We're living in a country where businesses that have reaped enormous benefits from capitalism, are supporting a movement that happily identifies as Marxist out of fear that if they don't, they may get called a bad name. 'Support our cause that embraces an ideology that has led to 100 million deaths over the last hundred years or you are immoral!'

I have heard that the next step will be withholding tips at dining establishments.

It's a no-win situation for a business, for sure. My company is 25% black, 25% latino, and 50% white. We hire women. We hire PoC. We hire gay people. We hire old people. We hire felons. We hire whomever. If you can do the job, I will hire you and I will treat you the same as I treat anyone else.

Just had an incident yesterday at my work involving this and I'm a little pissed. I had an employee put a BLM and Pride sticker on one of our company vehicles. For the record, I'm politically moderate and my needle is a little left of vertical. I'm all about Pride and understand what the core BLM movement is about. That said, as a business owner I will not allow any of that stuff on my company vehicles.

I had to sit the employee down and explain that I removed the stickers because our company is apolitical. We have a job to do and that job doesn't require any political statements. Like it or not, the stickers carry a charged message and I don't think a company has any business getting involved in those things. Well this employee did not take my explanation calmly. He loudly took offense and got all bent out of shape and accused the company of not supporting him. He's still bent out of shape this morning. We'll see where this goes. Probably nowhere good.

Put a written policy in place about banning the use of personal or outside company marketing materials on company property/uniforms.

So boycott them.

Not sure if people remember but CFA was boycotted for standing up for their beliefs and in one month, stores made like 6 months worth of money

I hope they publish a list of companies they are boycotting so I can know the companies I will be supporting.

The thing is that the large companies are owned by conglomerates that stay out of the picture. So company A make a decision with that you disagree, so you buy from company B, while the woke now buy from company A.
Conglomerate owns both, nothing lost nothing gained.

He might be emotional, but he's anything but useless. He's one of my best installers.

That's unfortunate since I believe most of the business owners in this country feel the same way you do. The radical left and the radical right (who are a lot less vocal) are inconsolable and the MSM doesn't make it any easier.
