1. If it was the only shop in town

I would order from Amazon instead

[malaise]

2. Just told one of my sisters that she has to abandon

Publix

[Thekaspervote]

3. FYI: just now In another thread..Publix gave to support the insurrection

[Wawannabe]

4. Please add HELL NO!

[Wicked Blue]

5. Cancel my subscription to the insurrection nt

[Hoyt]

6. Not sure that's an accurate characterization. Publix - a large employee owned company - didn't fund

the insurrection. The heiress might have, but not the company.

Publix is supposedly the largest employee owned company in the world.

I think we probably ought to separate the heiress from the company. Point is, I don't think Publix funded the rubes in Washington.

While the organization gave somewhat more to GOPers than Democrats, they still gave substantial sums to Democrats. In Georgia, they gave $1,000 to Loeffler and $5,000 to John Lewis.

I can live with that, unless anyone knows of an employee owned company, that is in most places, that does better.

7. Publix must publicly repudiate the donations of this heiress

otherwise the two will be tied together

[Hoyt]

9. Unfairly tied together, IMO. But that's America nowadays.

11. They get back eight to ten percent of their salary in stocks

They have no say in how the company is run or where their donations go.

[Hoyt]

12. Except the heiress paid this, not the company.

As far as I can tell, she’s not even on the Board of Directors.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. As I understand it employees get stocks in the company that comprises 8-10% of their salary.

That's a good thing. They have zero say in how the company is run or where the profits from their labor is donated.

[Hoyt]

14. If they own voting stock they do, plus this lady is not even on the

Board of Directors.

In reality, it looks like some of the family owns about 20% of the stock. That’s a big chunk as far as governance goes unless employees actively engage as shareholders.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. They would be DEAD to me and my entire family.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

10. I don't patronize any establishment that I know is owned by Republicans.

I don't buy products that I know are produced by Republican owned companies.

[Tom Rinaldo]

15. No, but that didn't happen with Publix

Essentially someone who inherited shares in Publix helped fund the insurrection. That is not the company. That is not the CEO of the company. Nor does this heiress own anywhere near majority control of the outstanding shares. The heiress should be judged by her actions, and Publix should be judged by its actions. It's not like Publix can confiscate her shares for violating the mission statement of the company.

16. The Jenkins Family owns 20% of Publix

Some majority-black counties in FL have no Publix.

I have boycotted Publix since the employees who own and run 80% of it donated to gun groups after Parkland, and who refused to pay for AIDs meds for employees.

They are still a RW company, majority employee-owned or not.

17. Is there a list of companies who backed the insurrection?
