Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, X, Tesla, Sweet Green, Chick-fil-A, etc.
Google/Facebook: spyware
Microsoft: Windows is spyware and I’m just done with Windows. There are many better options for software.
Reddit: CEO is a prick. Gone the way of Facebook
X/Tesla: CEO is a prick, racist and anti-semite
Sweet Green: CEO blacklisting students for protesting war
Chick-fil-A: Run by far right bigots
Add In-N-Out and Hobby Lobby to that.
I meant to add In-N-Out… but I do avoid it, mostly because the food isn’t good and is all over hyped.
Never been to Hobby Lobby
I'd say that my wife is boycotting Hobby Lobby despite crocheting a ton, but that would imply that she's shopped there in the past. Still, we'll occasionally pass by one and laugh about how we'd never go in there.
and Domino's.
I always find it interesting when people target Chick-fil-A... Like why them specifically and not all the others? Especially the other companies that go all rainbow in June and have spots in pride parades. https://www.dataforprogress.org/accountable-allies-pride
TIL Microsoft is better than I expected, they only donated $2,000 to anti-lgbtq
Wtf... Where can I read up on that?
Usually how these things work is that it's either employees donating and having to list their employer. Or the employer will match any donation to a non profit from any employee up to a certain amount.
So this could be 1 employee donating 3k and Microsoft matching it
Ouch. Code of conduct may need a review over there in Redmond.
