‘Dilbert’ Comic Strip Canceled for Laughing at Progressives

Adams consistently poked fun at how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues affected the workplace. One of the many focuses of the ESG philosophy is to make sure that workplaces are diverse, since that automatically means that a company will perform better (wink). “All of the wokeness and anything that permeated from ESG … so that stuff made its way into the business world, and then it became proper content for Dilbert,” Adams said. “The problem is that people see that even though it’s a workplace-related joke, but it’s more about how they implement it.”
On his daily podcast, Coffee With Scott Adams (on LOCALS, highly recommended), Scott explains that since he’s already rich he can do stuff like that.
UPDATE: ‘Dilbert’ Fired by Some Comics Pages, but Critics of Corporate Wokeness Might Get Last Laugh
