Vanity: President Trump statement on Goodyear

Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2020

Goodyear view is BLM and LGBT are not political and Blue LM and ALM are political as well as MAGA. I suspect they are backing off the Blue LM and ALM ban but if you are in management or want to be in management you better not display or support either saying.

Goodyear needs to recognize BLM and LGBT are political.

People probably shouldn’t wear MAGA hats at work, or other political attire.

But, the real issue is that BLM is good, LGBTQ is good, but Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter is somehow evil and bad.

GT signed a death warrant on this. They will not make it 24 more months after this. The company has struggled since its heydays.

Filled out the survey. I bet they are already getting slammed based on their walkback. Too little, too late.

Get woke! Go broke!

As part of forced diversity training for workers they banned MAGA gear, All Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter. Approved, however, was Black Lives Matter and LGBT items.

There are a couple of live chat buttons at the site.

Also a “Contact us” link at the bottom of the first page.

I got a survey request on my first visit, but not my second.

“People probably shouldn’t wear MAGA hats at work, or other political attire.”

It’s too bad that it’s come to that. I recall when Reagan was running, everyone in our (government) workplace wore different political buttons, hats, etc. Nobody’s nose got out of joint. Freedom.

I haven’t bought a Goodyear tire since I lost my van and travel trailer due to a Goodyear tire tread delaminating. That was right after the outrage at Firestone over their tires delaminating. What wasn’t publicized was Goodyear was having the same problem because I think they were the only American owned tire maker at that time. There were 3 US soldiers killed in Saudi Arabia at that time due to a Goodyear tire delaminating.

Excellent! We should keep all their response methods tied up! Call them, email them, go to their chat line, I’m going to do the same!

Looks like they’re getting an earful on their chat app.

Goodyear was the tire company supporting the IMSA years back, including the team that drove the decked out Chevrolet Monza GT in the late ‘70’s.

The old competition was Goodyear/Firestone.

Yes, there were the Uniroyal ‘tigerpaws’, too ...

Now there, Goodyear ... how about we cut your defense contract for aircraft tires for the military, huh?

If people are allowed to wear the cop-hating, white-people-insulting, Marxist admitting BLM hats and shirts then they are creating a hostile workplace for ME.

BLM and LGBTQ issues are VERY, VERY political. Not equity.

They hide behind a false facade.

This is entirely political.

The chat program notified that there were 189 customers ahead of me and I would have to wait 36 minutes to chat with an agent.

Don’t waste your time. You get to be the first in the queue and then they zonk you. It does boggle up their network.

I'm in at least one of those groups they are trying to pander to and at least one they're trying to piss off. I said my piece. I've used them to service my vehicles for years, not that I've entirely trusted them but that's done.

I'm sick of identity politics.
