Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus warns about the “woke generation” pushing the climate change agenda and enforcing diversity being a danger to society, while many people living on handouts refuse to work even as a recession looms ahead.

“I certainly don’t want to see the woke generation coming up, especially the leaders. I’m watching Davos, what happened in Davos, and they’re recommending spending more money on climate control when we don’t have it,” Marcus said Thursday in an interview with Fox. “We’ve already overspent. And if anything, climate control has caused most of the problems we have today.”
