“Am expecting some to tell us Goodyear tires are good enough to offset their stance...”

I have never purchased Goodyear brand tires because everything I have ever heard about them is that they are crummy tires. Now I DEFINITELY will never buy any of their products.

Yep. I’m seeing the usual lines around the corner at our closest CFA here in a county Trump won by 10% in 2016. Conservatives talk a good game until it impacts they daily lives. Just look at the NFL. Attendance and enthusiasm last season returned to pre-Kaepernick levels.

I don’t believe that the 4th quarter nor the entire 2021 bottom line will be a “Good Year” for Goodyear

Some companies do just that. No political anything on company property. Period.

But a company has to be prepared to enforce it.

Some are.

What is a step a CEO could take if he wished to reduce the trading stock price so that he or Goodyear Corp. or China could purchase stock?

If I owned a company with employees, I would never subject them to this.

I believe it is a hostile work environment.

No, they didn't. And revenue stagnated.

Let the DoJ investigate Badyear as a defense contractor for racial bias. Let the fun begin

Sooo
We bought a new Motor home with Goodyear tires on it.
Rode terribly.
Looked and rode like Fred Flintstones car with square wheels.
Just replaced the crappy goodyear tires with Toyo and they are great.

Boycotts are an individual decision, nothing else. We aren’t the stupid Leftist Borg with their pathetic attempt at hive mentality.

To expect them to be more than that is naive and silly...so to have an expectation that a preponderance of people on Free Republic are going to do something a certain way with respect to doing business with entities is a form of mental masturbation.

We are individuals, not a collective. At our core, we don’t believe in forcing or compelling people to choose where to buy chicken sandwiches and from whom to buy car tires.

We don’t always agree with that choice. But for true conservatives, that is a personal choice, not a collective choice.

Actually Goodyear tires are not good enough to offset their stance.

“Conservatives talk a good game until it impacts they daily lives.”

Yes. Same for Christians. The narrow path is much more difficult.

A Hussein Head reporter asked Kaleigh yesterday about the Goodyear tires on the President’s Beast.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_state_car_(United_States)

“The Obama/Trump presidential state car was speculated to be much heavier than its predecessor as it is equipped with Goodyear Regional RHS tires that are usually reserved for medium- and heavy-duty trucks; speculated weights range from 15,000 to 20,000 pounds (6,800 to 9,100 kg).”
