I started with just a request, then submitted the enforcement letter. I have not contacted the state yet.

I was going to try the seller first since the manufacturer wouldn’t honor after submitting the formal letter, siting and quoting the specifics.

I don’t really care that much and try not to politicize everything. I buy stuff off Amazon, use Google, own Apple products…..AND to top it off, I own shares in all of those companies. Politically, I do not agree with any of their leaders, certain things they say, working conditions, or overall “faux-progressive” nature.

But, that’s not how business works. I like having a MacBook Pro, so I will give money to apple. I like Amazon, so I will keep spending money there. I like Chick-fil-A’s food, so I will spend money there. Consumer and commodity businesses should be transactional, not emotional.

The government wants you to think of everything in terms of politics so that we can become more divided. A divided nation is easier to puppeteer and subvert.

Go eat the chicken sandwiches and enjoy some good food without being angry at the world. Pick your battles, It’s just chicken.

Nah.

Don't care for Chick-fil-A, I dig the Colonel Sanders 11 herbs & spices. Popeye's is #2 choice.

As for Hobby Lobby, meh, it's nice but it's like Michaels & it's closed on Sundays.

Chick closed on Sundays too. If Hobby has something I want & they're open, I buy.

"Boycott" is a strong word for me. Neither have any products that appeal to me so I'd never patronize them in the first place - but throw in their political views and advocacy and that would give me an extra layer of rationale to steer clear.
