[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of Trump and didn't vote for him....BUT....the boycott against GOYA foods based on the CEO simply supporting the current US President is IMHO totally wrong and actually is making me (and others) go out and buy tons of GOYA products just to support free speech!

Boycotting a company/restaurant solely because you don't agree with the CEO's political or religious views is akin to discrimination and censorship and leads to a slippery slope....

It sounds like the free market to me. Sometimes you select one product over a substantially similar one because the company does virtuous things - like adopt fair labor policies, or good environmental practices. Sometimes you reject one product over another that is substantially similar because the company does evil things, like support Trump. That's capitalism - the market speaking.

What is "virtuous" to one may not be to another.   
I totally agree with the first pp here.  It is the perfect example of cancel culture.  And, evidence that the left's narrative about supporting Hispanics is a huge lie.  Seems that just like only some black lives matter, only some Hispanics and immigrants are worthy of support......Only those who don't support the current president.  
And, pp, a true free market doesn't hinge on who or what the CEO supports or what he says, unrelated to the business.   A free market is truly free.  Free of outrage on the part of the left because  - gasp - the  CEO states support  of the president.  [/quote]
