Are you doing them all or just selective? I can’t know what you do in real life but I do know the typical in real life, people threaten a bluster but do not follow through. It is easy when this is one or two companies but in five minutes I made that list, can you imagine if someone worked on it?Well....... you do you. When a company starts to actively work against my interest. Fxxx em.
It's possible to make simple choices where you can without hurting yourself.
If you only do it where you can, you “are unwilling to introduce the slightest inconvenience to their pampered life” Was what I was told…This attitude is why we continue to lose to the left. Conservatives say boycotts don't work as a way to hide the fact they are unwilling to introduce the slightest inconvenience to their pampered life.
Being unable or unwilling to do everything is not a valid excuse to avoid doing anything.If you only do it where you can, you “are unwilling to introduce the slightest inconvenience to their pampered life” Was what I was told…
So we only have principals when it is easy? If you say company A must be boycotted for X, then as soon as you know company B is doing the same thing to not be hypocritical you must do the same. That is why I’m telling you all this is silly in the world we live.Being unable or unwilling to do everything is not a valid excuse to avoid doing anything.
You call people "sheep" for not standing against something, and then you call people "sheep" for standing against something.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.
You misunderstood me. A company mandating a vaccine in not a big deal to the sheep. Sorry I was unclear.You call people "sheep" for not standing against something, and then you call people "sheep" for standing against something.
No one is calling for a boycott. People are saying they have decided to use another companies products.
The reason is simple, they have a choice.
Should being unwilling to follow your principles in some cases preclude one from following their principles in any case? That's simply putting the ideal of principles ahead of actual principles. That seems more hypocritical to me. Perhaps selectively following principles does absolutely nothing, but doing nothing absolutely does nothing.So we only have principals when it is easy?

In all of fast food it was easy for the left to single out Chik Fil A, when society at large is doing it how can we realistically believe this is a sound tactic? Or is this just to feel good and like we are fighting back?

All or nothing thinking rarely amounts to more than an excuse to do nothing as far as I can see.
Because they're in twitter jail because of having already attempted to espouse freedom loving viewpointsSo why aren't freedom loving folks out causing a stink on Twitter?
I must confess that I am surprised you can even lift a brush that broad, to say nothing of finding a paint can wide-mouthed enough to coat itConservatives say boycotts don't work as a way to hide the fact they are unwilling to introduce the slightest inconvenience to their pampered life.
I'm stunned with how few of these companies I do business with. Most by choice. Some due to circumstances beyond my control, like NBC. Dish and NBC are in a pissing match, as such no NBC for me. Of course that means no BigAwsomeBowl that is Super will be broadcast at my house this year. Bummer. I would like to do business with a new F350, but Ford thinks they're worth more than I think they're worth. It's difficult to adhere to an absolutist boycott. But I do what I can when I can. And I do it for me. McCorporation may continue to serve billions. But they will serve me zero.If we are going to do this, let’s do it right. Here is a list I came across.
So toss those credit cards, American Express, and Citi, Bank Of America, Capital One…
No shopping at Walmart and TJMaxx…
No Big Macs…
No new F350…
No Yellowstone, Paramount owned by Viacom…
No TV from NBC and Netflix…
No flying commercial, Southwest, Delta, United…
No prescriptions, CVS, Walgreens…
No chicken from Tyson…
No rides from Uber or Lyft…
No healthcare from Anthem…
No dinner from Doordash…
No cell phone from ATT…
No UPS shipments…
Not even some Kraft cheese and Heinz ketchup…
Is this getting ridiculous yet? Why do we want to put those who produce things important to us like tough workwear out of business we sure are not going to make a dent in those listed here and there likely are thousands more. If not boycotting them all which ones do we boycott without being hypocritical? I think it is silly to boycott Carhartt over this…
From McDonald's to Goldman Sachs, here are the companies mandating vaccines for all or some employees

People start threads or don't for a variety of reasons. Lack of awareness is often enough the reason for not posting. Most of the companies on your list either have no viable alternative OR are not all that relevant to INGO. Neither is the case for Carhartt. A better question would be why should Carhartt be above reproach?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…
Wishy washy principals are not principals…People start threads or don't for a variety of reasons. Lack of awareness is often enough the reason for not posting.

They are not principles at all if they're never followed. Perfection is not a principle, it's a delusion.
I mean most of your list I’m fine with. But I’m still shopping at Walmart.If we are going to do this, let’s do it right. Here is a list I came across.

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.No one here has a Ford truck?
