I’ll have to make my last official visit retroactive to about 5 years ago.
I have the totally realistic and cynical belief that the Starbucks, NFL, Nike, Amazon, Google and Kohl’s CEOs weighed the pros and cons of money for going one way or the other. Could have all said “We support good causes as individuals but sorry, we are not endorsing political candidates, parties, or social justice causes as a company. We remain neutral.”
Thus they must have worked out that you, the other FReepers, our friends and I are all worthless to them. Don’t exist. They don’t need us to make money.
And young people like them more if they hate and denounce us all. Boycott? Even the NFL fans like conservative radio guys Bill Cunningham are talking about team matchups of the NFL again. Phooey. No NFL or NBA or Kohl’s for me. My .0000001% of their monthly profit is gone. Maybe Bloomberg can tip them a little, maybe $100 million or so.
