The president-elect has prompted a backlash against boardroom virtue signalling and diversity phrases
Asked to describe the vibe shift on Wall Street since Donald Trump’s re-election last November, a senior hedge fund manager replies simply with a link to Landman, a new drama series on the Paramount+ streaming service.
Starring Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm, and released just under a fortnight after Trump’s resounding victory, it follows the boom-time skirmishing of wildcat oil explorers in West Texas — think Mad Men for fossil fuels.
I love how “Landman” is just Billy Bob Thornton giving based lectures to a left-wing white woman.
