Not so amazed to see Koch and Walmart on the list. And most the others are amoral corporate psychpaths just trying to curry favour with the death-cult party. Match-dot-com is the real oddball, since it brings attention to the company’s track record re: sexual predators.
From Teh Wiki:
Use by sexual predators
A woman claiming she was raped by another person she met on Match.com sued the site in 2011.[31] The woman and her lawyer wanted Match.com to start doing background checks on their users in order to prevent registered sex offenders from using the site. Match.com has responded that it would create many problems trying to get background information from all their users.[32] Days after the lawsuit was filed, Match.com announced that the site would begin screening new members.[33]
From 2011 to 2014, a man described by British police as a “sexual predator” contacted thousands of women through the website. He raped five of them. In March 2016 Derby Crown Court heard that four of the victims complained about the man to Match.com; one of the women was told that administrators could not do anything because he had not sent abusive messages through the site.[34][35]

Yeah, a lot of stuff falls under Johnston & Johnston alone. We’ve been boycotting Nestle the past few months, and it’s shocking how many brands they own. That’s how they weather consumer boycotts these days, by owning tons of other stuff and hope no one notices.

Yep, Nestle is huge!

I might sound a bit “kids these days!” but I don’t have the feeling TikTok users are willing to criticise and (threaten to) boycott their platform in the same way the users of other social media are. It’s a weird blind spot in the otherwise politically aware Gen Z.

My thought, also–it’s probably just general GOP support, not specifically anti-abortion.

The retreat is to take place as the group seeks more donations to fend off legal attacks from Democrats seeking to protect abortion rights. A June 24 fundraising email said “every donation will help the Republican Attorneys General combat the Democrats’ pro-abortion agenda and stand tall for life.”
But I’m sure they will cover many more evil gQp plans in addition to that.

Yeah, not so much. From the referenced CNBC article:

We really had to work hard to get around the Purina stuff, so much of our pet food choices revolved around one of those many brands, all of which are Nestle. We’ve managed, though, and the pets seem none the worse for the change in diet.

I don’t see anything more sophisticated than these business looking into their future growth opportunities.
They see these unwanted pregnancies becoming their future customers, even if they all become inmates before they are 30.
Insurance companies have done their math and determined that abortions are less risky than bringing the child to term.

At a party thrown by gQp lawyers?
Legal loop holes maybe.

At that event or not, Toyota should also be on the list.

Are they looking to forcibly breed future customers, or grossly underpaid human chaff to work in their gulags?
