[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is America.  Why are some of you Republicans upset by a business owner exercising his freedom of speech while giving out free product samples?

Maybe you'd rather Elon gave you a free EV.[/quote]

You are correct that Penzys has every right to drive himself into bankruptcy by alienating so many potential customers. That aside, for those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s and into the 2010s, we lived in a time when businesses were apolitical and find Penzy's strange and peculiar. And, of course, in the last decades many businesses were under enormous pressure from people like you and the progressive left to espouse "correct" views, so it's a fairly hypocritical stance to be taking.

PP.  I've been a Penzey's customer for 30 years and I'm not sure his marketing is on track but there's no end to "corporate speech" and what the truly wealthy are doing to interfere in governance.  So I think it's ridiculous to get all upset about a little guy using his business to express himself.  As far as I recall, things started getting ugly with the "won't bake wedding cakes for people whose marriages I disagree with" court cases.

Take the spice out of the package and it's just spice.  Mail ordering any spices is environmentally destructive anyway.  Unless you're growing them in your backyard, you're already at the end of a carbon footprint that isn't necessary.[/quote]

How wrong you are, he took a stand and basically told those who disagreed he did not need their business.  Stupid move for a business owner over our divisive political situation in this country.  He has lost customers who will never come back and he will continue to have to close stores, as he just did in my local area.  Tough luck, keep you social issues out of my kitchen and we can both be happy.  Otherwise I will laugh as your business continues to fall.[/quote]

Uh oh, he's invading Florida!

In Orlando, home of child trafficking? That tracks. [/quote]
