Job Creators Network creates ‘Rock the Woke’ to make those hijacking capitalism ‘go broke’
The “Woke Crowd” is now “trying to hijack capitalism and take control of corporations” writes Job Creators Network on their new website RockTheWoke.com.
“Business executives should not be taking a stance on political or social issues that have nothing to do with company operations. Appeasing woke workers and activist enablers does not benefit shareholders or align with the majority of consumers” adds RTW.
The initiative will “pressure companies to focus on providing products and services that consumers want – not on being culture warriors,” JCN said in a statement provided to Breitbart News. ” ‘Rock the Woke’ will include a national radio ad campaign, high-profile billboards, digital ads, social media videos, and potential legal actions.”
The website is a plan to fight back against the Woke agenda’s war on Corporate America by highlighting “egregious examples examples of ‘wokeness’ hijacking free-market capitalism.”
The group tweeted Tuesday: “We’ve officially launched our#RockTheWoke campaign to send a clear message to corporations across America: if they go woke, they will go broke.”
The group will first focus on Disney.
“Rock the Woke ads will encourage consumers to take the ‘No Mouse in My House’ pledge and boycott Disney’s massive entertainment empire until they realize they need to focus on entertaining families … and not being left-wing bullies,” the statement reads.

White House announced $6 billion student loan forgiveness for 78,000 public service workers
The White House recently announced a $6 billion loan forgiveness program. Nurses, teachers and firefighters are among the 78,000 public service workers who will qualify. Fox Business reports:
Due to fixes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, workers that never received forgiveness are now having their debts partially forgiven or canceled. Only about 7,000 public service borrowers received forgiveness prior to the Biden Administration, now that total hovers closer to 870,000, the announcement said.
“Today’s announcement comes on top of the significant progress we’ve achieved for students and student loan borrowers in the past few years,” the announcement stated. “This includes: providing the largest increases in Pell Grants in over a decade to help families who earn less than roughly $60,000 a year; fixing Income-Driven Repayment plans so borrowers in repayment for years get the relief they earned; and creating the most generous Income-Driven Repayment plan in history – the SAVE plan.”
However, there is concern over fairness that older generations are still paying off student loans and could risk losing Social Security. A group of representatives wrote a letter to Congress, hoping to address the issue of seniors still paying down student loans. Currently, under the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), the government can collect funds, such as tax refunds and Social Security, to pay outstanding student loan balances, reports Fox Business.
“Under the TOP, the federal government can withhold up to 15 percent of monthly Social Security or disability benefits for defaulted student loans,” the lawmakers explained in their letter.
