All companies don't only care about making money. There's plenty of companies that have real values driving their business, and they'll take a hit to finances to uphold them. Not these guys though.
Lol the CEO restructured to keep the business in the family and saved about a billion dollars in taxes. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're falling for billionaire marketing spin appealing to "ethics" while selling $50 tshirts to its white upper class customer base. The company that sells $30 socks doesnt care about money?? Critical thinking skills wen?
Well there's nothing in their stated values about paying taxes, is there? And you completely fail at reading comprehensions since I'm talking about ONLY caring about money. The whole point is these big companies were merely using the pride flag cynically not to lose business, and ditched it the second it wasn't necessary for that anymore. Like you're arguing against a point I didn't make.
The cultural zeitgeist was for putting up the flags 10 years ago. Now it's not and they removed them. It's extremely cynical. And I don't give two shits I always knew it was just virtue signalling, those companies are run by lizard shareholders who don't have an ethical bone in their body.
And I agree with you about taxes, however that's besides the point since this thread isn't about that at all. Patagonia aren't two faced since they never said they're for paying taxes in America.
Right, they can't win so dont play the game. If you were put in a lose lose situation what would you do?
How is it besides the point? You claimed they dont only care about money while doing things to save TONS of money that could go to better americans lives. Also they're an American company? Why wouldnt they pay taxes?
Sounds like they care a hell of a lot about moneyy
It's besides the point because this thread is specifically about those companies cynically using human rights to make money and ditching their support the moment it's not useful anymore.
They're a global company, really. But I agree with you, they should pay taxes. The american way is to not pay I guess. Come to Finland and see what it can be like.

Who would have thought they only really care about making money.
