    Stanley, Black and Decker, and Dewalt have a vaccine mandate for at least some employees. So do they get a pass like so many others I listed or do they get the Carhartt treatment?

    Disney made my list a long time ago. They are on the leading edge of wokeness.
    It still amazes me they still keep that below the radar of so many conservative families. But I have several friends that only allow their kids to see the cartoons of the 50’s-70’s. Funny thing, it was the parents that saw what was in the Disney stuff, not the grand parents…

    Now what do we do about Timberland, and North Face?

    The parent company for The North Face, Vans, Supreme and Timberland brands will begin to fire all U.S. office-based employees on Jan. 31 if they have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19., a company spokesperson confirmed to FN earlier this week.

    Good grief. Give it a rest.

    Yeah, it gives new meaning to the phrase "beating a dead horse".
    The purpose of this thread was to identify the companies imposing vaccine mandates on their employees presumably so INGO can do something. Do you have anything to add that fits that purpose?

    Or are you afraid of more posts in this thread identifying your own sacred cows?

    It looks like a pic of the store rack.:):
    ya I lost a bunch of weight and had to buy a new jacket (the camo one) then i gained some weight back and it no longer fits that great. the newest looking detroit jacket i bought last fall because I wanted to try no hood (i also own a black one but i forgot about it), the green one also last spring for early spring fishing for random rain.

    That's not the tenor of your posts in this thread and you and everyone else knows it.

    I realize that we cannot possibly boycott everyone that has a vaccine mandate policy and function in this society. I was trying to understand why INGO seems to go after those that seem closer to us than they do others.

    It came to me last evening that INGO in general seems to expect more of Carhartt than they do Nike, so when Carhartt fails to live up to that expectation the rhetoric gets pretty high. But the truth of it is Carharrt is just another clothing corporation and it is unrealistic for us to expect more of them than we do any other clothing Company.

    Would you be more P.O.ed if you found out your wife was banging some dude you didn't know or one of your buddies? It's kinda like that.

    I'm making my own from now on. Hand stitching pieces cut from the Harbor Freight some conservative, veteran owned US canvas manufacturer drop cloths for the exterior and for insulation I'll stitch in US surplus poncho liners.

    Gonna start carving up a set of wooden work boots as well.

    I understand why people are more upset about this one. It’s like realizing that flirty stripper doesn’t actually think you’re cute and funny. Maybe this is just a good reminder that big companies are more interested in profits than shared values.
