What I DO find offensive about Walgreen's threatened repatriation

to Switzerland is their all-American theme song, "Down On The Corner" - if they want to relocate, rebrand as "Edelweiss" or something.

I also think that since corporations are people, if they renounce their citizenship, they ought to be subject to the same federal laws as any other American, and by extension, any other foreigner.

they renounce their U.S. citizenship. They have to apply for a visa and must shut down all their pharmacies until they are given a visa.

Then one day I realized I was only a number to them they they made money off of and dumped them.

Will never use them again no matter how much rebranding they try.

And agree with what you said.

On my end, it won't be any cheaper, but if Walgreens feels comfortable eschewing its social responsibility to create American jobs, they ain't getting my money, period.
