I can't see a valid reason to shut us out of HD. I can only see being discriminated against because we're part of the Government.

A company the size and scope of Home Depot doesn't make these kind of decisions lightly, capriciously, whimsically, or arbitrarily - - this was a cold, calculated, business decision, possibly a year or more in the making.

My guess is that Home Depot believes that cutting ties to big scumbag government can offer legal protection from the politically correct (scumbag liberal) long arm of big scumbag government.

What's your theory?

I'm not sure I have one. I think this is either an old policy when the IMPAC system first came out and was very complicated, or they just don't want to do the paperwork for the tax free status.

The only theory I have is MONEY. I think it's one of the few voices we have, so I'll exercise mine by not shopping there until they realize it's just not nice being treated like dirt.

Our servicemen and women, and I'm one of them, are putting their lives on the line so HD can continue to enjoy the american way of life, but those same who would die in uniform to protect that right are not good enough to enter their stores and shop for their government? Not common sense to me.

Like Hechinger's, who supported gun grabbers, maybe the only message will be the bottom line. Hechinger's didn't get it until it was way too late. I don't want to see HD go the same route, but they simply won't be getting any of my personal cash.
