IN CASE YOU WONDERED WHAT COMMIE TOOLS ARE SAYING:
ONLY IF THE DEMOCRATS GET THEIR WAY: Roger Simon: Election 2020: Will America Be the New China? “That is why it is no accident you see Democrat proposals on the 2020 campaign trail that could have been taken from Lenin’s playbook.

BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY: Sacrificing Too Much For Diversity. “Mr Harvey said he was frustrated by super fund executives and their boards, so-called corporate governance experts and fellow travellers in the social corporate responsibility industry who were pressuring him to change his business practices, saying if he followed their guidelines Harvey Norman would ‘go backwards’. Rival retailers such as Myer and David Jones had slavishly adhered to the corporate governance orders laid down by these groups, he said, but their businesses were now paying the price, with his own Harvey Norman ‘beating the shit out of them’. . . . Last year businessman and company director Chris Corrigan unleashed his own withering attack on the corporate governance industry and its push for gender targets for women on public company boards, accusing advocates who foisted gender equality on companies of bullying.”
