#VoiceYourOpinion Do you expect Corporations to speak out on war and other social political issues?
Following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, business leaders all pledged to fight for racial equality, and nearly all of the S and P 500 companies issued some sort of formal statement on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Now, last year, companies like Target and Bud Light fell into controversy, and there were signs that the American public has become less interested in hearing from corporations on social political issues
Hey, you bring up a really good question, especially at times like this where there's a lot of conflict happening in the world, a lot of stuff's happening. I think it's just my personal opinion that I feel like companies should be free to give off their opinion on things and what they stand for
It's not about Israel or Ramos. It is about human beings. It's so unfortunate what's happening with the war right now with the children and everything. But when it comes to branding and marketing, I feel these brands should say something. I personally feel because as a brand, it seems to me that there's a lot of fear with losing credibility, with losing probably customers. It boils down to money, basically

It's sad for the Israelis, and it's sad for the Palestinians. I suspect that the vast majority of people that have died there really had no part in the root causes that led up to this terrible situation there. It's sort of like when police in America do bad things to my neighbors of color, and then everybody kind of, no, no, you cannot. The thin blue line
