Levi Strauss Announces Massive Gun Control Campaign, Turns Employees into Political Activists
Western Journalism ^ | 09-04-2018 | Lisa-Payne Neager

Levi Strauss & Co. has expanded their original mission beyond the manufacture of blue jeans. This “values driven company” now feels a responsibility to “the communities where we live and work” and will now engage with other gun control groups to fight for “gun violence prevention.”

Chip Berg, CEO of Levi Strauss, wrote an open letter to his customers asking them not to bring firearms onto the premises of their stores, offices or other facilities. For him, it was a matter of safety. Of course, law enforcement was exempt from that request.

Ditto - I haven’t bought LS in probably 10 years. Wrangler and American Eagle fit better, last as long or longer through some tough use.

All of those brands are imported.

These are jeans well made by Americans for Americans: Gusset Jeans.

I stopped buying Levis when they moved their production facilities outside of the USA. Their CEO is a fool.

“I gave Levi’s the middle finger decades ago.”

So did I. They have been obnoxiously anti-gun ever since I’ve been keeping track of such things going back to the 60’s.

“I’m a Carhartt and Wrangler guy.”

Me, too. However, I do still have one old paid of Levi jeans, but they are thin and frayed and I wear them for yard work; I also still have my Levi denim jacket, which I sometimes wear in the fall over a wool sweater when I work outdoors in crappy conditions; so crappy that I don’t want to destroy any of my three Carhartt jackets while working out there.

“It’s like all the corporations are striking at once. It’s really odd.”

Generally speaking the CEO class are a bunch of shitheads.

“But the company has struggled in recent years to connect with younger consumers. “

They are going to be struggling a lot more with older consumers too.

Like Walmart they restricted gun sales to 21 and over. They only sell guns at their big store in Maine. Don’t like that but hardly a case of gun grabbing.

The commies launched a boycott of Bean last year because a family member in mgt supports Trump. In response Laura Ingraham said “buy at Bean.”

These days it’s hard to find someone perfect but I’m satisfied Bean does their best to at least stay neutral.
