There was a Chinese couple and their 2 kids murdered in their house about 3 miles from my house here in Cypress Tx. It was in either 2012 or 13. They ran a small business somewhere in Houston. There was no robbery, no one had any film of the killers on their neighborhood security cameras. CCP or Chinese mafia?

It's Northern California and Silicon Valley.They are very liberal / progressive. Same with Apple. Have you ever met a mid management type at google? I have, to call them liberal is a stretch. More like rabid utopian quasi socialist progressive.A person from the South or Mid -West has no reference point. You only think you do. My cousin lives there and she was died in the wool Republican Libertarian type . But after working there for 10 years in the IT world she brcame beyond crunchy.

IMO, the easy answer is that too much credence is given to social media. Social media platforms, for whatever reason, tend to be left of Karl Marx.

i think they do. they just don't broadcast it as much or get their voices amplified.

i boycott plenty. patagonia, rei, north face, (i consider myself somewhat of an outdoor enthusiast, so that actually does hit home a bit,) Nike, Coca Cola, Starbucks, NBA, Dicks, to name a few.

i genuinely spend none of my money with them any more. when my kids needs cleats or baskeball shoes, i steer them away from Nike.

it's not like Under Armour, Adidas, Outdoor Research, or Columbia don't have their woke moments too. They do indeed. They just haven't pissed me off like the above mentioned ones have.

Just watch and see how leftist and progressive Big Business really is when they are confronted with the union organizing their employees. Hypocrites! But the left has no idea.

Because capitalism here isn't suppose to allow monopolies. Since they are the big boys and because they don't want competition they support the dims who are in favor of destroying all small businesses. So as to take away your independence.

Because the RIGHT don't threaten, fight, and are generally a bunch of total pussies at the top. Typically

It takes true marketing genius for corporations to put a SJW turd in their customer's punch bowl.

You chase the least wealthiest demographic at the expense of the wealthiest.

I understand some marketing trends going towards Hispanics, but you are chasing a poor demographic that makes bad financial decisions that has the lowest life expectancy. Bad marketing right there.

You're right, they don't need our business. The dems will fund them with a stipend. Total command economy coming: NPR loses money, but they subsidize it anyway.

The KGB has been infiltrating leftist groups in the US since WW2. The Chinese have gladly picked up where they left off.

yep, look what happened to the founder and CEO of Firefox when he exhibited some conservative tendencies. The rest of the board rose up against the man that made them and kicked him to the curb arbitrarily. No one can tell me that they weren't put up to it by some very powerful force outside the company.

Big business goes left to prevent little business from becoming big business.

Instead of having to compete, they get the government to make it impossible to compete against them.

My 2 cents:

Social science is far left. When major corporations hire groups to decipher shifts in target demographic opinions they're hiring mostly progressives. They're heavily biased and push far left bullshite. Corporations, not knowing any better, follow along.

This is what’s behind 90% of the bullshite.

It’s about the money. We are in a class war being waged by those at the top against those in the middle.
