White House Creates Loyalty Rating System For 553 U.S. Companies

[Bootless]

I seem to remember a conspiracy theory about the Liberals instituting a "Social Consciousness Scorecard" or something of the sort. I don't remember the actual title, but basically, that it would be tied to one's ability to buy/sell/do business. It sort of became a meme for the right when talking about the left.

Well now here Trump is doing that which the right feared then.

White House Creates Loyalty Rating System For 553 U.S. Companies—Here’s What Trump Has Said In The Past

The White House has created “dynamic scorecards” to measure U.S. companies’ loyalty and support for President Donald Trump’s agenda, a White House official confirmed to Forbes in an email Friday, revealing the grading system as it continues pressuring large firms to align with its economic and social policies.

 
The White House confirmed to Forbes an Axios report that the West Wing created a scorecard rating 553 companies on how strongly they have supported President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” seemingly allowing the White House to quickly gauge how they will approach future conversations or interactions with the listed companies.
 
The White House official told Forbes the dynamic scorecards “incorporate the support of present and future administration initiatives.”
 
In addition to considering companies’ support of Trump’s agenda, the scorecards also take into account companies’ social media posts, press releases, video testimonials, advertisements and attendance at White House events, Axios reported, noting companies' support is ranked as strong, moderate or low.
...
Trump has applied pressure on various companies to push his opposition to DEI initiatives, encourage domestic manufacturing and infrastructure and even get Coca-Cola to bring the cane sugar version of its flagship product to the U.S. One poignant example of the administration’s power came when the Federal Communications Commission approved an $8 billion merger between Paramount and Skydance Media, with Skydance vowing to end DEI considerations in hiring, promotions, development and compensation. It also agreed to produce news and entertainment programming that embodies “a diversity of viewpoints,” according to FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Cato Institute Chair Ryan Bourne told NBC News it is unprecedented for a president to use his power to suggest CEO firings, suggest how companies should set prices and carve out “firm-specific deals that directly pay the government.”

I guess its all part of saving democracy.  Upholding Free market capitalism is making sure all US-based Fortune 500 companies have loyalty to Donald Trump, and better fucking de-implement ALL forms of diversity and inclusion if they want to recieve more favorable treatment. 
 

AI Overview
A government that rates and favors companies based on their loyalty to the administration can be characterized as an authoritarian regime or exhibiting features of crony capitalism. 

I swear others do this too...

The Chinese government, through mechanisms like the Corporate Social Credit System (CSCS) and mandatory Party building activities, incentivizes and pressures companies to align with the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) directives.

What was it?

"I can't believe it's not authoritarianism." 

Yeah, that!

It could be construed as the mark of the beast if you are into entertaining that sort of stuff. 

Im sure that has something to do with the ability to "buy/sell/do business."

Well this explains some of the upsets I and others I know have come across. First it was tariff threats then the line went cold. Not sure exactly what happened with the manufacturer but something did happen.
Something is going on and whatever it is, it's sooner than later going to affect every single person.

Let's not go there. The thread would end up in Religious Conspiracies.

Of course if someone were to start one there then ...

MSNBC, it seems, is up for sale. I'm pretty sure the Whitehouse will get involved in which company with the proper rating will be allowed to purchase, fire most everyone, and design the programing.

With NPR and PBS gone and MSNBC transformed, hmmm.

Price indexes are going up along with the national debt. Where's the savings?

Edit to add:

I just recalled that I heard that PragerU was going to replace PBS. Checked with Snopes. Exploring claim Trump admin wants to replace PBS with PragerU (" a conservative, non-profit group known for producing videos containing misleading and incorrect information about history, race and science. ")

We reached out to PragerU and to the Trump administration for comment, but had not heard back from either at the time of publishing.
...
PragerU content is currently approved for use in 9 different states, including Florida, Texas and Louisiana.
Although there's no evidence the Trump administration has partnered with PragerU as a potential "replacement" for PBS or its programming, the organization recently partnered with the White House and the Department of Education to produce "The Road To Liberty," a series of videos for the nation's 250th anniversary. 

404Media reported that the videos were "clearly AI-generated," and that one of them featured President John Adams saying "facts do not care about our feelings," a phrase associated with the conservative pundit mentioned above, Ben Shapiro. The videos featured the following line at the end: "This partnership does not constitute or imply U.S. Government or U.S. Department of Education endorsement of PragerU."

 

PragerU's videos contain misleading or factually incorrect information promoting creationism, climate change denial, slavery and racism in the United States, immigration, and the history of fascism. PragerU has also been accused of promoting fascism, racism, sexism and anti-LGBT politics.
