I'm sure all here is familiar with the saying "If it is good for the goose it is good for the gander" Well it has come full circle for the nation's two largest creditors "Bank of America" and "Citi Group" Remember from our Hub House days when Bank of America pulled their credit line from the McMillan co. this company was noted for making rifle stocks and then went into the manufacturing of firearms. So when the word got out a lot of people pulled their accounts and BoA lost a good size chunk of money. The under the O's administration along with AG Eric Holder the start of "Operation Choke Point" that was aimed at gun manufactures. This has now been done away with. The state of Louisiana has now given the gander a dose of it's own medicine. LA. has barred "BoA" and "Citi Group" from under writing a $600mil. road financing deal because of their anti-gun policies. I don't know if anyone here has followed this or not as this is a couple weeks old. Sorry guys been busy. With the state of LA doing this it prevent these two companies from making a ton of money. I have two links for ya all to read and comment if ya like. www.usnews.com/news/best-states/louisiana/articles/2018-08-16/louisiana-bars-banks-from-600m-deal-because-of-gun-policies www.dailysignal.com/2018/08/30/how-louisiana-stood-up-to-the-anti-gun-corporate-elite/ |

I love it ! ! ! We can each do a tiny bit of this type of thing on our own. I "vote" with my wallet very often. I am in my third year of boycotting the NFL and its major sponsors. I'm enjoying my boycott of Dick's Sporting Goods. I've just added Niki to my list. I not only refuse to give them my business (and money) but I also write them to make sure they know why I'm boycotting them. If the internet has done anything good, it's that each of us can let companies know who we feel about them sticking their noses into political issues. On the plus side . . . I also write to companies that do good work or take positive stands to let them know why I elect to do business with them. I know I'm just one small voice in the wilderness but it make me feel better  |

Now I have to stop buying Levis as the CEO just commited one million to Bloomberg's every town or what ever it's called. Mrs. Hass(levis) is probably turning over in her grave as she asked me to shoot a Bobcat that had been raiding her chickens. I will also find out what Peter thinks of this. 70 yrs of Levis and I was going to get a few more, as mine are starting to wear out, not now!  |

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

I thought BofA. backed out of the O'samma deal,guess I was wrong! A.P. is turning over in his Grave! I don't use them any way. I wrote Levi a nasty note, not that it will make a difference. I was going to buy a yeti chest but now it will be a Coleman or similar.
