These CEOs of these firms are largrly the same ones who lobbied to create the ICE we have now in exchange for tax breaks.
Ok, ICE can leave and then be dismantled and punished.
The only way to really do that is to have the administration stop conducting terrorism on the state. End the occupation, now.
Capital will always take the path of least resistance. These companies don’t give a shit, and just wanna make money. I wonder if any of these same companies gave money to the trump campaign?
Land Of Lakes is the only company on the list I’m (or was) a customer of, so they got this note from me today:
Been a proud Land O Lakes customer for over thirty years. Butter’s very important in my household. My mother, an elder with advanced dementia, may have literally had her life saved by the power of butter and apple juice loosening her impacted bowels and allowing her to return from the brink of death. I’ve been so grateful to butter, and to Land O Lakes specifically, for the overwhelming majority of my life.
So I do not say lightly that as of today, for the first time, I will be seeking alternative products for my butter needs.
The audacity of your CEO, Beth Ford, to sign an open letter in Minnesota calling for a return to business as usual the day after an American citizen was murdered in the street is just beyond appalling. A general strike is the last step before violent insurgency, and instead of encouraging it and ensuring the people of the United States that freedom and life are more important than money and power, she chooses to take your company in the opposite direction and seek a return to work? Do you WANT us to start shooting each other in the streets?
If Land O Lakes wants my business back, and the business of several thousand customers across this country, it will do the right thing and JOIN the strike, shutting down operations in Minnesota until the ICE agent who shot someone on the ground ten times in the back is sitting in a Minnesota jail cell.
It would be prudent to do so before I discover that competing brands of butter are as good or better than your product after all.
P.S. Notice is hereby given that you do NOT own all rights to a damned thing I said here, you are granted a NON-exclusive license to reprint or respond. Pretty disgusting that you would require that box to be checked just to receive correspondence. That’s the SECOND thing I found out about you today that gives me pause in terms of doing business with you.
Oof, that being a checkbox is… really disconcerting
Oh no, are they losing money ? Who will think of the innocent shareholders?!?
What I hear, “Let’s figure out a way to work together to achieve what’s going on without us losing money”
Let us all take note of the names, they’ll be important soon.
Fuck these companies. Get ICE out and shit will de-escalate.
No. Escalate like your freedom depends on it because it does.
General strikes work, and if you’re not in Minnesota this is basically a list of huge conglomerates not to buy from.
It’s not even that they’re the ones fucking up. They’re just the only ones in our capitalist society with the political pressure to get shit done.
We need to fix that, but to quote Heinlein:
Of course the game is rigged, but if you never play you never win.
Edit:
Also, if you havent canceled prime yet they give a survey and you can say it’s due to their support of trump.
You can’t trust name brand purchases due to fraud anymore, and the cheap stuff is on Temu/wish at 1/10th the price.
