It seems as though you don’t understand the difference between the companies you listed and Google. Google regularly makes a point of including special graphics on its search page for special occasions, holidays, whatever. The point is, they go out of their way to celebrate leftist causes but fail to recognize important events in American history. It’s too bad you fail you see those differences. I’ve never seen a gas station celebrate any anniversary, but Google does.
They are an international company. They are a company that is targeted to a young, diverse demographic. I think it is unrealistic to expect them to celebrate ANY specificity US holiday. That would alienate a large part of their customer base.
I am not saying I agree with them...but if you want to know why, that’s why.
I’ve seen signs on gas stations celebrating employee anniversaries, customer events, and things like 9/11. It draws me in because it makes them look friendly and connected to the community.
But I don’t think less of gas stations that don’t do that. But I will go into the one that does...all other things being equal.
