Too late. Make an example out of them that is taught in business schools for the next 100 years.

It’s the only way out of this.

100%. Saved money on printers cost just needed to change logo and change a few words in body.

And although equipment buying has been up the past several years, costs are up even more and farmers are reducing their spend. Fuel is higher. Interest rates on new purchases is higher. Crop prices lower. This is why they are doing it, can’t afford to lose too many buyers in a down market.

Not doing it due to beliefs, only due to needing those buyers to sustain in a down market.

Not all the way...

Tractor Supply said this:



JD's still leaving a bunch of the heavy shite in there. Saying:

quote:

Auditing all company-mandated training materials and policies to ensure the absence of socially motivated messages while being in compliance with federal, state and local laws

and
quote:

We fundamentally believe that a diverse workforce enables us to best meet our customers' needs and because of that we will continue to track and advance the diversity of our organization


To me that sounds like they're just telling you what you want to hear now and absolutely nothing is gonna chance.

You gotta get the DEI and Human Rights Campaign bullshite out of there if you really want change.

You idiots already paying top dollar for shite made vehicles, that came from Mexico and Central america by peasants making a pence. And they raised the prices on you, wahahahahahahahahahaha

Absolutely!

US corporations should move all US manufacturing and industrial production to China, Mexico, Taiwan, Viet Nam, etc.

This ^^^^^ would benefit working class Americans and reduce the potential disruption and shortage of products that are critical to the US economy and consumer.

Signed,

Absolutely correct. Until they purge their BOD of leftists it will be more of the same albeit not quite so overt.

John Deere's biggest owners are the institutional investers ie blackrock. theyre never gonna actually do away with the esg nonsense because it is being pushed from way up top.

Microsoft fired a lot of their DEI teams.

Companies are realizing that DEI is better done by consultant.
Employees in HR who do DEI often try to burn the company to the ground and harm white males.
They try to push their religion.

Consultants don't do that...

Indeed, they failed to pay attention to the FA/FO scale even after TS put on a clinic.
