If NIKE wants to fight racism and slavery, they should pull their factories out of China and the 3rd world, bring them back to America, and pay workers a living wage. What an idea!!!

I believe we need to keep in mind that many in corporate
America are quiet never Trumpers.

They have invested in the idea of crony capitalism and Trump. to them, is a wild card who may take away what they have invested in.

Also, many of these corporate bureaucrats would never dare have their name as a donor to some leftist politician. But if they funnel money to Social Justice organizations who in turn give money to leftist politicians, then all is good.

This is 2020 campaign finance money laundering that will go, in quick time, through the “non profit” social activist organizations into the DNC and Biden’s campaign. This is led by Obama’s shadow government of former Obama officials now sitting on the boards and top officer suites of corporations.

You cannot buy good will. That kind of appeasement only gets you so far. Show a little backbone.

Verizon sucks. My phone on this overpriced, terribly unreliable wreck. They will be gone later this week, probably due to dropped calls and frequent and dumping calls into voice mail when the phone is on in my pocket.

Amazon has things I can't find elsewhere, but I just bought a $200 tool intentionally NOT from them.

United Health. Kind of stuck with them. That's it on the list.

So, that was what the rioting was really all about - shaking down corporations for money that will in part be funneled onto the DemocRats. Crooks gotta crook, I suppose.

Anti-white racism, pure and simple.

If it was the 1920s they would be giving the money to the Klan.
