However you or I define "woke," we should not want politicians to interfere with business decisions because they don't like the executive suite's views on social policy. As consumers, we can withhold our patronage of its products and services or increase it. As investors, we can put our money into companies whose values we share or take it out if we don't.

I will never forget hearing about her life, her love of family, belief in youth, joy in gardening, how much she loved living by the pond, and especially her wise advice. Conversations about her faith in God and heaven were priceless, and I look forward to one day seeing her again.

For Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, spending grown-up time on a threat to the Western alliance might seem an unwanted distraction from his main theme of waging a comic-book war against "woke." For example, his administration has just revoked the Hyatt Regency Miami's alcohol license because it hosted "A Drag Queen Christmas."

Casella’s recent sudden decision to stop landfilling sludge at Juniper Ridge is a blatant attempt to undo vital legislation and is a classic bullying tactic.
