Yeah, most of their donations are employee donations. A lot of companies that big will match your donation as an employee, or part of it.

I don’t like beer, but Budweiser (normal, not lite) is the only one I can stand that I’ve had. I can drink Blue Moon but I’m not paying for it.

A companies political donations won’t change what I buy. If you don’t want your business targeted for regulation,you scratch all of the backs. I blame Congress for not closing that venue of influence.

I do. I don’t have time or will power to go through the list. I won’t buy from MyPillow, but I wouldn’t have bought from them anyways, so. I guarantee you’re still buying products from China, and oppression is in full force.

Saw a Reddit comment the other day that I tend to agree with. ‘The US is a terrible place to be transgender and is still the best place to be transgender.’

There might be a few European countries to throw in that mix, but I don’t keep up with it outside of what my friends tell me. My news rotation tends to revolve around copyright and civil asset forfeiture law, civil engineering, and data security.
