DON'T BUY GOODYEAR TIRES, he spews on Twitter




My guess is that Goodyear is banning MAGA hats because it is a political statement and in violation of company policy. Hence the twitter tantrum.

Goodyear has promptly replied:

Goodyear spokeswoman Melissa Monaco provided the following statement to WTVY:

“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”


So he would like nothing better than to put a 120+ year old company out of business and their workers on the unemployment line. Just another day in his petty delusional world.

who cut their taxes big time in 2017 can turn out to be.

All businesses have stakeholders of all types and I guarantee you that most of them are apolitical, non-racist, non-discriminatory, not bigoted, etc. AND ARE NOTHING LIKE THE PINO IN THE WH.

No wonder the idiot PINO filed for bankruptcy six times (other to scam taxpayers and holders of his debt), his business expertise is literally ranked zero, and his scumbag index is off the charts (there isn't a high enough ranking on the 'scumbag index' to rank him).

Maybe Biden can immediately start gathering the support of businesses so we all can work together to get this POS out of the WH once and for all.

The prices on Goodyear tires is much more competitive that he realizes. The only reason I bought Cooper tires instead only because they offered a cash back incentive at the time.

He's doing all of this stuff this week on purpose. He's simply being a troll this week to try and take attention away from the Democratic convention.
