"Consumers’ Research issued a “Woke Alert” on Tuesday warning Americans not to buy from five prominent businesses in the country this holiday season.
The consumer watchdog listed Best Buy, Activision, Target, Nordstrom, and Home Depot as the firms to avoid while shopping. “These five companies went Woke, and now they’re vying for your business on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Keep these companies’ woke antics in mind when you’re shopping for deals,” Consumers’ Research said. It advised people to “tell these companies to stop their woke ways.”
Corporate Discrimination
Many states are taking action against companies engaging in discriminatory employment policies.
In a July 13 letter to CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, attorneys general from 13 states pointed out that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling against race-based admissions in colleges “should place every employer and contractor on notice of the illegality of racial quotas and race-based preferences in employment and contracting practices.”
“If your company previously resorted to racial preferences or naked quotas to offset its bigotry, that discriminatory path is now definitively closed,” the letter said. “Your company must overcome its underlying bias and treat all employees, all applicants, and all contractors equally, without regard for race.”
In June, a jury in New Jersey directed Starbucks to pay over $25 million in compensation to a white former employee who accused the company of firing her because of her race.
Speaking to The Epoch Times, Dan Morenoff, executive director of the American Civil Rights Project, suggested that more such cases could soon come to court. “When the plaintiffs' bar sees that these are real sources of recovery, I would be surprised if you didn’t see a lot more of these cases being brought.”
States like New Jersey, New York, and California have laws against discrimination, with most of these statutes having “provisions for uncapped punitive damages,” he said.
“When you’re talking about uncapped punitive damages and entities that are among the largest in the world, it’s difficult to even put into words the scale of that Pandora’s box of liability that corporate directors have chosen to open.”

But not to worry, Xiden Economics Works- just ask any progressive.
Stopped using Target same day I learned here about their anyone can use any restroom policy and kinky products that target kids.
Haven't been inside a Home Depot for years and never set foot in those other places.
now, i get a fully functional one for eBay
like an HP Z6 G4
no need to worry about parts not working together
not that eBay is non-woke....
but used stuff works fine
My gpus, cpus, heat sinks, motherboards, memory, microphone, and pre-amp were all purchased used on eBay.
Still using cases from 10-15 years ago.
Hard drives, power supplies, and ssds were new.
I like building my own, but I do also have 4 Dell laptops and one Dell server bought used on eBay, too.
All still working well after 5+ years.
