       Interesting paper on the value of political affiliation of company executives and how companies are becoming increasingly partisan. Firms that homogenize political alignment destroy value suggesting there is a benefit to a diversity of political opinions in a company  Part of this is being driven by the increasing number of Republicans and higher assortative selection in executive positions at top firms since 2008

       @sunspot Are an increasing number of executives really Republicans?  What are the numbers?  Why do we always hear about “woke capital” then?

       @Columbkille @Columbkille > Of the roughly 4,000 executives the researchers studied, 69% were Republican and 31% were Democrat. To make their workers happy. To track with public sentiment. Because it's trendy. Because conservatives don't necessarily believe the "personal is political" the way progressives doWhatever the reason, it's not because most C-suites agree with the woke agenda

       @sunspot I have heard it said that it takes a liberal mind to build a new company, especially one with new ideas, but a conservative mind to make it profitable and sustainable.  This rings fairly true.@Columbkille

       @sunspot Very interesting, I did not know that but you are right.  It makes me both relieved (left is less dominant than I thought, just more vocal) but also a bit cynical.  Plenty of workers & customers don't like this woke marketing.  I even know liberals that are sick of it.  So these Republican CEOs are either afraid of their own workers or just don't care as long as they make profit.
