Great stuff again BB, thanks so much for trudging through the level of detail that might well hospitalise me if I had to. Isn't it interesting that at the deepest level there is a certain honesty that is inevitable amongst such ego floundering: "Woke" is not "AWAKE". I hope you do find some fun in the inevitable downfall of Woke - if anything, for me, it is like watching a toddler rebellion implode in frustrated tears and stamping feet. I kind of want to comfort them - and to burst out laughing in their faces, all at the same time. Real world consequences though - I get it.... Still giggling though.
As far as woke entertainment, our TV’s have been turned off for two years. I used to binge series on HBO and Netflix. Now, awake to the programming occurring, I can’t watch anything. The non-stop pharmaceutical commercials and fake news, brutal and over sexualized shows, it’s just better to leave your head (and heart) free of the clutter. Instead I read sub-stacks and alternative news articles and the Bible. Your article is interesting, we are sure to see an about face in the next few years, your article will be a worthy snapshot of the times. Let’s hope and pray the word “offended” is forever buried and forgotten. I believe this word alone gave birth to this woke mentality.
Up until about six weeks ago, I worked in a VC backed firm. Company was due for next round of funding but that is not going to happen any time soon so they did a big layoff of which I got caught up. During all of this I managed to break my foot. When I first saw the doctor, I was still employed but was not at the follow up. He was surprised when I told him and he asked me what I thought. I said I don't think investment entities are putting their money into any company that doesn't have positive cash on the balance sheet, regardless of how great the concept. He was quiet for a bit and then responded that his brother who works for a hedge fund told him exactly the same thing and that they were pulling out of a lot of places, to include former so-called unicorns like Uber. The HR and Marketing Areas may be spinning one story, but it is not reflected in reality.
Sorry to hear about your circumstances, but this definitely jives with suspicions that a lot of the "biggest" companies out there are about to come tumbling down due to a complete lack of fundamentals.
Haven’t subscribed to Netflix in over a year and half. Would be nice to see some shift in our entertainment. A change in news reporting would also be welcome. Thank God for the web for that!!! Your a delight to read so keep up the good work!
World war woke is everywhere and Americans have aWOKEn and aren't taking it anymore. I was shocked to see Amazon Prime offer The Terminal List....an EXCELLENT watch for those that haven't seen it.
A brilliant man once said "Everything woke turns to sh*t". And he's right about pretty much everything ;)

It's certainly easy to have some schadenfreude regarding the inevitable woke collapse.

What a great article! I’m reminded how the keys to Netflix were handed to the Obama’s and now they have been kicked to the curb
Yup. Certainly relevant.
Thank You again BB🙏✌️
Awesome :)
