Just sent them an email stating they lost a 50 year customer.

Sent it to investor relations on their Corp website. Doesn't require you to give an email addy. With any luck a young, liberal arts major, girly man will be able to pull his hands out of his pants just long enough to thank me for my message.

If this were about Starbucks management I wouldn't be complaining or worried about their workers, I understand the political game of being concerned about voters in an election year but at the same time these workers and workers everywhere are being cowed by corporate wokeness threatening their livelihoods if they don't tow the corporate line.

Sometimes, presidents should just do the right thing because it's the right thing to do, regardless of the political consequences. It was right for Trump to call out a publicly owned corporation that arbitrarily punishes the reasonable expression of beliefs.

Correct answer.

I'm sure all of those 64,000 jobs in Ohio are VERY appreciative of our president meddling in private business.

Maybe they should have thought about that before including him (MAGA) in their policy.....

---

Or maybe Don should stop being a hypersensitive poon and realize that not everyone is going to think the way he does. And that private businesses can set policies as they see fit and shouldn't expect retribution from the government.

But that leads me back to the hypersensitive poon part...

What govt retribution was had in this case? A president displaying his opinion=/= govt retribution


A state suing a business multiple times for not following it's preferred moral code, like the baker in Colorado case, is government retribution.

Goodyear got Repubcanceled.

Expect more to come. We can play by your rules, too.

Back the police. If you don't, we will absolutely call your ass on it. Sounds like fun?

Are you really going to accuse us of hypersensitivity? Glass houses and all?

How many of those 64,000 appreciate their company meddling in BS that has nothing to do with making tires?

---

I don't know if you realize this, but the need to feed their families might just maybe outweigh how much they care about wearing a MAGA hat at work.

---

Because there are no other options you imbecile. They are being held by the balls by the multinational corporations and told to sit down and shut up. You don't see the issue here?

So they wouldn't give any thought to what provoked Trump's tweet? They must be completely oblivious.

---

Oh I'm sorry I got confused. OBVIOUSLY not being allowed to wear political clothing on the job ranks at the same level of thought as to how they'll pay their bills, or how this impacts their 401k with all those stock options.

---

lol you missed it again. BLM is political clothing, so it's not that the company is just saying no to political clothing, which would be reasonable. They are picking sides in the months heading into an election. That is dumb. That's the part where smart employees would ask WTH is their company getting themselves into.

I wonder how much of this "policy" was in relation to Bubba Smollette?

Sarcasm right? Dividend yield (rate) can go up 2 ways: 1) company increases their dividend (dollars) either by increasing free cash flow, or taking out debt, 2) company stock price falls faster than the dividend (dollars).

Neither one on its own tells one anything about the performance or health of a company. More likely, a dividend yield more than 3x that of the market's yield is a negative indicator.

I've never bought GoodYear, but honestly don't remember them ever being suggested. Is this simply coincidence or is there something there? Michelin? Sure, every time - we generally plan to by Michelin's. Bridgestone & BFG - if they happen to be on sale at Costco and I urgently need tires.

This is going to be like Dick's/AR-15 episode II. They may not even notice how it affects their revenue stream at first, but over time the effects will compound. Conservative customers will not forget this, and many will never buy from them again. Their CEO is now basically a lame duck unless they do something very visible to counter this. I seriously doubt that will happen though.

I hope this makes it crystal clear to all corporations and organizations that forcing woke BS on people will lead to a big loss in revenue and support

---

It won't. If anything it will embolden them.

What a world where its controversial to support the police, but no problem supporting the group that calls themselves Marxists and has a stated goal of disrupting the nuclear family.

How did big corporations get this stupid?

There's not a single one of them F16 and POTUS wouldn't happily sacrifice to prove a point, as evidenced by POTUS' tweet and this thread.

Seems to me this will go the same way as discrimination in college admissions. Corps will use skin color and gender to influence hiring and promotions until they are sued successfully, then it will maybe go back to being more of a meritocracy, as it should be. I think there are already examples of this cropping up, like the firefighters somewhere up in the north east several years ago.

Yawn, now do Clinton and jobs outsourced to China and India. Or Hussein and jobs lost not only overseas, but to illegal immigrants. Or coal miners, or people who worked in steel or paper.

The enviro-nazis want to put so many people out of work, I don't know how you have the nerve to even mention this issue.

A rising % dividend often means a lowering stock price.

Looks like that's the case

If you work for a company that takes away your freedom of speech then you are working for a company that takes away your freedom of speech.

Shut up and work.

Then its a real good time for the company to pick political sides.

1) I cringed when I saw what Goodyear was promoting.

2) I cringed when I read that Trump tweeted a boycott tweet. Presidents shouldn't do that. But, he's Trump, so...

3) "I'll allow it!" if it helps get rid of this idiotic penchant for companies to step into the political arena like this and foisting their idiocy on their employees. Goodyear's approach was FAILtastic, at best.

4) Goodyear is run by morons, evidently, at least in their Corp HR department, if they thought their plan was a good one.

Oh Bull*****

Look at the libs getting all ***** because they are getting a taste of their own medicine. They expect the right to put up with being cancelled and never respond in kind. **** them - put them out of business.

I love how this has our concerned moderates all in a tizzy with feigned concern for the working man, when the party they support has been, and is actively using the force of government to wreck the fossil fuel industry and put millions out of work. See the GND, pipelines, offshore drilling, fracking. But somehow the POTUS expressing an opinion about a company blatantly wanting to shut down only conservative political support is just beyond the pale.

Or maybe Don should stop being a hypersensitive poon and realize that not everyone is going to think the way he does. And that private businesses can set policies as they see fit and shouldn't expect retribution from the government.

But that leads me back to the hypersensitive poon part...

Expect more to come. We can play by your rules, too.

Back the police. If you don't, we will absolutely call your ass on it. Sounds like fun?

Are you really going to accuse us of hypersensitivity? Glass houses and all?

I'll accuse the president of it because he cannot let it go and is so insecure he cannot STAND the fact that someone might not like him. Pretty pathetic if you ask me, but if that's the light you'd like to be painted in, good luck, snowflake.

Someone doesn't like when the right uses the left's tactics against them.

What Good Year and other corporations are really doing is acknowledging that the weak minded libs that work for them cannot tolerate political expressions they don't agree with. It so upsets their fragile emotions that they must complain to HR, which is why we get these silly corporate memos in the first place. Corporations understand how petty and childish libs are and feel they must accommodate them. They are gambling that conservatives will just sigh and say "whatever" and go along. It's a strategy that has been working well for them.

someone is triggered.

Who said anything about Trump?

I'm glad he agrees with me on this, it's nice to have someone in charge that understands your views, but my opinion on Goodyear has nothing to do with Trump.
