Columbia and Nike plan to fire unvaccinated employees

[bobzilla]

Not the correct question. Has anyone purchased a Ford since they mandated the vaccine and fired people is the question you want. It would be stupid to sell a vehicle you already had.

I’ve never owned a ford product new. I had a tempo 30+ years ago

I bought a SHO back in 2013. Traded it in 2016

Some act as if the members here are screaming for an organized, advertised, national boycott. I haven't seen anyone doing anything like that. No one has claimed that INGO members avoiding a specific company is going to bankrupt them or that we're teaching some great lesson to the evil corporations.

Maybe we're reading this differently, then:

Pick the weakest of the herd and separate them. Once you hurt them financially then you pick the next weakest. It’s about gaining steam and continuing to move forward. I don’t care if carhartt goes out of business, there are other clothiers that will still be in business.

Ok, please explain to me why many of these threads are often about companies that supply much needed equipment to many INGO members? Most of the companies in my list have had their policies for months but there was no thread about them. Why?

They are not bedrock principles if selectively followed…

I do my best to make a play on the ball only if it’s on my side of the court. I do not make choices for anyone else on this rock. Doing nothing unless it is pure sounds like a good way to do nothing. All opinions

Those that directly attack the second amendment are not what I’m referring to here.

So you’ll boycott a business for certain things, but are critical of people who boycott for their personal reasons? Doesn’t make sense.

In another thread this was said.

I have a some of their stuff. I also used to go to rural king and buy the walls branded stuff that was just as good for half price years ago.

Walls is owned by the same corporation as Dickies and has the same policy…

Now whose workwear are we buying?

 

[bobzilla]

So I buy used Korean cars, I shop at Walmart. I haven’t purchased anything on credit in 10 years. I’m not the norm. I’m not pure. I’m a hypocrite and I don’t give two ***** what a keyboard warrior thinks about me and my purity. If I disagree with something then so be it. Like it not not I don’t care. I don’t answer to your purity scale and if you were to tell me in person the answer would be the same: **** off.

Demonstrating the futility and hypocrisy of it all…

And you missed the response apparently. It was 30 years ago. So I guess that makes me another unpure pos.

 

[bobzilla]

Also apparently the word filter is broke.

You seem to be yearning for a pissing match for some reason.

 

[Ingomike]

I couldn’t care less what you guys buy or boycott. But I will point out the futility and hypocrisy of it all.

 

[Ingomike]

Sorry, some cannot handle the truth.

 

[Ingomike]

Lost of folks think they should be boycotted.

Who owns Carhartt? Calls for boycott of apparel brand after it enforced vax mandate

Carhartt CEO Mark Valade sent an email to staffers stating that the company will require workers to be fully vaccinated against Covid by February 15

For the record again I am against their mandate. A boycott may work here because they are still privately owned. If the boycott doesn’t work it may kill them off.

Just pointing out that alternative brands have similar policies to those of Carhartt.

 

[ghuns]

If it makes any of you feel any better, Starbucks has just reversed it's decision to require all employees to get vaxxed...

Great. I believe the phrase “bless your heart” applies here.

 

[Ingomike]

Great. I believe the phrase “bleed your heart” applies here.

Never heard that one…

 

[bobzilla]

Stupid phone. It’s another one of those bad people companies. Bleed=\=bless

 

[gregr]

I’m going to make my point clear and distinct. If you are boycotting Carhartt, and get in an Uber, paid for with your Citi card, to go to the airport where you have a Big Mac while while waiting to board a southwest flight to Vegas to stay at MGM, you are a hypocrite.

As stated earlier this is about a private company and their vaccine policy, not an attack on our second amendment rights. Most of you don’t run a company and have firsthand knowledge of the pressure that can be put on these companies. It could be as simple as their insurance or legal counsel told them they had too. And to sheep that doesn’t seem a big deal.

I`m sorry, but I disagree with you on this. I don`t think it`s hypocritical ion the least. You yourself said, it`s nearly impossible to boycott everyone whose doing the same thing, or close to the same thing. So then, pick out those that you feel are the most egregious in what they`re doing. Boycott them until you decide it`s time to move onto someone/something else. I feel better about doing something, than doing nothing.
