Levi Strauss goes gun control: Have corporations gone mad?
Washington Times ^ | 9/6/18 | Cheryl Chumley

Posted on 09/06/2018 3:35:39 AM PDT by markomalley

Levi Strauss, the famous jeans maker and clothing manufacturer, has jumped into the gun control bed with none other than the king of anti-Second Amendment himself, Michael Bloomberg.

Do corporations these days have a death wish? Seriously, are they even in business to make money any more?

Or are they simply existing to serve as political arms of politicians’ political designs?

Levi Strauss was publicly involved in homo-activism in the ‘90s, so it’s no surprise at all.

Again, here's the answer. Many of the sponsors of the media are the problem.

They think like bosses of third world ****holes. They wanted us all to bow down to their perverted kids in the '70s, and their kids are the bosses now. They want you disarmed. They want to own your grandchildren.

Get it now? If not, you will.

It's many of the sponsors of the media.

On gun control, the answer should be obvious. They’ve been constructing an incremental coup through the judicial (law schools—see higher education). When the coup is complete enough, they don’t want the population to be armed at all.

Do you see?

Make acquaintances, and find friendlies. Tell them how important it is to vote in the midterm elections for members of Congress. Vote like our lives depend on it.

Well what I always ponder is where exactly did $21 trillion in tax debt go and how did these uber leftist idiots become so wealthy to head these monster corporations and wall street firms. I think the American tax payers have been funding their own demise without even knowing about it for decades. It’s all one big scam.

How many pairs of their jeans have been sold to cowboys in the past 150 years +++?

Those cowboys STILL carry weapons when way from the ranch house, and in the border states, they are carrying AT the ranch house/barn/shed/hay shed also. These men have used guns all of their lives.

The snowflakes that are making these corporate decisions are ruining the brand.

No they haven't. They (and their fellow members of the establishment that has always ruled us) have just adopted Leftism because they think it is in their interests to do so.

It's what I call the "William McKinley Left": old guard, old family people who have been going radical since at least the late nineteenth century (remember Tragedy and Hope, people?).

The traditional, old, unchanged establishment has simply at some point in the past looked Leftism over like a car on a lot and decided to buy it. They fact that they used to be the exact opposite in their politics means nothing.

I guarantee you that the old family foundations didn't suddenly turn Left when they were taken over by coal miners.

I always bought Wranglers for my family. (my hubby, me, and eight kids).
Half the price of Levis, and lasting twice as long!

Corporate board rooms and corporate executive offices all worshiping at the alter of political correctness which has pretty much destoyed this once great nation.

The face of DemonRATS gun grabbers the nation over.

I got that, but still, it makes little sense that some fund manager from Fidelity, T Rowe Price, or the like would want them to take controversial positions that would hurt the bottom line.

How about it isn't the fund "manager's" money....it's other peoples money.

I guess they don’t want working men to wear Levi’s.

Wrangled and the other proud sponsor of professional bull riding; Cinch Jeans. Green Label very affordable, comfort fit and they don’t crawl up your a** when you’re in the saddle. Horse or Harley.

Thanks for the eBay tip. There happens to be new ones on eBay from individuals.
