TSC is stupid.

But, bud light went one further, full ******. Instead of just trying to indoctrinate employees, they actually made an ad.

If TSC showed an ad with a farmer on a tractor in full San Francisco drag, it would not go well. At all.

"It's a big club and we're not in it!"
The banking industry has turned Fortune 500 administration into a plug & play game. The C-Suites conform and shape to the will of the large financial institutions who treat corporations like renters treat apartments (minimize expenses, exploit what you can, zero care for it outlasting your interest in it, and bounce the second something better opens up).

So these CEOs serve Wall Street and are installed by Wall Street not because of their fit for the business in question - but for their ability to deliver on the financial opportunity back to the investors. And those institutions for the past decade plus have selected smart, lefty, "business"men who will repeat the comforting lines as they extract the vitality from companies that better men created.

Why wouldn't he be? Do you really care if the store you buy fence posts from has internal policies you don't agree with? If that is really the case you wouldn't be able to shop anywhere. Even the most beloved "conservative" companies out there have some policy somewhere that you disagree with. It must be truly exhausting being angry/upset over company policies that have zero actual effect on you.

Funding drag shows that target children isn't some "internal policy".

It's always funny how leftists come on threads like this so upset about people being upset about something. "wHy dO yOu cArE sO mUch?" They never ask why the company cares so much about getting degenerates in the faces of children, or supporting all manners of degeneracy in the public square. It's always the people reacting that are the problem, right?

It's always "Republicans pounce" when we call out a degenerate.

First we lost the Catholics. Now we've lost Tractor Supply.

This!

Look at who their top institutional investors are and what those companies have as an ESG policy. Not too hard to figure it out with a couple of quick Google searches. Mark TSC off my shopping list.

Yep, when you see nonsense like this, you can bet it is to placate institutional investors and banks. It's also completely selling out. I have more respect for *****s working a street corner than these *****s that operate out of a c suite.

Until they do. Sorry, not sorry, but that's a very narrow minded assessment. At some point it will have an effect on society when people like you (yes, you) insist on hiring that pilot because of the color of his/her/their skin, their sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.

The "wHY dO YoU cArE?!" crowd would lose their minds if corporations were setting up pages about their Christian heritage, boasting about their % of Christians, or mandating training about how to respect Christians.

It's just another dishonest tactic from dishonest people.

1. Identify a respected institution.
2. kill it.
3. gut it.
4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.#lefties

How on earth are you coming to the conclusion that the fact that I don't care that a corporation spent less than a million bucks on something stupid will lead to me insisting on hiring unqualified pilots?

…because you're already rationalizing by moving goal posts. Evidence in bold.

It isn't a dishonest tactic at all. It is ironic that honesty triggers you so much though. Why is it so hard to believe that many people honestly couldn't care less that tractor supply spent a few bucks on a dumb cause?

Lol, ok. I will take out the $$ amount if that feels better for you. I still don't care what they choose to spend their money on. If they are convenient and have a decent price I will shop there, if not, I won't. Like I said yesterday, it must be exhausting getting so upset at all these companies that you dont agree with 100%.

bye bye TSC

pretty much most companies with a stock ticker these days do this same stuff

the difference is not all of these companies sell consumer products like TSC to largely conservative customers. glad I can easily switch to a local feed & hardware store over this stuff

---

...and the bolded part pretty well sums everything up.

Most non-casual high volume TSC "customers" prefer to buy their stuff at "real" stores like the local farm / ranch supply named Producer's Co-Op or some such. Wall Street thought they could commoditize this phenomenon across the country, thus Tractor Supply was born. It survived when these customers threw them a bone because they acquiesced to the convenience, and bought some of the inferior, yet acceptable crap at TSC to save a little time.

I've been one of those people for years, that's about to change. The insanity is that TSC leadership knows this and knows their customers don't need much of a reason to go back to their preferred vendor.. They have to.

The $$ isn't about how I feel - it simply established your (lack of) principles. Now we're just haggling about price.

And clearly you care enough to spend time on this topic. Even if it's just to needle conservatives.

And yes - I would far prefer if my purchases were simple transactions with equivalent businesses. But at this point, as businesses politicize, a portion of a dumb transaction can be traced as effectively being a campaign contribution to candidate or cause, and when this becomes apparent it becomes irresponsible to act against your (and your children's) interests.

I do a lot of business with tractor supply. I'll be shopping elsewhere until this is addressed.

I wish TSC would concentrate on having products in stock when they shoudl be in stock versus training that the rainbows are our saviors or whatever. That would be nice.

Companies like Bud Light, Target, etc...they took the brunt of the initial push back. But with more and more and more initiatives like this, that are started and pursued, it becomes the norm. People stop noticing them.

…I'm not so sure. This is the second wave of pushback. The initial was swept aside with the "slippery slope fallacy bigot" line. This one has more staying power as pedophilia and child sexual mutilation are on the docket and normies are waking up to the lie that is secularism.

As an anecdote to this - I have seen far more rainbows on conservative media pushback this year than in advertising. As a second anecdote: the Fortune 500 that I work at quietly abandoned most (perhaps all) of last year's June messaging / symbolism.

And then we've heard of the attempts to rebrand DEI & the like - which are clearly an acknowledged response to faltering popularity.

I get the feeling that SOME of the businesses who were allowing lefties to lead them by the nose because "it's what modern consumers expect" are now rediscovering that "Republicans buy sneakers too."

Hope you're right...but I dont see the attempts slowing down.

I'd venture to say that the overwhelming majority of those many people simply don't know. Until this thread I can say that I had no clue. Honestly never really thought about it.

But tell me this - places like TSC, etc. are all about advertising when they make a donation to St. Jude or the local 4H or FFA chapter, walk for a cure, breast cancer research or some other similar social event. They even go so far as to have some method of letting everybody know how much they have donated to these causes.

But when it comes to corps donating funds to things that you evidently just don't care about like whatever DEI/LGBTQRPSTUVWXYZ/made up thing here, those corps are, generally speaking, very tight lipped about how much and where they make those donations. Most of the time they obsfucate the causes and make it very difficult to find the information on what they are and how much that corporation gave to them.

I wonder why that is?

My bet, and this is just a wild ass guess, is that if they made the same effort into advertising for the Drag Queen Coalition of America in Elementary Schools (DQCAES - I just made that up) as they do the local 4H, a whole lot of customers would not be particularly thrilled. Just a guess though.

I guess Tractor Supply got the message. Better late, than never.
