Costco is cool too! They have local products.
Most important of all they compensate their employees like they are actual humans.
And, they told the ignorant people to go fuck themselves in regards to stopping their DEI efforts.
Honestly, that's really smart. It shows which businesses are playing the long game and which ones aren't.
When democrats are back in office and businesses start re-instating DEI, Costco can always say they never got rid of them.
Also, probably ones that are more global and less willing to be pushed around by a dumb ass and his followers. I bet such companies have better quarters for a while too after that.
Keep that DEI and I will keep shopping!
And their management bust unions like their lives depend on it.
Costco can be cool all they want once the federal government of the USA tells them to fuck over Canadians they will. It's a very dangerous game to rely heavily on American companies in Canada right now. No matter how ethical they might be. The trade war has already begun and the USA will use any lever available when the time comes to annex.
The issue isn't the federal government tells them to fuck over Canadians (or anyone else). It's that they don't tell them anything. They just make Canadian goods cost more in the US. They don't have a choice. Most businesses would rather the cost stay the same, but we have a dumb ass president who's fucking us all over for no good reason.
Well, the reason is to destabilize the west because Putin wants a new Soviet Union
It’s certainly not a good reason. But it’s not just “dumb trump pulling levers he doesn’t understand.” It’s “dumb Trump pulling the levers he’s told to. He doesn’t understand what he’s doing, but those planning the lever pulls do”
