I know your comment was mostly rhetorical, but I'll state the obvious answer: because the wokeists are mentally defective. They've been completely deranged by woke-think to the point that nothing exists for them that isn't woke rage.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

After holding "Republicans Are Racist" sale for MLK day, a Wisconsin spice company has lost a bunch of customers and is asking others to buy discounted gift cards to make up for the loss

I honestly hope this liberal douche ends up “woking” himself right out of business

I like to think the local Dick-headzey’s closed in Winter Park because the lost my (and other like me) business.

I use a lot of spices in my cooking, maybe $100/year… so may they rot in Hell.

His Comptroller has to be freaking-out, he's tossing out discounts left & right, throwing whatever forecasts they had out the window and screwing up their budgets. Always a problem with privately owned companies, where the founder is heavily involved, particularly if they've positioned themselves to be the 'voice/face of the company'

I don't wish for the cratering of a company, seeing that it would put a lot of people out of work, hope there's enough investors with enough brains to buy him out or, force him out.

I don't wish for the cratering of a company...

Oh, I do, I most certainly do. The people who would lose their jobs? Whose responsibility would that be?

It's not going to happen, but you're Goddamned right I want to see taht shit go out of business.

I hope they go broke in a rapid fashion. If there are any good folks working at that company they’ll have no problem finding a good job with an honest American company. However recognizing what a tool the boss is I’m willing to bet the employees are mostly like minded snowflakes that cheer every time their moronic boss fires out another hate filled dishonest email to the flock.

"In the letter, he said his aim was to anger Republicans in honor of the late civil rights icon."

Be careful what you wish for, fuckhead.

He ain't begging. He'll never miss a meal or a mortgage payment over this. Even if he loses half his customers, he'll still live pretty well and probably remain just as smug. But I'm glad he's gone full blown public over this, as I might have otherwise spent a dime there.

My leftard brother gave me a bunch of Penzey's stuff for Christmas. Good stuff so far. I used a bunch on the fried potatoes I made my kidds for breakfast this morning. I LOL every time I read the labels and the leftist brainwashing thereon. It's a pretty interesting insight into liberal mental gymnastics.

I believe in the first amendment for everyone, so feel free to blather your propaganda all over your product if you want. We're free to mock it or to not purchase/patronize it.

Screw that.

I used to love Penzey's stuff before I knew he was a full-blown leftist douchebag.

You couldn't pay me enough to use his crap anymore, instead I give his (normal) sister all my business over at the Spice House. The woman who publicly declared that she's in business to make money and not piss off one half of her customer base with insane rantings.

Penzey came right out and said to not shop his store if you voted for Trump.
Who am I to argue?
I've been using savoryspiceshop.com ever since.

Here's a link to a story about this guy:

I just hope McCormic stays out of politics.

I've used their products my whole life.

When I was fresh out of college I realized the importance of remaining as apolitical as possible in the work place. My boss once said to one of my colleagues that I was a liberal. My friend began to laugh and explain the different between liberal and libertarian. This was during an election year when the topic of politics was more likely to arise. This was also long before the partisan division had become so heated and rhetoric so spicy. Looking back I don’t think we had one political discussion spin out of control back then. I remember one religious debate getting a little heated but even that was resolved quickly and later became something we all laughed about. Man I miss that.

I can’t even begin to wrap my head around a CEO who does not realize the damage such in your face political rhetoric has on a brand image and bottom line.

In the end holding on to that rabid political anger and broadcasting it all over his products is only damaging himself and his company.

He must be the majority shareholder or the board of directors would send him packing like Papa John's pizza did to their founder/CEO

I kind of like that he's ruining his own company with his leftist psychosis.

The store near me in Raleigh went tango uniform in the past year or two.

I don’t know about you but I’m enjoying watching this leftist turd destroy his own company running his mouth like this.

The last two paragraphs of that article really make you go hmmmmmm.

“ Over the past decade, Penzey has repeatedly followed up controversial emails with offers for free spices in an apparent effort at winning back customers.

"As far as customers unsubscribing from his email list, that's only part of the story," the insider explains. "Many people have told us that they still get the emails, but only come in to our stores for free stuff ." “



They want freestuff!? If only someone could have possibly predicted such a possibility. ** my best sarcastic voice** I so am shocked and never imagined such a thing could ever possibly happen.

He puts this crap on the labels of his product? Oh no, I could never read that every time I go to use a spice. Trying to enjoy a meal and that is right there? Would make my food come back up.
