I am curious how , if at all , Hertz Rental Car has paid for it’s dissing and rejection of it former relationship with the NRA and NRA members renting from Hertz ?
Hertz has really been coming apart since Kathryn Marinello took over as CEO in 2017 . Reservations tanking , managers lay-off’s company wide . And the hard tilt to the Left with the anti NRA embarrassment thing . They used to be Number 1 , but now the competition is cleaning their clock .
Is all that OK with their stockholders ? Let along the car renting public .
They said it wouldn’t hurt them.
If I were a CEO and one of my underlings approached me with an idea that would cost me a large percentage of my customers he’d be fired before he left my office. If he wasn’t fired, I should be fired.

CEO should be shit-canned. Any Board member objecting should also be gone. They have hurt the company and investors.
Killing off his company, losing $150 million.
Dick’s thought they were riding on the soccer mom market.
And hold onto your butts because now they dumped hunting rifles in their latest signaling of virtue.
You do stupid crap and you reap the rewards.
Edward Stack, Dicks CEO, should be fired by its Board of Directors. He should be sued by the shareholders for abrogating his fiduciary duties with deliberate and reckless misconduct.
Life is hard. It’s even harder for dicks.
Only Dicks still shop at Dicks.
Nope, they didn’t listen and now they have just SCHLONGED themselves!
Get woke, go broke.
I think they're mostly initiated at the HR level.
HR departments from what I've seen are an enclave of radical Leftism within large corporations. Unlike the other departments, their mission is not to make money to keep the company successful.
Their mission is to use the clout of the corporation to "punish the evil-doers" - ie conservatives, Christians, Republican politicians, etc ... even if this makes the company bleed $$$ and market share. To them, that trade-off is well worth it. They just have to disguise their intentions well enough to get the CEO level to buy off on their plans.
So they go to the CEO with a Chicken Little "Sky is Falling!!" narrative of: "We're getting badly bloodied on social media for not [blindly jumping onto the latest Leftist Bandwagon Du Jour]. We must do something quick, or we'll lose gobs of customers. Just look right here what twitter is saying about our inaction, and what Facebook is saying, and the mainstream media [ie HuffPost, DailyKos, Democratic Underground, etc]."
Any HR department worth its salt should be able to tell the difference between a cleverly disguised robotic attack, versus a genuine groundswell of discontent from real customers. Social media is their area of specialty after all.
But they'll be damned if they're going to point out to the CEO the difference between an army of angry customers versus an army of fake robots all controlled from one central website by a single person. So when the CEO's hear enough of this endless litany of Fake Bad News for too long, they often succumb.
I first noticed in the mid-90s that HR departments I was familiar with were very, very strong supporters of the LGBT agenda.
In the mid-00s, I noticed that the HR departments I was familiar with were now actually composed of homosexuals at high levels.
But now that the issue of same-sex marriage is "Settled Science" according to Anthony Kennedy, who with a single USSC decision, wiped out the "one-man one-woman marriage" laws of over 20 States, the HR Leftists have now moved on to the next items below that on the agenda ... eg the Constitutional Right of a dirty old man to "self-identify" as something else in order to gain access to girls in public restrooms, to name just one cause.
