Make Meritocracy Great Again

Not enough John Deere.

Walk away.

Walk completely away.

[bigbob]

Pretty stunning, really.

It will be very interesting to see if public companies who aren’t as directly tied to “Trump country” as Deere and TSC will be making similar moves. (Especially since they were so quick to embrace this BS).

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Winning.

Farmers and ranchers need to demand that these Agricultural companies hire from the population of their customers. That means they hire people from small towns and rural areas and totally put into this DEI crap in the garbage bin. If the companies don’t then they can go bankrupt.

[NWFree]

Only because they started feeling the heat from customers

[DesertRhino]

They are still moving to Mexico and screwing farmers with the right to repair policies.

Hope they go under.

[T.B. Yoits]

Too late. They’ve shown who they truly are.

[Newbomb Turk]

They are laying off Americans and moving production to Mexico so they can count on me not buying anymore of their products.

I'm in farm country and Deere is big here but from the coffee shop discussion they screwed up massively on this one..

Hope they get the Budweiser, AMBEV treatment.

Told the wokester Ye shall reap what ye have sown.

“A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”
(Galatians 6:7–9).

[dynachrome]

“wink, wink”

[griswold3]

Stay in your lane, John Deere.

[Scrambler Bob]

Do I still need my Juan Deere hat?

[politicket]

Do I still need my Juan Deere hat?

Only if you have a scarecrow in your field needing adornment.

[Bonemaker]

Too late...give them Bud Light treatment.

[central_va]

They put Americans out of work and moved their factory to Mexico. Screw them.

[Bonemaker]

It’s the CEO class of filth pushing this crap.

[central_va]

They are still moving to Mexico

Didn't you see them announce John Deere is lowering their prices by 10% now that they are Hecho En Mexico!!! Viva la Free Trade!!!

I'll check back with JD in five or ten years and see if they've sufficiently scrubbed away their wokeness. In the meantime I'll check out their non-woke competitors.

It seems like just yesterday that I stopped doing biz with Bed, Bath and Whatever.
