With a modicum of effort I could avoid GE products. Dophrah is doing their advertising for them. I don’t put most athletes in the same category with the doprahs and most of hollywood together with their disgusting homophilic writers. Athletes often sacrifice their physical health—football is not the metrosexuals.
If I so choose, I can do without GE, their ads, and Doprah. I can’t say the same for paying my taxes that consume 50% of my income—this I worry far more about than GE ceos since they won’t put a gun in my face if I refuse to pay tribute.
I doubt you could avoid GE products. I worked for GE many years ago, which is how I ended up with the stock (employee investment program). Appliances is only one part of their business. I strongly suspect that electrical production equipment and turbines are still a significant part of their portfolio, as well as jet engines. I suspect the only way I could avoid GE would be to get off the grid and buy solar or wind from a non GE company.
