“I wonder what he would think if all his own employees came to work drugged out every day”

Well, considering he was busted for pot once, probably not much.

Progressive, Geico, and Kaiser are all crap companies, which I would never do business with.

I might hit Flo but I would never buy Progressive. GEICO by the way is a Buffett company which is just as bad.

Nope. Send business to companies who do not support ISlam, Soros and their agenda.

Amazing that Peter Lewis wouldn’t build his corporate headquarters in
downtown Cleveland because he didn’t want to pay union labor fees...
Isn’t this being hypocritical to his other causes? He presently leases
all his office space in spread out buildings throughout the east side.
Also interesting is his refusal to donate to worthy causes like Hospital
childrens diseases, or any other good thing in Cleveland...His twin
brother died when a drunk driver ran into him...so,what’s up with the
“no drug” testing?

Like I’d ever patronize a company called “Progressive” in the first place. Too funny.

This is hardly breaking news. The word about Progressive has been out for a long time.

Just like Paul Pelosi who ducks union labor in his vineyards, contruction projects and restaurants.

The Left is beyond reproach.

Ins companies do not hire on the basis of your political affiliation. Jobs right now are scarce as it is. Should we boycott GEICO too because it is owned by Buffet, and he contributes to Libs?

Well, DUH! Why do you think it’s called “Progressive?” I read about this eons ago, when I was reading an article about Ben & Jerry’s.

The author didn't suggest not buying insurance. He suggested not buying insurance from Progressive.

Unless Progressive is the least efficient insurance company from all the others in terms of staff utilization, there will be no net loss of jobs, and perhaps even an increase in total jobs.

OK. Do you have a solution to go with your problem?

Who are some of the better conservative, or non-political insurance companies?

It’s ironic that a “progressive” such as Lewis would be churning out company ads that emphasize individual choice about the design and pricing of the policies offered. Exactly the opposite would occur were we to allow ObamaCare to slowly but surely move us in the direction of single payer health care.

I also am curious whether Mr. Lewis views HIS company’s profits as “obscene” or “undeserved.” If so, he has lots of good company in this administration, including the Oval Office.

The name alone should give you the willies.
