I know, or at least thought, that IKEA is family owned. However, for most other companies you talk about, they are owned by shareholders, and run by a board of directors. Then you have factories in America and China. They are really as diluted as can be. How many levels of people and generations do you have to go through to get to the original Nazi? Or even IBM? You mean Lenovo, a China company.
As for the goods at Ikea, I like going, it is like a mini trip to Sweden (at least the ones I get to see). The goods are international. I never see furniture imported from Finland, notebooks from Lativa, etc. at the Wal-Mart or Dollar General. It’s fascinating.
What about we focus on present day Nazi’s? There’s a good facebook story going on out there, you can have dozens of genders, but Israel doesn’t exist. Or what about Heinz? You have Kerry going to meet and reinvigorate Abbas to keep doing his old games and tricks, while he’s married to an anti-Israel activist right?
And so on down the chain.
Boycott Mercedes while we buy New Zealand wool? It doesn’t seem to be consistent.
