The list is very long and in reality it is very difficult to boycott many of them as a consumer, but it's not so bad to know thy enemy! If you are an investor your choices are easier to pick and choose https://thegoptimes.com/here-i...enda-corporations-2/ https://gopnewsfeed.com/fresh-...c%20EXECUTED%20(%23D)This message has been edited.

Not really into boycotting but thought I'd just peek for grins. Unfortunately, the sites listed have tons of ads that makes them almost unviewable. Clickbait is not your friend. I highly recommend ad-blocker when traveling through them. | |||

I just saw 2 separate lists on each link and as noted, this is damn near every company that many of us use regularly, but as noted, at least you know where they are coming from, right? _________________________ | |||

At least I didn’t see Sig, H&K, Ruger, Browning & all the other firearms makers on the list. It cuts down on the decisions for Christmas presents. | |||

Surprising to see Vertex on the list. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

So they’ve got Delta, United, American, and Southwest on the list. Uber and Lyft, Most car makers. UPS and FedEx, Amazon. I guess you’re just going to have to stay home and not order anything. Don’t watch any T.V. either. See, this is why these kinds of things are pointless.

While having such a list may make a lot of people feel 'informed' the reality that we see it is the corporate world has shifted its views on privacy and personal rights over the last 20-years. Hilary worked very hard while she was a senator, aggressively courting Wall Street, finance and mass media while giving lip-service to organized labor. Obama was the darling for all things media, a strong public speaker and a charismatic presence he was cat nip to all content and creative-types. 2020 was the balloon that went up, media and entertainment world jumped all over the anti-whatever zeitgeist and senior corporate leaders fell in-line as they couldn't come to terms that while Trump was aligned with them buisness-wise, they couldn't overcome the social backlash if they didn't fall in-line nor, would the progressive members of their board allow them. | |||

The cake is a lie! |
There are apparently several companies that use the name vertex. Which Vertex did you have in mind? | |||

Technically - you shouldn't even be here on the inter-web. (Microsoft and Apple both on the list) I think the more logical solution, as eluded to earlier, is to identify those organizations that share your values/beliefs and buy from them. | |||

Yeah, it's a laundry list. There are some that are truly despicable and which you can avoid easily (Patagonia, e.g.) by just getting stuff from their myriad competitors, others who are essentially unavoidable, and others which are so far from being 'far left' that it would the term 'far left' meaningless (Chick-Fil-A?) who are on the list for being merely imperfect. What they all are, rather than far-left, is over-reactive to pressure and threat of negative publicity, and capable of being driven by PR and fear to do stupid stuff. What might make sense, if you wanted to change their behavior, rather than trying to not buy their stock (which they will never notice) is to use pressure/PR to get them to clean up their act. One thing the left wing folks tend to do re: investing pressure is rather than not buying shares, they scare up an appropriately-named group to buy a few hundred shares, and then put shareholder propositions up before the annual meetings. That tends to get executive attention, fast. An example - they do the equivalent of getting a local church's retirement fund to buy 100 shares of Exxon and have them put forth a shareholder proposition for the annual Exxon shareholder meeting that they make their political contributions public. | |||
