Well, there is the whole "black people are being held down by whitey" message.

What, the video was removed by the White Police or something? Can't believe I'm actually posting about something that is nothing. It's 2016 Syndrome.

Ok, I read it. Now I see why the anti-trumpers like her. ::)
I find it amazingly hard to believe that her story was true.
Paraphrased; a survey asked corporate CEOs if they would invest in the long term (eg: training, capital equipment, R&D etc) if it would take 5 to 10 years to make a very good return, but it would take a penny off the stock price today. She said every one of them said no, they wouldn't do it because the stockholders would revolt.
I just don't believe that the story was as she said. Perhaps if the return was more like 20 years and the hit to the stock price was substantial she would have gotten some "no"s, but even then it would not be unanimous.
I just think this is another case of her lying.

She got part of it right. Corporations are under intense pressure to produce each and every quarter. Where she missed is, it isn't corporate law creating it but her Wall Street buddies that are creating the pressure to improve quarter after quarter.

Actually, it's the owners of the companies...the shareholders.

It's a bogus question.
There's no such thing as a very good return 5 years out and asking the question as if there were is deceitful. The uncertainty 5 years out is known by every business manager and is part of the CEO's calculations. You don't know what's going to happen in 5 years, so the question being answered is really "would you sacrifice all of your returns today for the possibility of great returns in 5 years". The answer is going to be no every time.
When I hear things like this I wonder if they're stupid or purposefully leading people astray.

The survey must have missed Amazon's Jeff Bezos:
If you're leading a business leader, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has some advice: Figure out what will matter in 10 years, and build your strategy around that.

Every corporation should do strategic, and long term planning based on trends seen in the marketplace. However, that is a mine field. Bezos (ultra far left, anti freedom, Progressive who owns the Washington Post) figured out that the internet would replace bricks and mortar retail sales, but more importantly he had the capital or acquired the capital to exploit that trend. Even I saw that more than 20 years ago, but I had neither the capital, nor IT expertise to capitalize on it.
