Editorial comment:

Regarding Ford and GM political donations in Michigan: I take issue with noting their donation totals from 2018 vs 2021, specifically January 6 and forward. I also I take issue with the amounts mentioned being donated to the number of politicians: do the math - each one maybe got a little over $1,000.00. Did these donations occur after the insurrection? Or, in the preceding 3 years? I feel the positioning of your commentary on these donations miss the mark. Thanks for all you do.

Most resumed giving donations within a couple months. Ford was back in by the end of Feb. GM was back in by June (might be off by a month)

Corporations care about ONE thing, (and, hint: it isn't doing the right thing). If they aren't returning to shareholders, nothing else matters. They all hire PR firms to help them massage the messages, but they honestly only have one real responsibility, ROI.
