So there is a new call to boycott HD.

Screw those pansies. I just ordered a new Tig Inverter Welder from HD because of it. I will swing by pick up my welder and maybe a new Ryobi tool for the collection as well.

Missing out on the apartment renter and flophouse squatter markets.

Yeah, they look like the home project types

I need more AC filters, a few hand tools, maybe some paint and HD is within walking distance of me. They're not losing this customer.

I ran over at lunch and bought some fence boards and some random hardware I needed.

Unfortunately I usually don't buy anything from half of the SJW corporations, Starbucks, Nike, Faceboob, etc. I just don't use them to be able to boycott.

But in this case, I can go buy some shit from Home Depot. I hope they sell out of everything!

They sure do. I wonder if they would help me install 5 windows. All of them seem very skilled.

When will this crap end? What will it take to bring it to a screeching halt?

What is SJ Warriors? A google search turned up South Jersey Warriors youth baseball!

"Social Justice".

Anything but.

It is properly called "Social Controls and Propaganda", and is but a part of how communists shape and control the masses.

when the individual SJW pays a very heavy personal price

and becomes an example of what will happen to other SJW's

Who cares what these people think?

There seems to be a very misplaced sense that anyone who doesn't agree must be wrong and should be shut down. That flies in the face of the constitution.

If the individuals or organizations calling for boycotting home depot want to call for it, then let them.

I have a daughter who works at home depot. I shop there regularly. I don't really care who their owner supports for president or any other office; that's his politics, his deal. I don't go there for his vote. I go there for filters, tools, nails, and parts. My wife shops there for plants.

If someone wants to make it their crusade to suggest people don't shop at home depot, let them have at it. Their desire won't impact my spending, and I don't really care about their politics. Let them talk.

A friend won't shop at home depot because the company has had associations with homosexual organizations. He shops at Lowes. That's fine. I shop at both, and don't really care about the corporate politics. Or those who do or don't like their politics.

As the saying goes, I may not agree with what they have to say, but will defend with my life their right to say it.

I was at HD this morning, 7 AM. I got home and saw the call for the boycott, put a smile on my face, F-Them. We're avid HD shoppers and will continue to be.

I like that HD supports veterans, 10% discount easily done at checkout.

We, like many of you, have a Home Depot across the street from Lowe’s. We prefer HD and enjoy their 10% discount for Vets.

Don't all of the SJW do their home improvement shopping at craft and nicknac stores?

Well, I am just about to buy a new stove and between Lowes and HD things were pretty equal, this just made my decision for me!

Well, just who here is stopping them? I see members who are saying that they're going to purchase this product or that to counter this nonsense. In no way does this interfere with the right of whiny leftists to refrain from doing business with the company in question.

Pledging one's support by patronizing a particular business- what's wrong with that? I find this to be a benign, reasonable reaction.

HD 10% discount is for military retirees, disabled, and active duty, not "regular veterans" (like me). Lowes has 10% discount for regular veterans, but you have to sign up for it. I worked at HD for 10 years.

A whole lotta knocking of heads I suspect. These morons are going to keep on pushing until a large group pushes back hard on them.

I liken these SJW nitwits to my nephew when he was 4 or 5 years old. His father would only put up with antics for so long before he tanned his ass. After that, he seemed to behave quite well. And interestingly, that kid is now 22 and a very well mannered, respectful, adult. There's a lesson in there some where....

I agree 100%. I'll be shopping there today.

I disagree, however, with the notion that heads need to be knocked together to make people learn. It's a free country.

Most of us vote with our wallet.
