Somehow I doubt all the indignant around here had no clue that Carhartt had woke tendencies. Yet that never stopped them from spending money.
And I thought we were all okay with a private business making a decision for themselves?
A private business is perfectly within their rights to do so (or should be, in a sane nation).
Just as a private consumer is perfectly within their rights to purchase from another source and tell said private gutless business to FO.
“Somehow I doubt all the indignant around here had no clue that Carhartt had woke tendencies. Yet that never stopped them from spending money.”
It simple really.
I don’t go look into a company’s politics, I just buy the products that I want. I just don’t care that much, and don’t have that kind of time.
But when they feel it’s necessary to signal their virtue, raise their hand a tell everyone they’re woke to get points from the political establishment, then I will notice, and avoid them like the plague.
“And I thought we were all okay with a private business making a decision for themselves?”
Your indignation is based on something no one has said. Of course they’re free to make their own decisions, just as we are free to not buy their products if we don’t like their decisions.
