      The majority of shareholders aren’t retail investors, they’re investment funds and are the same for every major companies you’ll find. BlackRock doesn’t care what Trump thinks, it will vote for what works.

        If that were the absolute truth as you present it, many of the other, also publicly traded companies would not have dropped DEI like it’s a sandwich full of ants

          Was that decided by shareholders or executives though? Two different groups of people with different agendas and ideologies, even though they might seem similar compared to an ordinary person.

        generally the best

        I’d argue that’s debatable these days… JD still has some of the better tractors but they’re still in a pretty terrible state when it comes to any kind of harvesting or other implement, self propelled or otherwise. New Holland swathers, balers, combines, etc will run circles around any equivalent JD equipment.

      They actually call themselves a tech company now. Their machines are guided by satellites and use computer vision to tell apart weeds and sprouts.
