Boycott Home Despot!NOW!
It has been years since I've set foot in one of their stores, and it looks like it will be decades before I do so again.
From Yahoo Finance:
No corporation can truly claim to be on the side of democracy while they throw money at the election objectors in Congress who tried to finish what violent insurrectionists started, Accountable.US president Kyle Herrig said in a statement after the latest numbers came out.

But thanks for the reminder. It reinforces my resolve to never patronize these anti-Democratic stores.

(3,361 posts)HD spent millions trying to separate it's story from retired founder, Bernie Marcus.
His legacy of radcal right-wing activism left a stain on corporate culture.
Most major corporations (AT&T, State Farm etc) participate in ALEC...an evil cabal of corporate radicals dedicated to preserving and concentrating wealth through the maniplation of political power. Home Depot is among the worst!

(85,636 posts)As do many of my neighbors. One of the founders owns a whole bunch of property in my county and is trying to acquire more but the local won't sell to him anymore. He has a high end dude ranch close by and lots of tfg's friends and relatives go there as do some of pootie's buddies. It's really a small world for them.

(2,383 posts)Big companies tend to support Repubs because R's are perceived as supporters of business.
Local is the answer when it comes to hardware... and lumber.
The local guys have answers to questions, too. And suggestions, even.
Ever buy lumber at HD? Fucking airplane propellers... with splits and knots! Our local building materials store has actual, decent wood. Prices are higher, but when you build with shit, you end up with shit.

(5,057 posts)saying I am done with them and why. And that they will stick with that sedition caucus because that is the party that gives them the big tax breaks. And that I am telling everyone I know about their position. And SHAME ON YOU
