American Thinker: Owing to the dominance of leftists throughout academia and the media, many corporations have caved in to, or willingly adopted, the values of the progressive left. Institutions respond to other institutions more than to individuals, which is why so many ostensible beneficiaries of free markets end up supporting leftist causes.
Pretty much everyone that cares understands that Starbucks, with its infamous, counterproductive “talk about race” initiative, is progressive in outlook. But many other companies quietly donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center or other leftist groups without much public awareness.
My friend who blogs under the name Bookworm, at the eponymous Bookworm Room website, has done us all a favor by collecting a database now exceeding 7,000 companies and their political positions and values. Check it out
Any and all companies that make decisions/announcements based on political/socially charged issues.
If I like/need what you’re selling, I’ll buy it. That should be the extent of the relationship. Beyond that….I. Don’t. Care.
Try to buy a car without all the 40 acronym EV Green iTech partial/full zero all plastic BS. Give me one that rolls properly without making me feel bad about wrecking the world. Man, if I gave a shit about the environment that much I wouldn’t have a goddamn car. Slap cancer warnings on the side of cars like a pack of cigarettes, maybe we’ll stop buying them. Essentially that’s what they’ve done. Which is why my sorry cracker ass sits in a 15 year old car that sucks gas like it should, doesn’t have all the liberal bullshit on it and it goes like stink on shit from A to Z. In my downtime, I rip premium thru an unrestricted 803cc 2-wheeler that makes liberals grab pearls. When they bitch I say, “But this hog gets over 45 MPG, fuck off!!!”
All companies suck! Which is why, time after time, I eventually realize that even the shit I need, I really don’t need.
So nothing gets done, and I’m good with that.
Worry about it when it actually breaks, you probably won’t need it anymore.
Until just now, I was rather proud of having worked at Visa for several years. Their explicit mission was to enable and facilitate the exchange of money between people who voluntarily engaged in buying and selling. Capitalism and market activity, in other words.
But hearing that Visa has turned their back on that and has cut off Horowitz’s payment setup has changed that utterly. I’m ashamed of what they have done, and especially that they’ve done so at the prodding of the horrible left-collectivist cabal at SPLC.
GFY, Visa.
Man, the Racial Slur Data Base is hella’ easier to navigate.
I try to make it easy – if they support the SPLC, I’m out. That’s a hate group if I ever saw one; just apply their own definition to them.
Even the DOJ won’t work with SPLC anymore.
