"This shouldn’t be confused for Disney or Iger suddenly rediscovering their moral high ground; instead, it’s a realization that submitting may come with a higher price than pushing back" - @bethkowitt.bsky.social on Disney's Jimmy Kimmel lesson Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“While bureaucracy has evolved into a pejorative term used to describe complicated and pointless administrative procedures, bureaucracy is, at its core, an administrative system and way of organizing.” @bethkowitt.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Kids are anxious about the climate, don't trust their government to help, and increasingly don't want to have kids of their own. There's a simple solution, and it's the opposite of what Trump is doing Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Twitter: Why are some billionaire men so obsessed with space? @bethkowitt.bsky.social explains why something is off 🎥

Nice piece on how CEOs can get through to Trump from @bethkowitt.bsky.social . IMO the really smart move about Dimon speaking on Fox wasn't just because Trump watches that, but because the audience he most cares about watches it too! www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Disney ran “like a scared mouse from any possible confrontation with Donald Trump or his state-sponsored retribution apparatus.” It wasn’t enough. @bethkowitt.bsky.social @mattbelloni.bsky.social $DIS www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The dominant storyline in corporate America right now is that activism is dead. One ex-Skadden lawyer is reshaping that narrative. @bethkowitt.bsky.social explains why 🎥

I missed this the other day: Excellent column full of historical tidbits — and entertaining meta asides>> How the em dash — beloved by @davelee.me — became a flashpoint in separating the real from AI www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

With the flood of bad news, it can be hard to get perspective on just how much damage Trump is doing. So we made a chart to get across Trump's whole-of-government approach to wrecking the climate: at least 82 actions from 20 different agencies in 52 days. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...

I tend to think healthy car brands don't usually need: - Sales events at the White House - Cabinet secretaries hawking their stock on TV - Protestors at their showrooms to be branded 'domestic terrorists' But I could be wrong @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Leaked audio of the JPMorgan CEO is the latest evidence that the Covid-era celebration of “empathetic leadership” has run its course, explains @bethkowitt.bsky.social

The weekend purge at HHS is putting the health and safety of Americans at risk. I talked to people w/in FDA, NIH & CMS about the important work they do--and what we lose out on with this unconscionable dismantling of public health & science in the US. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

I'm often guilty of rolling my eyes at the ongoing Work From Home debate, but this is excellent >> Citi's commitment to hybrid work will help it win the talent war for the best and brightest working parents, says @bethkowitt.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Some thoughts on the swift dismantling USAID & its terrible consequences for global health. The list is long, but already prevention & treatment of malaria, TB & HIV is being sidelined. What's happening is unconscionable. And it'll cost lives. My latest for @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

“Trump wants a bar brawl — and he’s remade the Republican Party in his image. He’s also being candid about policies and values that politicos of Reagan’s era also believed in, but tried keeping under wraps. Trump has torn off the mask.” My column today: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Zuckerberg’s Meta changes are the latest sign that the business world is tiring of trying to convince you that they’re “the good guys,” says @bethkowitt.bsky.social

With Donald Trump’s return to the world stage, it’s all but certain to be an unusually unpredictable year. What’s top of mind for our columnists? AI, crypto, markets, housing and more.

NEW for @opinion.bloomberg.com: The MAGA storming of Menlo Park is almost complete .... and why Zuckerberg is using it to rid himself of a publicity stunt he never believed in.

Anti-DEI crusader Robby Starbuck wants people to boycott Costco. That means giving up $1.50 hotdogs, gold bars, and more wine from Bordeaux than any other retailer. Good luck with that, says @bethkowitt.bsky.social

The rage being expressed online after the shooting of the UnitedHealthcare executive is rightly scary to companies. But their response needs to be more than bulking up security, says @bethkowitt.bsky.social

If corporate America is only talking about and investing in security practices after the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, it's treating the symptom rather than the underlying disease. My latest for @opinion.bloomberg.com.
