Any franchise or corporation that makes their religion known. So fuck chick fil a, hobby lobby, and in n out.

Any local small business with political signs or flags, or religious things on full display as well.

Disagree, I wouldn't instantly say that any gay bar is bad because "it states its political views". More like, any business that supports a facist, or is clearly religous.

Cool. I was talking about religion. Gay people have a right to exist and if a bar is friendly for them, so be it. There are other bars.

Chic Fil A is not trying to merely appeal to those of their own beliefs only. They are willingly taking anyone's money and turning around and using that for religious zealotry. In fact, the example you bring up feels extra fucked considering that fucking company goes out of its way to donate to anti-LGBTQ organizations.

Thr right will tell a basketball player to "shut up and dribble" and a burger joint oughta only make fucking burgers then.

I worked for an investment firm that had about 75 employees, but managed $35 billion in assets. There are a lot of those. Their investments tended to be a lot of the companies ruining the world, ranging from the privatized ambulance companies to the privatized hospice care companies to the emerging-market banks, etc...etc... And that's just one "small" investment firm.

If the company you work for is bought by Alpine Investments, get a lawyer. Especially if you're a woman or expect severance when they ditch you.

Red Ventures. They buy up web properties, fire everyone, and turn them into ai-generated click farms. For example, C|Net. They steal from their employees too.
