The article you presented is opinion. Hell, it says so from the get go.Huh? It’s just reporting what a CEO said. Now the CEO may be anti-Trump/anti-Republican, but then again, most business leaders these days are. They do not like the Neanderthal and short-sighted thinking, and the anarchist and anti-Democratic tendencies (ahem, I’m sorry, “freedom-loving tendencies) of today’s GOP. Doesn’t make for a good or stable long-term business growth environment.
Mycroft no matter how much you fight progress it's going to happen whether you like it or don't. Technology is making the earth smaller every year. It's unavoidable countries around the world will trade with each other. America is not at its best when we shut ourselves off to the world and that is exactly what trump's america first was, a withdrawal from the rest of the world.
That's why the super strong corporations buy their policies with their donations. The politicians may change but the policies of things being weighted towards the wealthy do not.America runs on 2 and 4 years cycles; its very difficult to build business models when the rules change so frequently.
I have no problem with "progress" and neither does Trump. I have no problem with trade and neither does Trump.Mycroft no matter how much you fight progress it's going to happen whether you like it or don't. Technology is making the earth smaller every year.

And why everyone hates progressives.And this is why progressives hate centrists.
LOL you think its a good thing to have the investment bankers on your side? they are part of the PROBLEM with america. all that idiot is doing is covering his butt.
"If" they benefitted under Trump??? Now that's funny!!! LOL.Your logic is faulty.
If they benefited under Trump and now they have to "pay up",it would follow that they would be speaking out against the Dems. But they aren't.
You need to rethink things. I suggest you get some accurate information first. (The mainstream media isn't giving that to you.)
Its not just the corporate bankers. It’s American business in general. They have had it with Trump and the GOP’s antics. It’s bad for business.
“In a survey of CEOs on his call, Sonnenfeld said 100% of respondents answered "yes" to the following question: Should CEOs warn lobbyists privately that their firms will no longer support election result deniers in Congress?
By doing so, Sonnenfeld said the business leaders hoped to spread the message that "it's time to move on and respect the Constitution." He said participants in the gathering, who were granted anonymity, ranged from finance to manufacturing to the pharmaceutical industry.”

Falls in line with my long held opinion that this country, and much of the world, is run by deep pockets raather than the electorate. Playboy made an interesting case of the Trilateral Commission and the Rockefellers involvment in politics back in the 60's.That's why the super strong corporations buy their policies with their donations. The politicians may change but the policies of things being weighted towards the wealthy do not.
its bad for business because people are waking up to their globalist sellout of america and they are wanting to redirect anyway they can.
wow pro corporate liberals, amazing.
And why everyone hates progressives.
LMAO a guy who is estimated to be worth 1.8 billion bitching about "inequality" and " self-interest and act for the greater good " His ass gets bonuses while his employees get laid off.
He sure loved the government when he took taxpayer money.
Those two don’t deserve to be in the same sentence as each other. One is a fraud and failure and the other is arguably one of the most successful and respected CEOs in history. What is misguided about wanting someone with such a tremendous track record of leadership and success to lead America? I’d much rather support someone like that than someone like Bernie Sanders, who has no record of managing anything, no real proof of concept of any of his ideas, and no record of leadership or of persuading more than a small sliver of supporters most of whom are too young to know better and/or don’t have anything to lose from just tossing the whole puzzle over in the hopes of picking up a few of the pieces. I’m very tired of the cults and ideologues on both sides.Too many do, just as too many are in the trump cult. We have a lot of misguided people who want leaders to be people like trump and Dimon.

At least Sanders is not corrupt though I’ll give you that.
Sounds like a roll grandma off the cliff kind of guy. Social net concerns? I.e, Social Security. He wants your $$$ in his hedge fund.Conservatives like to brand themselves as the party of business and the free market. But this increasingly seems to be unrequited love. Business leaders are increasingly turning against their ideas on lack of regulation, law, and order in the name of “freedom”, their exclusionary racism and bigotry, their isolationism, their denial of science and resistance to public education and other public goods, etc.... Social media are shutting them out because they can’t behave themselves in the public arena. Corporations are punishing Georgia politicians for their recent attempt to reinstitute backwards and Neanderthal racist policies in that state.
Most recently, one of the leading CEOs of the country has warned of the destructive effects of conservative policies on this country:
————-
“Jamie Dimon is very bullish on the US economic recovery from the pandemic. And yet the JPMorgan Chase CEO is deeply concerned about the future of America.
In his annual shareholder letter Wednesday, Dimon wrote that the Covid-19 pandemic, the "horrific murder" of George Floyd and the painfully slow economic growth of the past two decades are all symptoms of a broader problem: "inept" public policy and broad government dysfunction.
"Unfortunately, the tragedies of this past year are only the tip of the iceberg — they merely expose enormous failures that have existed for decades and have been deeply damaging to America," Dimon wrote, adding that the nation was "totally unprepared" for the deadly pandemic.
“The fault line is inequality. And its cause is staring us in the face: our own failure to move beyond our differences and self-interest and act for the greater good”, he said.
Dimon's letter, which includes a roadmap for how to get America back on track, comes as business leaders face pressure to provide moral leadership on major issues in the face of dysfunctional government, ranging from climate change and voting rights to inequality.
Corporate America's willingness to engage on Georgia's controversial voting law led Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to warn of repercussions and former President Donald Trump to call for a boycott of major American brands, including JPMorgan.
“The fault line is inequality. And its cause is staring us in the face: our own failure to move beyond our differences and self-interest and act for the greater good”, he said.
Dimon laid out a series of what he sees as root causes for America's issues, including short-term thinking, an overreliance on economic models, media hype and partisan politics.
"Our problems are complex and frustrating — but they are fixable with hard work," Dimon wrote.
He laid out 15 policies leaders should focus on, including improved wages for low-skilled work, training for jobs, making it easier for those with a criminal record to get a job, better fiscal and tax policy, reforming social safety net programs, reviewing regulatory red tape, modernizing infrastructure, intelligent industrial policy and proper immigration policies.
“While I have a deep and abiding faith in the United States of America and its extraordinary resiliency and capabilities, we do not have a divine right to success," he wrote. "Our challenges are significant, and we should not assume they will take care of themselves." “

Yes well thankfully I have the same right and power to choose the type of President as you do, and I’m part of the approximately 40% of moderates whereas you are in the approximate 15% of the far left. So my advice is to stop pushing for ideological purity and start trying to change minds rather than just calling people you disagree with fools or misguided. On that point I can assure you the feeling is mutual, although I would have gone with the softer idealistic and naive.They belong in the same sentence, though they're not the same. Dimon is a serious plutocrat corporatist. Hey, let's look to a billionaire to run the country. centrists just love that. As if plutocracy wasn't the country's biggest problem. You are just making a fool out of yourself with your insults of Bernie, showing you are horribly informed about him, policies, and what makes a good leader. You are not going to choose the type of president we need.

And to Conservatives: there is a way to strike back. Just help overturning Citizens United. There, done.
Every product with tbe trump name on it is made overseas, that is globalism...Is trump's name on places all over the world globalism?
Weird, he talks about the problem of inequality but he's still worth over a billion dollars
