Publix is backing down in a standoff with survivors of this year's mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school, saying it has suspended political contributions.
The regional supermarket chain, which is based in Florida, announced its decision amid a "die-in" at several Publix stores in the state to protest the supermarket chain's financial support for a gubernatorial candidate who opposes gun control.
Publix said Friday in a statement that it will "suspend corporate-funded political contributions as we reevaluate our giving processes."

Very very disappointing.
Publix initially issued a statement saying it supported "bi-partisan, business-friendly candidates," then took to social media to state it has not provided financial support to the NRA.

In the war against the left, companies are either with us, or with them.
Being pussies means they’re with THEM.

"They caved to liberal bullies." Worse, they caved to triangle-head fetal alcohol boy David Hogg—perfect Everglades python bait.

This is why you shouldn’t depend on capitalism to save you, or even HELP you: companies will fold to the Left and adopt their positions every single time. Over the years we made an assumption that business was our friend, but in countless examples, they’ve betrayed us to virtue signal for the Left, on everything from gun rights to education to immigration. Adam Smith was wrong. The profit motive is NOT the great political leveler.
