What brands should we NOT boycott? (lemm.ee)

I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

I'm not sure if it's still true, but I seem to recall SC Johnson having profits as the lowest of their corporate objectives with higher ones being things like improving people's lives and bringing value to the world.

Granted, it's all just text, and times change, but I'd be curious to know if there's any truth to it, especially today.

You mean the fuckers who gave kids cancer with talcom powder and have done everything in their power to not pay damages?

Yeah. Fuck. That.

Nope. That's Johnson & Johnson. Different company.

Bruh if my company was named SC Johnson after what Johnson and Johnson has been up to I’d change my company name to avoid what dumb asses like me just assumed.

I believe you mean Johnson & Johnson, which is a different company.

No idea about the morals of SC Johnson, I hadn't heard of them till now, but have used a product or 2.
