As we saw with Gilette and Levis, going woke gets you broke.

Add Disney's Star Wars to the list.

Most of them were pushed out - after about a year of gang shootings, the murder rate dropped to normal. The local gangsters, police, and population hated the newcomers with passion...for a city this large and "diverse" Houston actually has low crime rate
