Is it safe to say that the business community is no longer a bastion of Republican thought?
We are and have been in a position where if one or two SCREAM loud enough for the ‘restrictions’, thousands of us basically just shake our heads and say it isn’t right etc.
Maybe if WE took some time from earning a living and raising a family to make our voices heard.
Most companies will back off if 60% of the population is LOUDLY for or against it etc...
FOLLOW THE MONEY
DICK’S Sporting Goods Is listed. That outfit is now totally FUBAR.
Listing Bain Capital does no good. We need to know the investments they hold which are undoubtedly anti-American.
Where is Amazon?
I just bought an Asus Zephyrus laptop; I imagine the Taiwanese have a clearer picture of leftism than these PC American companies. And I’m so far pretty happy with the laptop. It’s not much larger than an ultrabook, builds fast, and has a decent keyboard and good touchpad. I haven’t tried gaming on it yet.
Amazon doesn’t? Fakebook doesn’t? And only NBC /Comcast does out of al the lying liberal media outlests? Rather surprising.
I have to have xfinity internet for my work...it’s either that or at&t fiber. But that’s the only one of all of those companies I knowingly pay a lot of money to.
Showtime is included in my cable package, so I guess that counts. I’ve picked up bagels at Panera a year or so ago. And I buy Sara Lee classic white when I need white bread and don’t feel like baking my own, which is rare. I usually bake my own or eat Arnold whole grain breads.
Yeah, because that's a rational, measured response.
Did it ever occur to you that there are employees of these companies who don't fall in lockstep with their employers? You would deny people a fundamental right based on association alone? How is this solution any different than the distinction itself?
In case you missed it (ICYMI), Alphabet Inc. is Google & Youtube just to name 2 subsidiaries. “Do no evil”, yeah, right!
How was this list compiled? I accept the names until I got to Southwestern Bell. That company has not existed for well over years. I started my career there and retired from its successor SBC. What gives?
Thanks!
So I wonder if the CEOs and upper échelon management types are giving up their armed security yet?

I ran a big marketing dept. There was a cardinal rule...no politics or religion would be tied to the company or products. Any mention of these and you instantly lose that market segment that disagrees with you. You can never win MORE business, you can only lose market share. it is THE MOST STUPID MARKETING MOVE YOU CAN MAKE. (Who the he’ll are running these companies today?)
I don't know about who's running them but I'd say the previous post holds the clue to who is influencing them.
There's a lot of scrolling involved.
“None of those businesses are ones we frequent. I think we already cancelled them all.”
That was my reaction, too. I shop little, buy house brands and make my own when it comes to foodstuffs.
The last time we ‘went out’ for dinner was the Culver’s Drive-Through because we had been on the road all day and it was getting late.
Butter Burgers. Yum! :)
The only one of those companies I go to or use is AutoZone. So, it looks like I’ll be going to Pep Boys or O’Reilly’s from now on (they are both about a mile or so further away from my house than AutoZone, but that’s okay).

“Did the mafia come by and say, ‘Aren’t you concerned about your business’s SOCIAL IMAGE?’”
The Gay Mafia or the BLM Mafia, most likely...
Wonder when the ‘Goodfellas’ are going to become concerned that all of these other ‘groups’ are movin’ in on their territories?
Meh. They’ve probably already got their fingers in the pies. ;)
AMC Theaters - dying industry, I suspect at 25-50% of theaters to close in the next year or so. Even with restrictions lifted, movies are backlogged by 6-12 months, noting to release and put people in the seats.
Bank of America - Possibly the worst bank ever.
