Idiots forgave Target and their stock went all the way back up and then some after first tanking

The Left, and Target, would like you to believe Target recovered from their fiasco. They lost a lot of sales and continue to do so. Their stock went up because of on-line sales and because they cut a bunch of losses, including all of their Canadian stores.

“Goodyear Chief Executive Rich Kramer said Thursday the company had clarified its policy..”

F you goodyear. Not the individual employees, but the despicable executive policy makers. Why don’t you stand up for what you believe? Which is censoring those with whom you disagree. You don’t have the balls to because you suddenly realized all the folks you look down on can quickly take their business elsewhere.

You just lost a good chunk of customers that won’t be coming back. Run your business like a charity for the left and that’s what you get.

” ... i do not like the cancel culture ...”

I don’t either, but an individual decision not to buy a product or patronize an establishment is not the same as an administrative decision to ban a speaker or cancel a show.

Too late and not good enough. Why was this policy implemented in the first place? He won’t ever answer that question.

Exactly, how many of those who run Goodyear saw the slide and thought it was fine until our President said enough of this.

I knew a guy some years ago who started 3 or 4 small companies over the course of his career. Each time, he started from scratch and then sold the company off when it reached a certain size.

I once asked him how he knew when it was time to sell a company after he had started it up. He said: “I always sold a company as soon as it was big enough to need a Human Resources Department. Once you have to deal with that crap, it’s not even the same company anymore.”

Black out the lettering. No free advertising.

Goodyear lied. Let's go to the audio tape!

CONTROVERSIAL GOODYEAR AUDIO: New audio reveals why Topeka Goodyear said All Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter and MAGA attire are unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/5MNo2EAH3w— NBC15 News (@nbc15_madison) August 20, 2020

So, only Blue Lives Matters, but not All Lives Matters?


I can see a MAGA ban, that’s a political slogan. But if Blue Lives Matter is reluctantly accepted, as you say, why not All Live Matter or Lives Matter. And if LGBT?? Pride is OK, is Straight Pride? If not, why not? Would Islam is Right About Women be OK?

Goodyears on my vehicles as well. The problem with this boycott is that the people it hurts the most are the small business owner/operators of Goodyear tire stores who didn't ask to be a part of any of this.

I agree.

From what I can tell (maybe some GY employees can add to the info at some point), the latest release from corporate was reasonable, marginally.

My worry is about American GY tire store owners and their employees and I would also not want the plant workers to be hurt either, if (and only if) the slide does not represent their true beliefs or culture.).

As an aside, I am curious as to whether the employee who composed and/or presented the slide might have been an attorney and/or a union weasel.

Weird. BTW, the dimwits at HR control many more things than you would ever think.

Very early this year as well.

Over the past few years, tires for both project jeeps. The project K5 needs new ones. That is a way off.
