    What ever happened to the free market deciding? I thought the whole point of capitalism is that if you do awful things your business dies?

    They should have lost all of their customers the moment the public found out what they were doing. Some of us aren’t going back to such a business.

      The whole point of capitalism is to removed out our humanity for money while trying to outrun entropy.

        I’m aware that’s how it works in practice. I’m saying that even by conservative, capitalist idealism they should have been shut down for being bigots.

      Did you miss the fact that the free market did in fact decide on this case? The market decided their business would succeed wildly.

        You’re missing my point. I am saying that the “free market shall decide” is enough justification to boycott them, regardless of how long ago they were doing shitty things.
