It keeps getting easier to choose - Corporates go Political
This latest round of reactions from the shooting in Florida has an ancillary effect of simplifying my life and decision making process.

Was this a horrific act? Yes

Was it preventable? Yes

Choosing the path to politicize your organization and patronize the zealots while running scared from MSM and the rest that look at our U.S. Constitution as an A la Carte menu.

This is a summary of those who have come to me and told me they no longer want my patronage and have gone the extra mile of encouraging me to tell others to not conduct business with them.


So for you:
Corporations that have chosen to remove partnerships from the NRA
Corporations who choose to take uninformed anti-gun stances on social media
Corporate Executives who choose to turn LinkedIn into Fakebook and use their personal accounts (with their corporate title in their profile).

Bye.

Specific examples
Hertz Car Rental
Enterprise Car Rental
National Car Rental
Alamo Car Rental
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Delta Airlines
United Airlines
Avis and Budget
Symantec
TrueCar
MetLife

Outback Steakhouse
Carrabba's Italian Grill
Bonefish Grill

WalMart

Dick’s is also Field and Stream. (That was the hypocritical outlet for Dick’s to continue selling ARs after Sandy Hook)

Thanks I’m making my list and checking it twice.

Come Christmas I’ll remember who’s been naughty or nice.

ETA: can add Walmart to the list.

Well, Dick's tells you what they are when you enter, but Walmart?

in most places - dicks has merged into a larger store with field and stream - in those stores, dicks doesnt sell any guns or ammo - field and stream sells all the guns ammo and archery equipment while dicks sells shoes and volleyballs

saying that dicks isnt going to sell that shit anymore fits right into their corporate plan - crossfitters and tennis players can continue to shop at dicks while hunters and fisherman can shop at that evil hillbilly store named field and stream


...I am curious to see if the corporate bosses stop selling guns at field and stream unless their corporate conscience only bothers them at the stores that sell bowling shoes

I’d like to see a suit against the Dicks and Walmart in OR and CO citing the bakeries that were compelled to violate their religious beliefs.

Corporate pulls all their associated brands with them so in reality it is the two parent companies.

Enterprise also owns Alamo and National
Hertz also owns Avis Budget and Payless

TrueCar is also in that pile of steaming.......


Anyone see a corporate statement from either as to the why? Or are they too busy cowering in the corner hoping Antifa doesn't say mean words to them?
