"I think there's a certain Cancel Culture on the Right just like theirs a Cancel Culture on the Left, that can make quite stupid decisions." - Joe Lonsdale

On CNBC talking about Texas and Florida making policy reacting to bank's ESG policies which the states think have gone too far in that, and about DeSantis' limiting Disney, while these things cost the tax base (higher rates for banks) (counter-argument is that Disney shouldn't have had that relationship to start with for the past 50 years, and DeSantis said the reason he did it was that parents weren't allowed to have a say in what they were learning in schools).

Business and politics and staying separate. "If you're not on my side you're my enemy," Becky noted.

Although right now the Right is on the weaker side of Cancel Culturing, so their actions in this vein are perhaps more welcomed by some people.

Liz Shoker commented on DeSantis, saying he was trying to tap into some base, not defining what is Woke or presenting concrete policies, but using it generally and 'going after soundbites' and 'shifting' the meaning of that word to 'be convenient to what he's saying at the moment.' 'Trying to get people though emotion ... us versus them.' She said he was taking a 'fringe approach.' May alienate Centrists.

40% of US whites now feel they face some discrimination, according to a recent poll.

DeSantis hasn't announced a candidacy for Pres, but many expect it.

I don't think we could name a more exciting candidate. Will Dimon or Cuban run?
