Excerpt:
""My concern is that I feel like socialists are taking over," Whole Foods CEO John Mackey tells me on today's show. "They're marching through the institutions. They're…taking over education. It looks like they've taken over a lot of the corporations. It looks like they've taken over the military. And it's just continuing. You know, I'm a capitalist at heart, and I believe in liberty and capitalism. Those are my twin values. And I feel like, you know, with the way freedom of speech is today, the movement on gun control, a lot of the liberties that I've taken for granted most of my life, I think, are under threat.""

maybe you should not have supported democrats
It is a concern that he waited until retirement to publicly state his thoughts on this, but I think he was aware of it some time ago.

Perhaps he recently had a visit from JG. Whole Foods may not survive without his guidance?
How did someone that stupid set up a successful business?
IRONIC.
Mmmmmm the coffee’s good.
John Dewey, famous and revered American educator, responsible for the American version of the philosophy of education, espoused a similar sort of socialism. Whether he (or any of us) knew it or not, we all learned from John Dewey. He advocated "interdependence" instead of independence. Where do you think what's-her-name got "It takes a village."?
Whole Foods did forbid employees wear BLM labeled masks and went to court to maintain that.
Now he's retiring from the business and possibly leaving it in the hands of the socialists.
He says he's starting something new. I wonder if he'll keep the socialists out of that business.
