BlackRock’s Larry Fink realized DEI policies ‘bad for business’: Joe Concha
Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said BlackRock CEO Larry Fink realized “alienating” half the country with diversity, equity, and inclusion policies hurt his company.
Concha highlighted other companies that also removed DEI policies, including Coca-Cola, Target, and Walmart.
Concha said more companies like BlackRock are beginning to realize a “merit-based system” will lead to a more successful business.
“Woke is dead,” Concha said. “The Donald Trump election of 2024 helped solidify that, and that’s why Larry Fink is singing a much different tune than he did eight years ago.”
