Outdoor outfitter Patagonia will stop supplying Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) with inventory following one of the resort’s owners hosting a fundraiser for the right-wing House Freedom Caucus.

According to local, nonprofit news outlet WyoFile, Jay Kemmerer, one of JHMRs owners, hosted the fundraiser, which took place August 5. Several high-profile Republicans headlined the event, including President Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Admission to the fundraiser cost a minimum $2000 per couple. The event reportedly attracted protestors outside the venue.

I just gave my Pat coat to a homeless man in a rich sub division. It’s so stylish. hehe

Doing that if you have any Pat crap then taking a pic of the bum with the jacket and then posting it on the internet might be fun.

My Patagonia fly fishing sling pack is really nice.
I’m going to miss it. I hope Orvis isn’t woke.

Alienate 1/2 your customers. Brilliant business plan.

Maybe, I should go out of retirement and run focus groups and tout that Brilliant business plan!

If I could find sponsors dumb enough to pay me.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Oh my, what will that poor, helpless resort with give-or-take $300 million in annual revenues do if the mighty Patagonia company (of about the same size) doesn't want to sell their s**t there?

My guess is they'll pick from the other exclusive-excuse-me ski equipment vendors now lining up to take the Pata-Poofters' place.

Yeah, all you have to say to someone wearing Patigonia is “ Oh, isn’t that Patigonia? Thats so....retro I used to wear them years ago.”. People I’ll be ditching the stuff overnight.

Great idea! Will employ exactly that tactic every time I see it. “Patagonia, so old school, how nifty to see you youngsters wearing it, I don’t feel so old now.”

Imho, it is a blessing to know your enemies before conflict starts. Makes target selection easier.

Hope everyone writes them and tells them to piss off and just sell in Europe.

Lowered their sales, good. They should boycott many more and go out of business. They’ll be heroes.

They will only do selective boycotting. Just enough to make headlines and discourage businesses from catering to conservatives. If a whole bunch of conservatives stop buying from them, and actively protest them wherever they are, they will turn this down.

Do they have a store in a red state? Well, let them know how you feel... all of you.

Good. I don't want your evil liberal clothing at my ski resorts and Ted Cruz stopped wearing it, too.

Another traitor company supporting the traitors who just caused the worst defeat in our history. They don’t want the adults to be able to speak, it would show how utterly feckless these traitorous imbeciles are. This country needs an enema.

What will the media say when some fund raiser for BLM or Planned Parenthood creates a boycott against the fund raisers?

They will declare it racist and sexist.

Oh, but I forgot anything Republican is evil.

And you can always say sweetly “I didn’t know they were still in business”

Yvon Chouinard owns Patagonia; his facts are:

82, Ventura California is home, married, 2 children, estimated NET WORTH is 1 Billion, 2,300 employees worldwide, mountain climber.

Mr. Chouinard says believes in mixing business and politics.

So, let’s accommodate the Lefty. Let every freeper become a loud advocate for boycotting Patagonia.

My Patagonia jacket from 1985 is still my best jacket. Chouinard's book on Ice Climbing is excellent. He talks about how the best ice climbers in Scotland only climbed in "full conditions": freezing winter, freezing wind and freezing snow. Patagonia was as a good company in 1985. Chouinard would have meetings on the floor, employees would surf on lunch breaks and staff would backpack together in the High Sierras. Then around 2004 Chouinard became proud of his ecological insights, scolded Google for being gross polluters and became full-on leftist. He became proud and lost his patriotism. He is a success at sports but a loser at life, like Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong and Kobe Bryant.

Where are the stockholders of these corporations? They continually allow woke CEOs to alienate half of their potential sales base and make donations that take money out of their pockets. It is my belief that the problem is the result of fund ownership of stocks and the incestuous relationship between CEOs and fund managers.The individual stock owner has become an unwilling slave to the fund manager as fund votes easily cancel out individual votes.

What ever happened to “just bake the cake”. Seems awfully one way.
