#1 I quit buying Carhart years ago when their quality declined sharply.

#2 Private companies have the right to set their own policies.
As a small business owner I reserve the right to run my business as I see fit. If people don't like my policy then don't purchase here.
Having said that, I would never impose the covid vax on my employees.

#3 Another "woke" company shooting itself in both feet. They must have a really stupid CEO and board of directors.

#4 Its a global company, so any anti-vaxers boycott hurting them is overly estimated. Most people have more important things to worry about than this. This is insignificant. Plenty of people will continue to buy the brand and as Vespasian said, its a private company. If you don't like their policies, take your business elsewhere.

#5 Oh, every little bit hurts. If it becomes a permanent bit, it hurts forever.

#7 "I like to wear clothes just like my daddy wears." That is how a rock in a pond turns into ripples.

#8 I want to profile a few kinds of Rantburg commenters now. I'm sure to offend everyone, so here goes:

A good comment carries some information that maybe not all other readers are aware of. That involves knowing something or doing some research. Or some awesome snark. We do come here for that too.

But, some commenters fall into these categories. If the article says, "The sky is blue," the commenter will come back with:

"Only a fool would say it was blue."
"What's so good about blue skies?"
"It's never been blue for me."
"You know nothing. There is no blue."
"Why do you cancel my comment about the green sky, you (insult, insult, insult?)"
Grumbling Mumbler 9977 unleashes a line of gibberish that would make William Burroughs and James Joyce swear off words.

If you don't like the people here, or what they say, go over to Pajamas Media and comment there. OK?

#9 This 2-year "emergency" has surprised me in many ways, but perhaps none moreso than how willing businesses across the land have rushed to do the government's bidding.

#10 Trading the $200+ per year hard work customer for a Tik Toker's one time $15 ironic beanie sale is weird.

Can I stay if I only dislike (r) and have no opinion of the others?

I'm thinking Board Karens and Late 40s Dad trying to Look 18 Cool in front of Daughters' friends types.

#13 Wrangler clothing is well-made and reasonably priced.
