I do business with, and may soon be working for, a major competitor of Honeywell in the automation and control sector.
Boycotting those large companies is virtually impossible.

“I’m thinking there is some sort of back door gov’t subsidy for msnbc”
Sort of. For Comcast, funding the money losing MSNBC is the cost of doing business. It is no secret that Comcast is trying to take over Time-Warner cable. The Comcast CEO plays golf with Barry. I’m sure part of their conversation on the links centers on Barry’s appreciation for Comcast funding millions for Al Sharpton and MSNBC. The Comcast CEO then grovels in an effort to get Barry and the FCC to approve the merger.
MSNBC stays on the air because they are being run by Comcast and Comcast is a far left organization..that is why MSNBC will never be removed from the airwaves..even if they had one viewer Comcast wouldn’t care, its all about spewing the Communist agenda
‘New York Stock Exchange’ - I’ll liquidate my 401K and my IRA on Monday.
I just dropped $300 on Behr paint at Home Depot for a house I’m flipping. Can’t return it; custom color.
I own an Ann Taylor ‘Little Black Dress’ that has gotten me through countless weddings and funerals. Quality pays off, big time! Besides, I NEED it for The Holidays.
I have a Honeywell Furnace/Thermostat. I’ll yank that out tomorrow, as I go deeper into a Wisconsin Winter.
Kimberly-Clark makes my toilet paper. Not happening.
How about instead of ‘boycotting’ stuff, we make a conscious effort to BUY LOCAL and buy from companies within our own neighborhoods/states?
I’m still helping my LOCAL economy even if I shop at Home Depot (for example) as they employ my neighbors and pay property, sales and business taxes to my state. I’m a Local (Family Owned) Business Manager. If you boycotted me, I’d be screwed, as would all the people I employ.
I’ve got cheese, brats, venison, micro-brews, cranberries and potatoes to barter! :)
Their ratings are barely above that of broadcasting a test pattern. How can a boycott hurt them?
Now what?
Here you go: Dec. 21, 2014 to eternity.
No Anheuser-Busch products for me, thank you. Life’s too short to drink swill.
Why would I stop buying from any of these companies to boycott a news station I don’t care about?
At this time I have to keep their Internet services
Yes, I understand that in many parts of the country you only have one choice of internet service providers. At least the Comcast cable TV subsidiary should be run in to the ground.
We need to select one and make an example of them. Spreading it out would dilute the message.
Home depot would probably be the best place to start since they will directly see it in their bottom line very quickly.
“Boycotts are normally pretty useless...”
See what we did to protest the protesters of ChikFilA? That is how powerful our voice is. We have the money so our boycotts mean something.
already have a running start on those guys....since they embraced the homo agenda.
aint been there in years.
If we boycott them, we should at least tell a couple of them (as we have time), WHY.
Seriously? MSNBC has sponsors?
I love Coke, Squirt, Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Minute Maid Lemonade. No boycott here. Boycotts suck.
Switch on MSNBC and you will see the same advertisements as you do on FOXnews or anywhere else for the most part.
You’re correct.
As part of hugely profitable regime affiliate Comcast, they have no need to make money.
It’s basically to offer talking points to the true believers.
