I'm not going anywhere

34. I respect George's decision, and he is not wrong, BUT

I boycott Chick fila a because my dollars do not support bigot bird, I am not gay, but the same God that made them (whatever your belief system might be, I won't argue that) made me.

I boycotted Papa Johns, it might have cost him, what? Fifteen cents more on his Pizza to give health care to his employees? Even with healthcare, the cancer that took my husband's life cleaned us out of what we had both worked thirty years for first. But we still had a fighting chance because he had healthcare, we just lost the most important thing, him.

I still boycott Wal Mart because they were the first to start this work people full time, call it part time, pay no benefits, pay their employees as little as they can get by with so they have to rely on government assistance even working and hour or two less than "full time." Wal Mart became insanely wealthy enough on this system that they were able to buy the government that gave them trickle down. So now they double dip on both ends-they don't pay their fair share of taxes and those of us who do pay our fair share help compensate their employees so they can eat, receive medical care, and have a roof over their heads. I don't mind helping their employees, I mind supporting their grift. Oh, and shove that "people just don't want to work" crap, you don't deserve their loyalty but they give it anyway.

I left FB because of the toxic environment, Cambridge Analytica, and the Russian bots they knew and did nothing about, just like they knew the mental health risk of teenagers on line, but chose profit. Elon Musk is a misogynist, racist, fascist. The one thing he is not is a "free speech absolutist." He does not care about my free speech, he cares about his. And in his own Bond Villain cartoonish way, millions of people will see things his way, or else. I will not help him succeed in any of his endeavors. Fuck that guy.
