Profit is the only consideration.

All else is public relations.

exists only to protect profits and/or be an advertising arm.

Revolt as necessary. See: France.

If we boycotted every company that was immoral and unethical, we'd be walking everywhere, our houses wouldn't have any power, and the only food we'd eat would be Ben & Jerry's. There would be no medicine either.

I live in Wisconsin. Since the appointment of the orange goon (he came in second), I've boycotted almost everything from those red, "David Duke" states (including Wisconsin) and buycotted neighboring states Minnesota and Illinois (where Walgreens is headquartered) for voting blue.

Why should we punish the working class of blue states who did the right thing by voting for Hillary? The bastards at the top who get their millions anyway won't suffer in the least. Even the owner of my beloved Chicago Cubs is a Walker donor, but I root for the team and my birth city, not Ricketts himself.

I also root against the Packers--not because of my Chicago background--but because of that contract they gave Favre many years ago of $10 million per year, when the annual budget at my wife's school district (1,000 students) was only $9 million.

I hear righties b*tching about teachers only working half a year, but Favre, using the same logic only worked 8 hours a year. You see, there are 16 1-hour games in a regular season. The offense is on the field for half a game. Half of 16 hours is 8. Do these Joe-6 packs doing all the b*tching about teachers make $10,000,000 in an 8-hour shift?






























in an 8-hour shift? They probably don't know how many zeroes are in that number.

Boycotts and activism may only stand a slim chance of having a desired effect on a business, but doing nothing is even less likely to change anything.

See post #5.

If they didn’t cheat they would have been gone two elections ago.

They'll change their tune if there's enough bad publicity.

NYT has this wrong: "It’s yet another example — alongside soaring C.E.O. pay and stagnant worker wages — of corporations abdicating the leadership role they once played in America." That's pure bullshit.

This promotes the rather strange idea that, once upon a time, America's leaders were corporations. This is particularly bizarre in an article about a corporate-sponsored GOP trying to destroy democracy.

These corporations are taking a leadership role in attacking democracy. A democracy represents the threat of taxation and regulation to these corporations.
