NOOSECAR will keep running Badyear tires to show how woke they are.
Simple solution...police organizations should ban the use of woke Goodyear products
I really, really, really, really, want Goodyear to suffer for this.
An apology is not enough. They can’t just fire the trainer. They need to be put out of business. I’m tired of big business kowtowing to every radical, ignorant, ideology pushing, left wing S***-bag group.
We’re looking for a second automobile. I won’t buy a new car if it has Goodyear tires on it from the factory.
I agree.
So, Goodyear is run 100% by the HR Department. Very good. I thought they made and sold tires. Silly me.
Thankfully, I do not use their products.
Again thankfully to this article, I’ll let EVERYONE I know that they should tell Goodyear to shove their wokeness up their bit well-used *sses.
Their job is to make tires that people want at reasonable prices and make a profit. Don’t see any “woke” bull Obama excrement lurking in that simple description.
Shove it, Goodyear. May your blimp fly up your nose.
In 2020 it’s rare that any company is NOT run by it’s HR department.
Sad but true. Millenial women from Leftist indoctrination universities imbed themselves in HR and Marketing, where they proceed to lead the CEO around by the nose.
I asked the people at the service desk what brand Ford is putting on new cars and both people thought it was Goodyear.
Anyway, if police department started specifying "Not Goodyear" when buying new department vehicles, that would hopefully start a trend.
Goodyear has said that the message “didn’t come from corporate,” but the person at the field training sessions disputes that. Goodyear has not clarified who wrote that despicable slide in the training deck and certainly has not disavowed it.
I sure yearn for the old days before this “Lives Mattered” crap started when it was an unspoken truth that every life given by God was valuable. There was a time when nobody in the country disputed that. To say only “Black Lives” matter is to subtly suggest the opposite is true, that White Lives don’t matter. It’s a short jump, ultimately, to the conclusion that whites should be exterminated.
What really pisses me off is that the whole “Black Lives Matter” movement is built on the tissue of lies of police brutality and “systemic” racism.
Even worse, the lives of unborn babies don’t matter to Democrats at all.
In recent years, when the various police organizations and leaders have come out against the nonsense being tossed out by the left, has it really accomplished anything? Has it reversed any of the decisions they are voicing their opposition to?
“So, Goodyear is run 100% by the HR Department.”
And plants by the union.
Overall, Goodyear’s policy could be considered “anti-American”...
By extension, General Motors is also anti American for forcing Good Year tires on car buyers
Or , negotiate the sale and then insist the antiAmerican Good Year tires be replaced with eequal tires by another manufacturer.
Make the dealer feel the pain
Black Tires Matter.......................
Will Goodyear lose the Blues? They should. The Reds, too (fire departments).
Stupid is as stupid does. Get woke, go broke. Reality sucks for proggies.
Dennis Slocumb, International Political Director and Vice President Emeritus of The International Union of Police Associations (IUPA), a major police union, has used Goodyear’s statements to determine the company’s values. He said, “Goodyear is a profit-making corporation and that’s the decision that they made. We support the First Amendment, of course, but that’s fine for them. They have a choice of who they’re going to support. Our members, and those who support our members, have a choice of where we buy our tires.”
To police officers, a rejection of “Blue Lives Matter” is not merely a political stance, but a callous statement of disregard for their lives. “To see today, a company that has made millions of dollars off police officers publicly declare that they don’t care about their lives, their very lives, that it’s unacceptable for an employee to support their beliefs is just disgusting,” Johnson said. “At the same time, the company says it’s OK for their employees to support a group that calls for the murder of police officers. It’s just disgusting.”
Andrew Smith, the chief of police in Green Bay, Wisconsin, put the anti-Blue Lives Matter sentiments in perspective, remembering the police that have died in the line of duty and how the slogan refers to lives that have been lost.
“There’s been lots of talk about the Goodyear and Black Lives Matter business. I refer people to the Officer Down Memorial Page, which reports all of the officers that have been killed. We lost 159 officers from the United States in line of duty deaths this year so far. That’s more than last year, and I guarantee you that every one of those blue lives mattered,” he said.
Police deaths in the line of duty are up 64 percent from last year. Further, the number of lives lost so far in 2020 already exceeds the total deaths of last year.
