I used to stay away from Twitter because I thought it was the most toxic place in the world for humanity. From the child porn to the political schemes to the drama that gets taken too far.

Elon musk bought it and he has been an advocate for the betterment of humanity since before he joined PayPal so I believe he's trying his best. I still don't think I want anything to do with Twitter though.

I'm also not too happy with Disney for a slew of reasons ranging from anti Semitic transgressions, it's overly woke initiatives, they're disrespect for the special status they've enjoyed for being such a loved brand. I don't plan on going out of my way to give them any money.

I don't like going to big chain restaurants either because they're usually set up to take advantage of people who are in disadvantaged situations.

There's a woman who bought the deli in my hometown and and she mistreat the workers who have been there for 10 years before she got there (not even 6 months ago) she's rude to her family too and I hate giving my money to someone who treats the people around them like how this woman does. Especially when she's such a bad businesswoman. Pretty sure her husband bought the place for her because she was bothering everyone at his restaurant in the city.

I'm sure there's other ones I'm not thinking of but I'm not really into the whole boycotting companies fad.

Don't have any it's not a thing that morally bothers me since I wouldn't say I support any and most are bad but it would be impossible to cut them all out if I wanted to live in a way that I like.

I more look at as just buy more from a company or support them if you do like them. And be less inclined than if you don't but buying something if you have to or just want on a small scale ain't gonna effect much.

Also I regularly buy what I collect that comes from a company I for sure can't say I like. And a lot of their actions recently have been just greed. I always go for the deals and never would spend on some clear scams they sell but I wouldn't refuse to just stop buying what I like to collect.

And don't get me wrong, I do think it's a good thing to object if you want. Like how I wouldn't listen to MJ on purpose.
It's just a private company becomes a bit harder than just a singer to avoid. Especially when most private companies are screwed up in someway.

The only company I refuse to buy from is junk food companies and over priced ones. I believe if a minority are bad in a group, that it does not mean the whole group is bad and I’m not wealthy enough to totally avoid companies with flawed practices in some sub branches of their group. I try to avoid nestle because they are unhealthy but once or twice a year is something I might do.

Aerissa_Jade · Accepted Answer

Walmart

Disney

Any woke company.

Most of my decisions are based on customer service experience though, as I have plenty of money I don't shop for the cheapest, lowest quality place. I go for better quality, better service.

I am completely okay paying twice as much to get good service somewhere else, supporting a mom & pop store.

Jimmy John's From Snopes in 2015: ========= Fact Check Is the Owner of Jimmy John's a Big-Game Hunter? Photographs show Jimmy John Liautaud, the owner of Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches, with animal kills from big game hunts. Claim: Photographs show Jimmy John Liautaud, the owner of Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches, on big game hunts. Rating: True ========= In 2016, Jimmy John said those photos of him were 10 years old and that he does not big game hunt anymore. I don't give a shit. You DID which makes you morally defective. Thus, I cannot support your business. In 2019, he sold it to Inspire Brands in 2019, so, now that Jimmy John has nothing to do with Jimmy John's, I should now feel OK about eating at Jimmy John's, right? NO! Inspire Brands should have known better than to purchase a tainted brand like Jimmy John's. As far as I am concerned, they are complicit. Furthermore, it makes me question Inspire Brand's upper-level management. That said, I will eat at Inspire Brands' other brands such as Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic Drive-In, Dunkin' Donuts, or Baskin-Robbins. Anyway, the bottom line for me is that I will not support Jimmy John's.

Walgreen's

Any company that lets their employees refuse to sell products, because of moral reasons, makes no sense to me. I'm all for religious freedom, but if you're a pharmacist that refuses to sell medication based on your morals, then you're in the wrong fucking profession.

Don't get me wrong; that's Walgreen's prerogative, and they can do whatever they want; I've no objection to that, and I don't hope they go out of business. I just choose not to get my products at a store where the employees may refuse to sell them.

If you won't sell the products, why the hell do you still have a job? That's like hiring an Amish person to sell cars, and then saying you respect his decision not to sell cars. Huh?

NamerOfStars · Answer

Amazon. I'm descended from men who fought at Blair Mountain, and elsewhere in the labor wars; it'd be insulting my ancestors who risked everything to improve working conditions for the poor to throw money to a company who seems to be doing everything it can to undermine them.

Also Sony. While I can accept that they didn't MEAN to have SecuROM destroy hard drives, it did; I know, I lost one. It's also a major detriment to video game preservation and history. This has NOT been easy, and more than once, I've discovered I messed up; that company has fingers everywhere.

Anonymous · Answer

I will never buy Gillette and many other man agree with me. They lost 8 Billion the first year they let a feminist asshat create an ad telling men they were scum for existing and I hope they continue to rot.

I also refuse to by Heinz products.
They closed there manufacturing plant in Ontario and put hundreds out of work to make their shit cheaper.
Frenches (the mustard company) bought the plant, rehired all the old Heinz staff and started producing Ketchup… so I only buy Frenches to support a company with a soul.

Chik-Fil-A, for donating to anti-LGBTQ organizations, and Eli Lily, for working with the other 2 major insulin companies to drive insulin prices sky high. Considering I’ve had a few family members die from diabetes, it’s a heartless endeavor focused solely on filling the pockets of the rich. The original inventor of insulin would be ashamed of what happened.

flautistnaturist · Answer

Thankful for the ability to walk free, yet still, the military. The thinking has occurred to me that if the whole of the good people on Earth were just to allow the evil ones to kill us, there would be little left of value on Earth, and God could finally just destroy it and start over.

All the wokest, anti-male ones. Disney Gillette Nike Bud Light Lexus Volition Netflix  ... To name a few. There are more alternatives out there than you think.

OddBeMe · Answer

Tyson chickens. Look up the video smuggled out of their chicken warehouses. They keep them fat on antibiotics so they can’t walk. In the dark so they don’t fight the staff when they slit their throats.

Chick-fil-A is a toughy. Great food. Horrible owners. But IBM created counting machines for the Nazi Holocaust. Chase, Wells Fargo etc, all crashed the economy and are still doing the same shit today. And Exxon mobile spilled tons of oil on separate occasions.

BJP21 · Answer

Any kind of Automotive Corporate chain. The heavy exploitation of autoworkers is nothing more than a revolving door of employees in and employees out. They put a cap on pay, over work you where.50cent raise is considered generous, lie to your face on bonuses and disrupt your personal life. The list goes on.

Tenebrae_mentis · Answer

Activision Blizzard. I used to play all of their games, but I stopped buying them after all of their scandals and union-busting. Made it easy since the quality of their products turned to shit, too.

matchrestore · Answer

Your two examples are good ones. I won't do business with either. There's also a few local companies who's ownership has made transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, or racist statements as well

AngryCarl · Answer

There are some I avoid. But if I'm honest my commercial decisions are based more on customer experience than moral considerations. How much do any of us really know about what these companies get up to?

Still-alive · Answer

hmm i guess walmart. but sometimes they have things i want.

i also tend to avoid doing one day deliveries with amazon because of all the bad reports of drivers being forced to pee in jars to make sure they meet their demand.
