When moonbats bark about “reimagining” the police, they mean sideline the police so that American cities can come to resemble Mogadishu (e.g., Chicago). When they bark about reimaging capitalism, they mean take capital and flush it down the toilet. Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard demonstrates:

Chouinard, his spouse and two adult children are giving away their ownership in the apparel maker he started some 50 years ago, dedicating all profits from the company to projects and organizations that will protect wild land and biodiversity and fight the climate crisis.

The company is worth about $3 billion, according to the New York Times.

Biodiversity is great, but preventing the utilization of undeveloped land is hardly necessary. We have the federal government to impose that by force, despite half of the USA being unoccupied anyway. As for the “climate crisis,” it does not exist, nor would throwing money at it make it go away if it did.

Chouinard piously intones that he is “reimaging capitalism” by turning his company over to envirokooks to be destroyed.

The privately held company’s stock will now be owned by a climate-focused trust and group of nonprofit organizations, called the Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective respectively, the company said in a statement, noting “every dollar that is not reinvested back into Patagonia will be distributed as dividends to protect the planet.”

Bankruptcy should follow shortly. The impact on supposedly problematic world temperature will be zero. But it’s the self-righteous gesture that counts.
