I see we’re still going on about IBM (no longer exists). For example, Do you see RCA products in stores? The RCA name exists in name only licensed to Chinese manufacturers. They’re not really RCA, at least to me.
Then there’s Bayer. You can buy their stock on the open market. Do you think the people who own the stock are the same as the people in the 1930’s? These companies are way too big and diluted to even talk about forgiving. I think the cells of the company have all been too reconstituted and diluted.
I am not saying go ahead and buy VW, or Mercedes (their best rated, and most important plant worldwide is in my metro, in the United States, with American Workers). I am saying, instead of arguing about the faint ghost of Nazi’s in some companies that only share the name, let’s go after the current ones.
What is the connection of Teresa Heinz (currently living) to the Heinz corporation? She and her Husband Secretary Kerry have no issues fundraising for anti-Israel initiatives.
Are we boycotting Mercedes and Bayer while buying Heinz pickles for example?
Lastly, maybe if we were talking about a company that is family run through the generations, I could understand. Maybe. But it looks like you’re using big, faceless, corporations as your examples, while ignoring current threats.
Lastly lastly, who are we asking for forgiveness (while ignoring the current hatemongers). The retirees with their 401(k)’s, or the shift supervisors from Texas to Tennessee?
