the author has missed the point in ep 4

Generally speaking I really like this author's delivery and message. she has a lot of good insights. she has however missed the point on De Santis' actions in ep 4 in relation to Disney and it makes me doubt the robustness of her knowledge of the woke industrial complex and wokenomics. notwithstanding, there are plenty of valuable insights in the other episodes of the podcast.

De Santis was justified in revoking Disney's privileges on Florida because Disney had no business whatsoever in butting in on a topic (transgenderism in schools) that is so far removed from their own operations. Disney's ceo only did this because he knew that his woke overlords at blackrock, state street etc. have power over his tenure and salary. Obviously there is a woke employee base to consider but it demonstrates a lack of leadership and integrity on the part of that ceo. The CEO was a mouthpiece for woke fund managers and it is therefore not truly free speech, because it isn't his own and was effectively forced. listed companies are increasingly being compelled to foist this woke ideology on society with the weight of their $ behind them. That is not the same as free speech because it means those with $ and a larger platform will easily crowd out those with few $ and a limited platform. That isn't true democracy, especially when these companies are not preaching their own msg, but rather Larry Fink's.

I would recommend that the author reads "the dictatorship of woke capital" and "woke inc" to put De santis's actions into appropriate context.
