GET WOKE, GO BROKE: The Critical Drinker on Disney — An Empire In Collapse (Video).

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Get Woke, Go Broke: How Higher Ed’s Push for “Equity” is Backfiring, Hard. “Far be it from me to criticize hiring people based on their ability to do the job instead of the polish of their résumés, but this is a huge departure from the past, and it spells bad news for the people who’ve been selling the polish. If employees are no longer hired based on credentials, the market for credentials is going to head south.”

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Comic Book Fans Shun Superheroes’ Woke Makeovers. “A new Batman is black. There’s a new Spider-Man-like character, except she’s a lesbian who uses a wheelchair. Iron Man is now a black teenage girl. Really.”

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Invisible Hand or Iron Fist? The RealClearInvestigations guide to politicized capitalism identifies the chief perpetrators (Michael Bloomberg, Larry Fink, climate pressure groups, the Business Roundtable) and the leaders of the resistance to it.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: As G4TV Slides Towards Bankruptcy, They Finally Fire “Frosk.”

Obviously they were going in a different direction from Olivia Munn.

Frosk is a loud, obnoxious SJW feminist without an ounce of humor in her. She is full of hatred and rants. She also sometimes works for China and defends China.

G4 didn’t get a lot of watches on YouTube despite the high budget and its promotion and brand name. And Frosk started to get criticized because despite having very dogmatic and firm opinions about everything — like every leftwing feminist fatmouth — she was a leftist SJW, by which I mean, she did not know what in the hell she was talking about.

And I don’t mean about politics. I mean she would make dogmatic pronouncements about basic things about games and game systems and get them completely wrong. You know, her supposed field of expertie.

People would comment that she got them wrong, and she’d get angry.

That spurred her to go on this tirade against G4’s viewers — and remember, they didn’t have all that many viewers. She only briefly mentioned that bit about her getting a lot of things wrong, and then started insisting that everybody was always telling her how ugly and not-f***able she was, especially compared to the previous female hosts on G4.

I will keep saying: SJWs, if you want to push your unpopular #Woke CRT poison on the public, you need to vote for Trump, or DeSantis. You need a booming Trump or DeSantis economy so that corporations are so flush with cash that they can limp along with the losses you’re incurring them.

In a Biden economy, you get fired. In a Biden economy — in a recession — they can’t afford failure. They demand profits.

I don’t know what it’s going to take before corporations finally turn away from woke propaganda. I don’t know how many millions of dollars they will have to pour gasoline on to and set aflame before they finally realize that everyone hates wokeness.

And I don’t know how quickly I want them to realize it. I don’t watch their horrible content any longer.

But I am extremely entertained watching them lose millions and millions of dollars.

Do you think the marketplace is being irrational in rejecting all of your beautifully elevated woke propaganda?

Well, as Wall Streeters used to say: The market can remain irrational for far longer than you can remain solvent.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Thanks to Woke, World’s 2nd Largest Theater Chain Talks Bankruptcy.

Cineworld is the planet’s second-largest theater chain. Here in the U.S., it’s known as Regal Theaters. And now, due to several factors — one being the woke pandemic — talk of “bankruptcy” is in the air.

Yes, one of those factors is the anti-science China Flu lockdowns. There’s also global and U.S. recession. Add to that the last few months of 2022, which looks pretty barren as far as blockbusters go—which leads me to Hollywood’s woke problem.

First, some background:

To be sure, moviegoers have streamed back into theaters this year to see blockbusters like “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” and ”Jurassic World: Dominion.” …

But this summer’s $3.3 billion in ticket sales is still running nearly 20% behind the summer of 2019, before the pandemic, as of Sunday, according to data firm Comscore. And there don’t seem to be any big hits on the immediate horizon to make those numbers much better.

Cineworld said its admissions levels have recently been below expectations. And with a “limited film slate,” it expects the lower levels to continue until November. That would mean an additional crunch to its finances.

So, we have two issues to explore here. The first is a post-pandemic 2022 box office running 20 percent behind the pre-pandemic box office. The second is a lack of blockbusters between now and November.

Well, why?

Why is that?

Why is 2022 running 20 percent behind 2019?

No wonder “David Zaslav, the CEO of the merged Warner Discovery, is swinging his Mighty Ax.”

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: High ESG Scores Foreshadow Economic Decline. “Undoubtedly, Sri Lanka’s dalliance with ESG has been a clarion call to the world. Following its president’s resignation, the South Asian nation is basically on the verge of collapse. . . . Sri Lanka was praised as a model ESG candidate for committing to carbon neutrality by 2050 and halving its nitrogen use. Today, it’s experiencing 54.6% runaway inflation. The aforementioned Ghana, the Netherlands, and Sri Lanka case studies prove ESG policies have ruinous effects on political stability, economic growth, and inflation rates. And these won’t be the last countries with high scores to experience turmoil.”
