As bad as things have gotten for us, I would NEVER think of applying with GM, REI, Starbucks, Google, Progressive Ins or, for a government job.
Can't say I understand your reasoning on a couple of levels. First, taking care of one's family is a man's major role. Second, true conservatives are willing to reward excellence. If Progressive Insurance was significantly superior to all other insurance companies, it would make little sense to reward a worse company by going with them out of spite.
