As for those who are boycotting companies for social/political/religious reasons, I have a serious question for all of you....do all of your friends and family share precisely the same social, political, religious views as you? Mine certainly don’t; if I have no objection to having a friend who has a different view of such things I have a hard time boycotting an entire company for a similar reason
Serious answer - my friends more or less do share my views and those that don't aren't far enough away that we're diametrically opposed. Also we have enough mutual respect to agree to disagree.
Corporations aren't people, nor are they my friends. They are businesses that I buy goods and services from and if I don't approve of something they have done, my only recourse is to not give them my money. I disapprove of this virtual signaling that is not only patronizing, but I suspect insincere. Maybe my own stoppage of my patronage will have no effect, but I will still know that I have voted with my money.
