Wall Street Journal??

Where does the 'editorial staff go from here?'

Seems in 'another time frame' this has already happened and we are just a bit slow at catching up. Like to think 'point of power' in present time; but the weight here, is heavy and gravitation 'is what it is'.

OK; erase THAT negative thought. . .and let us continue to marshall our defense and offense. . .and move forward.

I’d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves...

Seems Coke has been after this for a long time. I buy HEB store brand soft drinks made in San Antonio, Texas, USA.

Ugh, I hate diet pepsi. I wonder if they make Welsh’s diet grape soda.

You and I will pay the taxes.

That means less money to buy Coke or other products. They are hurting themselves in the end with a slower economy.

Apparently modern corporate management really is as stupid as I thought.

Coke is far from a national company now. They are international and this shows where their allegiance is.

I have bought my last Coca Cola.

I am so into coca cola! Want that last one to be 'it'. . .but not sure. Am wondering, too; who are and 'what about' the hundreds of other companies/corpoations signing on here; beyhond those mentioned. Thought 'perhaps'; doubt that one could cut them all off...but will check more closely at 'who' and 'how' to make an impact here!

And feeling a great deal of hostility at these 'bona fide', great American- or so we thought - corporate establishments.

Coke was the first to cave in to the "Kumbayah Crowd" back in the sixties:

"I'd like to teach the world to sing"

They always jump on whatever liberal bandwagon happens to be passing through.

Its a global company in a global economy. You’ll buy things that have no apparent ties to Coca Cola corp but the money will still go to them. They may own things as diverse as steel mills and tuna canneries all over the world.

Yes. . .remember the world ‘hum’ they were promoting. Now they just want us to lie ‘prostrate’ en masse.

I am not “addicted” to anything, however, I consume at least a 2 liter of DC every day. Pepsi products were banned from my house a long time ago.

Are they being blackmailed?

Well, while Liberals sympathies abound here; am wondering on 'whose' letterhead was penned - so to speak - the initial and ongoing prosposals for this united effort?

George Soros? 'Who' or from what collective 'whom'. . .

It's more probable that they're like the geek who wears his first Nehru shirt two years after the Nehru shirt has gone out of style, and thinks he's being "cutting-edge."

The “real” Dr. Pepper, not the regular DP you buy at the grocery store, is made and bottled in Dublin, Texas, USA. If y’all haven’t quenched you’re thirst with the “real” stuff, you haven’t lived. It’s still made with cane sugar as called for in the original recipe. The few businesses (Chicken Express for one) who sell it will advertise it as Dublin Dr. Pepper and people will drive out of their way to get it. Fun reading the history of it at link.

Perfect. Corporate bureaucracies are just as dense as government ones.
