powerful men have always held except for when the masses prevent them from holding it. Oh, btw, no one is voting for corporate policies, but these people are the ones funding our politicians. So your plan is for us just not to vote for them? Third party, eh? Lol. What a joke of a thinker you can be sometimes, bro.

DEI and ESG are not utopian ideas.  They are both ideas of incremental improvement.
Corporations are subject to competition from other corporations.
Third party votes are almost meaningless in our current voting system, which is why I spend so much energy trying to convince people to change it.  Remember that? How much I advocate for ranked choice voting, approval voting, and top two primaries?
