Perhaps you don't care about who receives your dollars. Some people do. 🤷♂️ See, i think it does. I feel awful for those that may lose their jobs over a boycott. 1 hour ago, JSSkinz said: Why in the world would any business owner publicly support any party or candidate, whatever you do 50% of the people are going to hate you. So dumb. So in this situation I think it's clear. Every democrat has talked about taxing the rich, etc. So Ross goes "hmmm, which politician won't touch as much of my money...Donald!"

Ok so in your world people should continue putting their hard earned dollars into businesses that contradict their social values? There is quite practically no logic in this.

In the calculation you keep missing the tacit support for family separations, racism, cruelty, etc. Do you think Donald Trump is racist or damaging lives?

PleaseBlitz Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Bullock disqualifies himself for the second day in a row by butchering a Harry Potter reference.

They get shunted into a corner, which is fair and appropriate according to my understanding of Wizard social order. The sorting hat doesn't "narrow down" the class, that sounds like some super dark fan fiction. /Picture of sorting hat with bloody wolf-like fangs (which I'm sure exists but I am not searching for) goes here. Bullock was born in the 60's. AT BEST he should stick to Star Wars (the originals) references and try not to **** those up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 7 hours ago, superozman said: I think the backlash is disgusting, and any backlash like this urging people to boycott because of an investor or an owner's political views. I agree it could be damaging. Damaging to the employees at each one of these establishments if enough people follow the boycott, which is going to hurt people making their day to day living here. For Ross, it might be a drop in the bucket if a few franchises (or however its structured) end up closing because of boycotts. It's America baby. Take Chick-Fil-A. I love the place. Some people though don't like them because the owner is anti-gay and gives his money to charities that are anti-guy. So, they want to boycott Chick-Fil-A. It's their right to do that. It's their money and they don't want their money going to causes antithetical to them. Trump is a cancer on this country. So, you wouldn't want to give your dollars to anything that supports this cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So soul cycles guy’s grand move to calm the boycott was to say yeah I know he’s racist but I make a lot more money because of him interesting. Wonder if that’ll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that’ll work. And SoulCycle and Equinox's grand move was to claim that (1) none of their profits go to politics and (2) he's a passive investor. He's their majority owner and chairman of their holding company. Any profits they make flow directly up to him. He then spends it on politics.

Also, $13 for some guacamole toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
