Levi Strauss goes gun control: Have corporations gone mad?
Washington Times ^ | 9/6/18 | Cheryl Chumley

Posted on 09/06/2018 3:35:39 AM PDT by markomalley

Levi Strauss, the famous jeans maker and clothing manufacturer, has jumped into the gun control bed with none other than the king of anti-Second Amendment himself, Michael Bloomberg.

Do corporations these days have a death wish? Seriously, are they even in business to make money any more?

Or are they simply existing to serve as political arms of politicians’ political designs?

Buy them at a second hand store or eBay so the company doesn’t get your money.

Stopped buying Levi products years ago when they started promoting the gay agenda.

No, corporations have not gone mad, they know their demographics and unfortunately the New America, full of millenials who happen to think real life is a tv commercial. They travel with their partner and dogs in a Suburu, meeting other millenials who are respresented by all minorities, at sunset drinking a politically correct beer, all wearing politically correct jeans. The transitional lenses are worn by transitional people who could be male or female. Ah, life is a commercial.

I realize it’s a mystery to some, but one visit to a corporate office will explain it.

Imagine every single bit of propaganda that liberals have put or tried to put into a school and you’ll find it everywhere in a corporate office, be it human resources for a factory or offices at a shipping warehouse. Every manager’s door has a safe space rainbow flag on it.

All of them go through ‘training’ to at least mouth all the proper words for feminism, the homosexual agenda, etc. You can scan the cubicle and the only ‘family’ pictures you’ll find are those that wouldn’t fit the typical nuclear family mould.

Ineptness at your job isn’t reason to fire you; offending someone is. Working in a corporate office is like working the DNC; every moment, someone is listening for you to say unapproved words or opinions. And the parking lot is a sea of liberal love. Go ahead, if you can’t get into an office, at least cruise the parking lot (just tell the gate guard you’re here to drop off an application.)

You’ll almost never see an NRA sticker (unless it’s against them), no MAGA stickers, but every form of Bernie or With Her stickers you can imagine as well as any other liberal approved propaganda.

They live in a bubble as vast as the DNC’s bubble as to what America is like. You don’t think every gender or ethnic studies masters ends up working at Starbucks do you? Corporates have always loved hiring the top ranks in classes, and all of those whacked out people landed in human resources for corporations and imported all the propaganda with them.

Levi’s aren’t made in American anyway. I rarely, if ever, buy them.

" "Repeal the 17th Amendment and this type of garbage will go away."

I agree 100% but how would you ever get 2/3 of the senators to vote to eliminate their cushy position? especially those senators whose state legislatures are controlled by the opposition party. Well, anyway, we can dream... "

No need to dream the founders gave us the tool to make it happen.

Article V Convention Of States

That is the very reason we have a movement to call a Convention Of States. A COS can propose an amendment like repealing the 17th that will never get proposed by congress. It's the very reason the framers added the Article V provision in the Constitution.

The upper levels of many corporations have been taken over by liberals. The business world used to be the domain of mostly right-leaning individuals, but this is now just another area of our lives that the Leftists have taken over.

Its called corporate ethics and social responsibility and covers many things, not just guns. You can find lists of the ethical companies

Another area is global warming. Levi and many other corporations have committed to 100% renewable by such and such a date not just for themselves but also their supply chain. The RE 100 is a list of corporates that are on the renewable track and they all signed onto "We're Still In" campaign after Trump withdrew the US from the COP21 agreement in Paris 2015

True. Most of the “executives” live in Ivory Towers and as typical liberals do not live by the same rules normal people do.

The whole Corporate SJW thing reminds me of Lush. One of their big marketing points was sustainable products at a fair living wage. A lot of their over priced crap comes from China. So much hypocracy.

Ask their institutional investors.

Yep. Globalism strikes back. In a war, there are sacrifices that have to be made and they are willing to make them to win.

I wonder how many hunters and gun owners wear Levis? I suspect a lot.

They will now be switching to Wranglers. The chosen jeans of Professional Rodeo, Brett Favre and Dale Jr.

Constitutional Convention ????

If the Senate were chosen by state legislatures, Republicans would have 65+ seats.

Look who is running the corporations. There is a new generation in charge and they are going to change the way you live.

Most corporations are nothing more than socialist Petri dishes. Corporate HRs and lawyers are the little dictators and enforcers.

look at where wealth lives in this country.. it’s very concentrated in blue areas. That’s who they are courting. Levi’s has been a fashion brand for decades now, the last cowboy left the building a long long time ago.

These outrage articles are clickbait... everyone including the author knows why corporations who produce fashion goods support left leaning causes.

You know who won’t come out supporting crazytown and stays away from politics generally? Anyone producing durable goods...

mewzilla :" It would be interesting to see if any of the boards are running thus SJW crap 2by their big investors before they do it.
Or if their investors were the ones doing the suggesting."

I believe that the 'Clinton Machine', and the Obungler computers hold the names and emails addresses of a number of 'libtards',
who volunteer for just this type of Social Justice Warrior activity to convert and dupe large corporations into financial support liberal causes.
Doubt that.. ? Then check back to the Dept. of "Just-Us" run by Obungler,
who relinquished Fed. fines for corporate financial contributions to SWJ organizations.
It doesn't matter what you call it. It is still known as extortion !
Add to this list, the number of electronic internet bots and non-existent farcebook, titter, accounts, etc.,
and then you are talking serious numbers of contacts that would make a corporation CEO & accountant's head swoon.
It matters little that there is no person behind those emails, because financial extortion rule through fear, not logic
and few corporations are willing to fund the time and expense o verifying whether the accounts are real, or not.
