| Ross (a terrible landlord/property manager btw) is not just a casual Trump supporter; he threw a fundraiser for a small group that raised enough money to do actual damage to our democracy. This is not about checking everyone's FEC records at the door. It's about someone evil enough to take steps that have real direct impact on our lives. Boycotts rarely work (your ilk adds new ones all the time, to no effect, but it is notable that you have never posted about how "sick and abhorrent" you think those are) but if folks want to try to damage Ross, more power to them. Oh, and by the way, lots of people have been very unhappy about the Koch name at Lincoln Center, but that's a very different situation: he made a huge donation (part of his family's "de-demonization PR campaign), but is not enriched by anyone going to the ballet. That makes it quite different than the Ross boycotts at Equinox, Soul Cycle, and not Hudson Yards. P.S. You might want to look for something better to troll about: you are pretty behind the curve on this one. |

| True enough, the current administration is open to much fair criticism. And businesses are of course free to spend or withhold their money as they choose. But "Evil enough to take steps that have real direct impact" is in the eye of the beholder. Some would opine that the previous administration's giving the world's biggest purveyor of terror billions of dollars to spearhead terror proxies aimed at the US and our allies constitutes a fairly malignant evil. But I'll bet donors to that leader of the free world were never maligned by anyone on this board. We all have our priorities, likes and dislikes. But we have to remember we live in a pluralistic society where, in theory at least, we try to live in civilized harmony with each other, no matter how we disagree with others. | |
