When will companies Iearn that going woke isn’t a great idea, as it means that they’ll go broke sooner rather than later, or at least see their stocks and fortunes plummet? Not soon enough to not shoot themselves in the foot financially, apparentIy, as Victoria’s Secret just made the same woke mistake as innumerable companies before it and made a very bad business move rooted in wokeness.
What did it do? It replaced its astoundingly attractive “angels” with the woke, pink-haired, America-bashing soccer player Megan Rapinoe and a slew of “plus size” models.
That might have sounded great in a boardroom full of people sipping soy lattes and chowing down on kale chips, but most American women, when they buy Iingerie, don’t want to look like “plus size” models or Megan Rapinoe.
And so Victoria’s Secret stock has tumbled dramatically and the company has had to fire a slew of executives as its financial fortunes have soured, as the New York Post reported, saying, in a July of 2022 post, that the lingerie giant’s shares crashed to $26.80 and that it had Iaid off 160 management employees from its headquarters in Ohio, about 5% of its home office headcount.
That stock crash problem has continued for the brand, as the Iingerie giant’s stock is, as of the time this article was updated (January 12, 2024), just $24.23. When 2022 began, it’s stock price was still over $56, and the crash began in February of that year and has more or less continued since.
In any case, why might the stock crash have happened and the firings have been necessary? Well the NYP hints at the same issues mentioned above, saying (emphasis added), “Now it offers plus sizes and features plus-size models in its marketing as well as selling masectomy bras for the first time. It also Iaunched its first-ever Mother’s Day campaign last year.
Its stores are brighter and it’s championing more causes highlighting women’s achievements, tapping famous athletes Iike Megan Rapinoe and actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas to represent the brand.
WНЕN ТНЕ VЕТЕRINАRIАN SЕЕS ТНЕ ULТRАSОUND, НЕ САLLS ТНЕ РОLIСЕ: WНY?
When farmer Ben saw that his mare was pregnant, he was filled with joy. This meant he would have another horse,which could lead to greater financial wealth if it turned out to be a good horse. After waiting for months, the moment was almost here.
The belly was swollen, and the mare showed signs of being about to give birth. But strangely, she refused to deliver even with a huge belly. Ben decided to go to the local vet to get an ultrasound.
When the vet saw the ultrasound, he immediately called the police. But what was wrong with the mare? And what had Ben done wrong? Let’s uncover this curious case.
As the police also lived in this small town, any action was considered good action. There really wasn’t much to do here; everyone knew each other, and crime was quite low.
In fact, the local police department had practically nothing to do during the day, as there wasn’t much law enforcement to handle, so it was as exciting as any other case.
When the police finally arrived, they helped the vet calm the almost lifeless giant horse. But the police not only assisted the vet; they also came to talk to Ben. “Sir, we need you to come with us, it’s important.”
Ben was in sh.ock. He had only asked the vet to come and help his mare give birth. What had he done wrong? Horse births should be a fairly straightforward process.
Horses often give birth without assistance, and foals usually come out of their mothers already knowing how to walk and gallop despite being born just minutes earlier. Truly, horses are one of the easiest animals to assist in giving birth, and Ben knew it.
Ben answered questions about himself and the mare he had owned since his youth. When he answered all the questions, he heard disbelief coming from the operating room. “I can’t believe it!” said the vet.
But what had the vet found inside the horse that surprised him so much? What left them stunned?
The average conception rate (with artificial insemination) is around 60%, indicating that getting 90% of mares pregnant generally takes two or three cycles.
You’ve already doubled or tripled your veterinary expenses just trying to get your mare pregnant at this rate. Getting a mare pregnant takes a lot of work, making this occasion stressful for Ben.
