    I’m tired boss……

    Just when you think you find good companies to support they end up being run by shitbags.

    Ok, where to next for my VPN needs?

      You don’t have to agree with the chef in politics to enjoy their food.

      Acting like that zealously would make you quickly run out of options if you actually talked to most chefs.

        There’s a difference between a chef having an opinion and a high-ranking decision maker having an opinion and the money to amplify it.

        If the chef thinks he shouldn’t have to make food for immigrants, that’s too bad. He’ll have to do his job anyway. If the CEO thinks his establishment shouldn’t serve immigrants and donates to politicians that promise to let him segregate his diner, that might actually have an impact far greater than the chef’s opinion.

        It’s more a question of “know where your money is going.” You can stick your head in the sand and pretend not to know if you wish, but don’t presume to lecture others who won’t.

      "Absolute power corrupts absolutely ", unfortunately. I heard that studies have shown the neurophysiology of a person changes the longer they are in power and influence.

      I think the response makes it obvious that a company is not it’s co-CEO, and a co-CEO is not a company.

      Granted a tiny amount of your fees may make their way to a political party you vehemently oppose, but I think you’re also supporting a lot of other people in the organisation that are on your side.

        It’s not a “tiny” amount of money, this dude is the CEO who makes all of the money in the company and any money going to Nazis is problematic especially when the Nazis in question are almost fully funded by this CEO and yes the CEO is the face and moral driver of a company.

        Pretty ironic saying the company supports free speech when the biggest money maker is bankrolling a group that specifically gasses free speech and I doubt the other working there have even a sliver of speech that the CEO does.

          Before your fee gets into a CEOs hands it pays for people’s salaries and the costs of the company. That’s what I mean by a tiny amount. It’s only what’s left after that that the CEO can benefit from.

      There is no such thing as an ethical corporation. I’m going to tell you now, if you cannot ever compromise then learn subsistence farming as soon as you can.
