Not sure I want to live in a world where companies must have social justice-approved opinions on every political development of the day.

@chasegiunta If a religious test to enter the country, affecting people fleeing violence, isn't a high enough bar for you, what's your minimum baseline for what companies should have an opinion on? Especially when it affects their employee base, or the ability to recruit talent from other countries?
@jordankrueger Don't straw man my stance here. I'm fine if companies want to have opinions on sociopolitical topics. What I'm not fine on is collecting a list of companies, refusing to do business, shaming, etc. based on their lack of opinions expressed for various current events - such as this website is doing, and what I've seen other loud political activists on social media doing.

@chasegiunta Right, so when IS it okay to start a list of companies that haven't taken a stance? What's your minimum bar for when it's perfectly acceptable to shame companies that refuse to speak out against injustice?
@jordankrueger@chasegiunta the meaning of "injustice" here is your opinion, not an absolute. banning immigrants is the right of any sovereign nation, and many many nations do it.

Why can't the companies just move out of US?
Quick reality check - the time required to produce production ready local talents is going to take alonnnngggggg time meanwhile Trump is comfortably sitting in the Oval office for another 4 years which can also be 8 if he gets another round. 4 years is long and he has not event completed 1 month of his office.

What is this beyond advertisement for the companies? Individuals don't get anything out of this except feeling good about their purchases if they are really invested in the system. If you want to stop Trump, go out and do it...applies to both people posting selfies at Starbucks and the companies making vague statements.

I think it's a disingenuous to include Uber without some kind of disclaimer. They tried to break the NYC taxi strike by artificially deflating prices. It blew up in their face, which is why Travis tried to save face with the donation after the fact. It should be noted on the site that they were pro ban (or at least anti strike) before public pressure caused a reversal.

The tech bubble is real... let's see those companies donate some shareholder money to help out.
Make a list of those companies helping with money rather than making noise.
They only care for the cheap labor or knowledge worker that can help them get an edge and make profits $$$.
