Snip--The slide outlines that "MAGA attire," "political affiliated slogans or material," "All Lives Matter," and "Blue Lives Matter" are "unacceptable" in the workplace, while "Black Lives Matter" and "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride" are "acceptable."

Checked in on the 6 % drop looking for a bargain, found Goodyear trading in a normal range. This forum has terrible stock tips.

I think it's bordering on cancel culture. He's trying to redirect people's money to hurt a company financially over political viewpoints, as dumb as they are. That's why it gets close but doesn't cross that line. The line with cancel culture isn't merely people being urged to make their own financial choices to align with their values (individually), but the endless harassment of everything surrounding a person or company to simply destroy them, ruin lives to discriminate rather than convince to discriminate less. Examples of this on a company would be getting companies to ban their apps on their app store, harassing advertisers to not do business with them, attacking payment processors, domain hosts/ddos protection, registrars, third party developers, etc etc .. all because they either do their best to not discriminate or don't validate outrage authoritarianism. The Republicans unfortunately did do this around 2018/19'ish with the Breitbart, cereal, etc. things, and they were nailed for it rightfully. I won't forget it was perpetrated by people (eg Ben Shapiro, Ryan Saavedra, Charlie Kirk, a lot of columnists at the Daily Caller, Wire, and OAN) who claim to hate cancel culture yet got so caught up in the momentary frenzy they validated it.
