Apple, Google/Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Facebook/Meta, Nike, VISA, a bunch of i-banks and hedge funds, I could fill pages of top 250 corps that are at least to center and most left of center - but ya, old school oil and gas companies are probably throwbacks.
I really shouldn't but FFS where do these strong public employees unions exist you speak of?
Well duh. They have to make a profit or there will be no more corporation. What they support with that profit is how they are judged politically.

A mixed bag - things like GMO scares and lots of crazy views pseudo-science takes on food come from the left. There are two kinds of science in 2022 - the science that agrees with one's politics and the science that does not. An interesting study showed that the more highly educated a person is, the more likely they are to reject math or scientific data that does not match their personal values/beliefs. So no, science denial is not a left/right thing -- it is a "how partisan are you" thing.
You're right, I just had to do it for the couple likes I (hopefully) get.
You lost me here. These are left leaning corporations?! Employing a decent number of left leaning folks does not mean a left leaning organization.
Anti-vax is an interesting one. To oversimplify, it first was pushed by small very conservative religious groups, then later by more of "granola" groups, then by suburban homemakers across the spectrum, to now right of center covid folks. Go figure.You're right, I just had to do it for the couple likes I (hopefully) get.
It's actually really interesting how anti-vax sentiment was heavily concentrated in the left before Covid. Although I would guess those folks were probably also anti-Covid-vax. That one aside, an argument could be made that the science that the current right has teamed against has greater implications regarding global health and global warming.
Then there’s some folks I know who are the crossroads of all of them. Religious right leaning suburbanite boomers who use a naturopath instead of a doctor, and are now staunchly anti-vax. These folks both caught COVID, one nearly died of pneumonia from it, yet are now saying COVID cured them of their lung problems, and are touting ivermectin as the drug that saved them.
You missed one in the timeline.
And the extreme right demographic groups that are the least vaccinated are African American and Hispanic males and young people.
Elon is a dude casting out ideas hoping that someone else can actually make them happen so he can claim them.
I don’t know, but would speculate long-standing trust issues coming out of medical experimentation and poor treatment patterns of black Americans account for some of the non-vac sentiment with that group, and the anti-vax push by some catholic leaders due to “use of fetal tissue” would hit Hispanic population harder. But who knows.
