Hobby Lobby is gross.

Agreed. But you’re going to run out of places to buy things from if ‘not run by assholes’ becomes a requirement.

There are degrees of asshole when it comes to corporate overlords.

HL is an especially shitty one.

Those are sweet. Someone else must have bought all the good ones at my local hobby lobby because the was nothing good when I was there this week.

It only looks that way because you haven’t dug hard enough. The same menagerie of sociopathic jackasses who step on everyone to climb to the top can be found at the end of every corporate ladder. Truly good and decent companies that do good things for their workers and promote policy that works for their business and their communities are rare enough to be counted on one hand. The rest only don’t look as bad compared to everyone else because either you haven’t looked or they’re good at hiding it.

Michael’s has also contributed consistently to Republicans, as far as I can tell.

Jo-Ann Fabrics, OTOH, consistently contributes to Democrats, as far as I can tell...

I’m pretty sure most other companies aren’t denying women access to contraception through religious exemptions.

I’m pretty sure Hobby Lobby doesn’t want anyone dressing up their lady caves tho

“What is a lady cave? Is that what they’re calling the kitchen now?” - Hobby Lobby, probably

Honestly, that’s pretty mild compared to some of these companies. As much as I’m an advocate of women’s rights, I’d say that child-slave labor is just as bad. Conflict resources are pretty much all the worst. And so many corporations buy them without a care.

Pretty sure most other companies are paying their employees poverty wages which price them right out of the market for many of their healthcare needs and force them to consider a second or third job despite already having one that is full time. Ask me how I know.

And do you think Hobby Lobby isn’t selling products made using child labor? Or that they aren’t using conflict minerals in some of their products (OK, they probably don’t sell much that needs conflict minerals, but...)?

I’d rather buy from the company that supports reproductive rights, even if they do use Chinese child labor and conflict minerals, over a company that does that AND actively fights against reproductive rights.

And Hobby Lobby isn’t also doing that?

PS9 > bhtooefr

The point is that everyone is doing that, not just Hobby Lobby.

Woops forgot about gender equality. Edited post to satisfy what ever his, her, klingon, or wookie needs :)

That’s not a reason to reward a company that’s arguably one of the worst offenders, though...

no worries! I was making a joke about the HL Supreme Court case.
