Boycott LL Bean? Why not WalMart also?

8. LL Bean is not what it used to be

They sell mainly Chinese imports with a few American made trinkets (Think flashlight key chain) thrown in the mix. That's reason enough to shop else where if you're looking for high quality, American made or not, products.

As for Walmart, members on this board have been avoiding them for a very long time already so a call to boycott them now would be very late in coming anyway. Many here have been well aware of their greed and poor treatment of their employees even before DU came into existence, so that boat has already sailed.

Personally, I consider every penny I spend as a "vote" of confidence in each business I patronize and I avoid enriching the businesses I disapprove of, when possible.

Having said that, to boycott every business that may have a person in a position of power that supports the GOPee would be almost impossible, especially in this day of global, multi-outlet, diverse businesses such as GE and Johnson and Johnson, two companies that have their hand in almost every facet of the consumer product market. Not to mention the everyday worker bees that are employed by these companies that do NOT support GOPee policies. Do they also deserve our ire for having the audacity to feed their families by working for a Republican?
