Thanks @PeopleUnited

I still buy Goya. To be honest, I have wayyyyy too many cans of beans now, but oh well, it's good to have a cache of food.

I'm happy to verbally tell small businesses if my patronage is due to unwokeness on their behalf. Maybe we'll start to see this on satisfaction surveys, although bitter grey npc employees may delete the survey so as to hide the real reason for a loss/gain in business.

Boycott etc. and shopping based on politics is a "lefty stuff".
Do we really want to go that route?
It is going to further the agenda of people who wants to divide society along communist and fascist lines and finish off centrists.

Voting with dollars is perhaps even more effective that voting at the ballot box.

Especially now that Democrats have cheated at the ballot box.

I felt this way at first. I didn't want to do it. Then I realized companies are profit motivated, and if liberals demand the company be woke else they boycott, while conservatives dont really care, guess what every company will do?

There must be consequences to their actions or they'll just continue them.

I hope another way is found. To be honest, I think businesses woke signalling has a lower common denominator compared to conservativeness or non-political stances, making it a hard battle to win.

The Federal deficit is going to be about $5 trillion this year, or about 25% of the nations GDP.

Anyone who is anyone gets free PPP money.

Voting with dollars won't work either.

@patrick looks like you beat me to it

You vote with your dollars. Done collectively, that has far more power than voting at the ballot box.

The problem is that so much of the economy is
Interconnected, which makes spending based on philosophy challenging.

May be in short term.
Long term the market will bifurcate and eventually the nation.
It is already bad with red/blue states.

Should we buy expensive inferior stuff from company of our political color than competitor?
This is not how markets should work.
How about stocks? So we care for more than profits?... and we rely on who to decide if this company is suitable for us based on "political leanings"?
How about stock exchanges?... Do we have separate ones for that too?

I think "communist lefties" can do so as their ultimate game plan is to make "markets fail".. Why would pro-market conservatives commit that suicide?

BARBASOL. They say on their website they are the custodian of resources given by God.

Very outdated and inaccurate list. Walmart is flat out CCP.

They have Walmart listed as "no longer conservative".

Misc says

That's like saying Mitt Romney is No Longer Conservative. Walmart is straight up Chicom shill.

I think Walmart took advantage of the 1980 “normalization of trade” with China just like so many other companies that sell and make goods did. Even Trump brand neckties are made overseas, because he is a chi com shill too?

1990s. What happened to those millions of high paying jobs of the future exporting to ONE BILLION CUSTOMERS?

It took Lee Scott only a few years to completely Sino-fy almost the entirety of Walmart. What's worse, is that he strongarmed supplies into moving their operations to China themselves. "Hey, we're bigass Walmart. Now move your tools/clothes/furniture operations to Shanghai to meet our new pricepoint or we'll buy from somebody who does! Fuck America!" Walmart actually developed guidelines for every industry that dealt with them how they can navigate overseas, and get a US Corp tax break for "moving".

Not defending Walmart, but Sam Walton did not set out to build a company that would sell out to the Chicoms, even if that is what actually happened. But even so, Target and Amazon are just as evil, if not more so.

If you are short on weapons, it might be a good idea for your local militia scouting parties to go into Costco and Walmart warehouses and look for the caches of Chinese weapons sent over in the guise of consumer goods. The militias can use them to arm the people instead of the waves of illegal insurgents admitted by Biden.

Lol, I remember that.

They sure don't try that bullshit line anymore.

Patrick says

The new line is to act like it's some force of nature that can't be stopped and the original unamended Constitution doesn't empower the Legislature to tariff anybody, anytime. Or the CATO/Reason lie, which is to pretend that from Washington to after WW2, the Tariff was the Main Source of Revenue and only started to decline in importance after the Income Tax was passed in the 1910s.

The High Tariff, always north of 20%, often 30%+ for most of the 19th Century is the original, all-American tax.

the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful

Another company on the side of reality:

Software company Basecamp ends politics in the workplace
As politics has consumed offices, virtual offices, and entertainment, Basecamp is following Coinbase's lead. ...

CTO David Hansson penned another blog post further expanding on the reasoning behind the company’s decision not to promote an activist but ultimately contentious workplace. Something that Hansson says he at one point saw as a “healthy debate” he now considers to be counterproductive and a source of stress.

The goal, Hansson said, is to come to work and be able to collaborate with others regardless of their political and other persuasions, unburdened by difficult and highly controversial discussions that have to do with society at large rather than their work.

According to him, by allowing these sensitive topics to be brought inside the company, “we’re setting ourselves up for strife, with little chance of actually changing anyone’s mind.”

Rolled oats with raisins, dried cherries, hazelnuts, and pecans, etc is really good cold and raw with whole milk. All the ingredients are relatively cheap at Trader Joe's.

Cereal companies generally make crap.

Sales increased after the controversy. According to news coverage:

Chick-fil-A's sales soared 12 percent, to $4.6 billion, in 2012. The good fortune follows several years of impressive expansion and strong sales, which have pushed the privately held company's valuation north of $4.5 billion, making billionaires out of its founders ... These latest sales data are just further proof that all that negative coverage didn't hurt demand for chicken sandwiches among Chick-fil-A's core consumers.

— Joe Satran, The Huffington Post[91]

...
On August 15, 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins II of Virginia entered the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Family Research Council carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, a 9 mm handgun, and a box of ammunition. After being asked for identification, he shot a security guard in the left arm and was wrestled to the ground by that same guard. Prosecutors said he told FBI agents that he wanted to use the sandwiches to "make a statement against the people who work in that building ... and with their stance against gay rights and Chick-fil-A",[65] and that he planned "to kill as many people as I could ... then smear a Chicken-fil-A [sic] sandwich on their face".[66]
(Lazy Wikipedia quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_and_LGBT_people)

How did Chik-fil-A reward conservatives coming out and increasing their revenue? They spent the rest of the decade cutting off long time Trad Family and Anti-LGBTQ groups, including a Christian Athletic Club.

Before finally grovelling to the Summer of Sam in the infamous foot wiping moment in 2020.

Exactly. I've been adding in plain rolled oats with whatever berries are on sale/in season.

European style muesli and low-sugar granola is good for you as well.
