re: Anyone still hold a grudge on companies for the way they handled Covid?

I’m more upset with the government than any business. Many businesses were influenced by an overreach that started with our own government. Many people didn’t know what to do and figured the safest thing to do was to listen to what the government said. You can never trust the government. But the simple fact is, shutting everything down in the beginning like we did, completely fricked us. And that was the government who decided to do that. I’ll never forgive them for that.

Imagine being someone who rolled over for daddy government and being proud of it. These are the same people that wanted you fined for the misinformation about CV19 starting in a lab.

I'm sure the people who are saying, "Let it go" were voicing the exact same sentiment anytime the Holocaust discussions popped up on this board. "That Elie Wiesel dude really needs to let it go". Right?

No. I don't see how anyone can still be bitter about it now. That shite was 4-5 years ago. Gotta move on and move forward.

One company in particular for me is Carharrt. I haven’t bought a single Carharrt item since they mandated their employees get the jab. I believe it will always stick with me and that I will never buy from them again.

Where do you draw your line? Do you buy products made in sweat shops with child labor? Do you buy foreign products in general?

If I worried about all of that shite, I wouldn't be able to do anything or buy anything.

I am not faulting you for sticking to your morals on this one, that is your right as a consumer.

Because it isn't a vaccine

I was pretty pissed at Carhartt too. A working mans brand that totally fricked the working man.

Others I still hold a grudge over for woke bullshite is Target and Anheuser Bush. I haven't bought a pair of Nike's in going on 10 years.

I’m fine with this is theory, but you’re selectively enforcing your own rules. You’re buying tons of products from companies that did the same exact thing, yet only choosing to take some moral stance against one

That's the thing, you would think that after a month into the pandemic there would have been some type of plan, but there was nothing. Everything was shut down and no one had answers.

It was an election year and the public was thrown to the wolves while the "leaders" (from both parties) sat back and pointed the finger at each other. No one wanted to make decisions because they didn't want the other side to take credit if things went smooth or blame each other if it went to shite, but by not doing anything, it went to shite and they were all pointing fingers.. and still are pointing fingers at each other.

And while nothing was being done and the public couldn't do anything but pick a side and die on whatever flag they picked, businesses were being hurt. The longer they waited the longer it took things to get back on track and for that to happen cost went up because the longer things were shut down the most money businesses lost so the more they marked up their prices when things started to open back up.

No one knew what to do and that was on the government. One day some type of information would be put out then the next day it was information that contradicted everything from the previous day.

I think the more rational people, who wasn't on social media throwing fits, one way or the other, just wanted to make sure they didn't catch anything that they could pass on to the olde folks, parents and other family members. But then you had people going insane if they saw a person without a mask. Then there were people who were going nuts if they saw someone with a mask. And anything that could possibly divide people did.

You take a winning football program and remove the head coach and the 4 or 5 leaders within the team... players who are leaders.. And then just tell them.. "okay go out there and figure it out", there is a good chance they wouldn't win a game. You can have the best facilities, all the talent in the world, but if you don't have the right people in position to put it all together it falls apart. That's what happened.

The people who were suppose to have a game plan, who was supposed to get everyone prepared, the people who were elected to be leaders in times like a pandemic said "okay, now that everyone is in uniform, yall go out there and we will sit back and watch from the locker room. And they sat back and pointed out everything that was going and blamed each other instead of going out there and doing their job..

But to make sure the team doesn't blame them for the problems turned the focus on dumb shite to distract everyone. "Look! The WRs are wearing wrist bands, but the DBs are not. That was the problem!"
