Shareholders Vote Down Bulldozer Resolution

Well, this is an abrupt end to an attempt to have far-left politics intrude on a business.

Caterpillar Incorporated officials say their shareholders have soundly rejected a resolution that would have directed the company to investigate the use of its bulldozers by the Israeli army.
The resolution was defeated today at the heavy equipment manufacturer’s annual meeting 97 percent to three percent.

It stated that Israel has used Caterpillar equipment to destroy more than three-thousand Palestinian homes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since 2000.

The fact the the vote was such an overwhelming landslide merely demonstrates it wasn’t a matter of bottom line vs. social justice, but rather a case of rationality vs. lunacy.
