I personally would never want to eat an oat-based cereal that doesn't oppose free speech.

I can easily boycott General Mills. I eat eggs for breakfast. I guess I have been boycotting them for a couple of years now.

“We will continue to monitor this new direction and evaluate our marketing spend,”... So will I.

When are these companies learn that woke politics and business do not mix.

Musk should halt all advertising and return money to those companies that had advertising on the platform. Then he should dump them and adveritize open spots to new advertisers. His own companies will clearly benefit and get the good spots.

What a coincidence. I just stopped eating Cheerios. I really want to see if they are endorsed by my hero Elon Musk.

Anyone else want to show us what not to buy?

People are making a fortune of wokeness. And people/companies are losing everything from not being woke enough.

Just as other Global Elites will do (as directed by the banking cabal), ads will be cancelled to try to stifle competition with the OWNED Fake News Media, Hollywood, and all forms of TV commercials. If you don’t promote the Global Warming Hoax, New World Order/One World Government, and the war on fossil fueled competition, you are gonna get the treatment (FBI raids, “Justice” department and regulatory frivolous lawsuits, etc.)

They probably can’t afford it. If others were like me and switched to the generic ones on the advice or our brilliant president - to save $1.00 per box.

I don’t eat raisin bran.
