I think this may be a little more insidious than we know. On surface, all they have to do is nothing. Just stock and sell products their customer base wants to buy.  Cater to 1,000 customers and not worry much about the 1. 
  Where the rub comes in is from the outside. Outfits like Bloomberg and Blackstone evaluate these companies and give them scores for DEI, wokeness, etc. If they don't measure up, the big pension funds, etc won't buy the stock. So they go woke. Make 1 person happy and offend 1,000 by doing it. 
 
  What happens to the stock if they don’t make any money from selling goods?

  ostensibly Blackstone said they were backing off on the ESG score thing. We'll see.

I suspect most companies could not keep their doors open with just the business from us old white guys.  They are trying to cater to all forms of customers. As has been expressed on here many times if you do not care for a companies policies do not support them. maybe they ALL should just stay out of politics and sell their [darn] products.

Agree with this.  But the need to be overly inclusive (whatever that word means) is pushed hard by Wall Street, the banks and some investors.

 You see an overwhelming number of sports being dominated by blacks and other minorities. And why not? They have the skills and are hired for that reason. What I have a problem with is hiring practices, it should follow suit. A person should be hired on their skills, not their gender, color of skin, etc. 
  I have a nephew who, about 10 years ago went through peace officer training with aspirations of becoming a highway patrolman. He graduated about third in a class of around 70. Unfortunately, he was dropped way down on the hiring list because he was a white male with no military experience. He now works in a warehouse driving a fork lift. 
 
  
If removing guns saves just one life it's worth it. Then if deporting illegals saves one life is that worth it?

Spot on Clay Creech.  We had an Orschelns in our little town and it was a good store.  Even had some trapping supplies.  They were bought out by Tractor Supply.  Now half of the store is dog food and they carry very little of what Orschelns had.  I went in there awhile back just needing some electrical tape. They didn't have any.  Our town could use a good farm store but Tractor Supply isn't it. Stupid place is some kind of “urban farm store”. It’s a joke out here in real rural farm country. I’m done with them. The woke crap just seals the deal.

We had Orscheln stores in every decent size town around here.  TSC bought them out. Went from a dang fine store to the most overpriced, unorganized, joke of a business I’ve ever seen. I was done with them before all this woke deal. I did see that their stock price is way down. No surprise here. Everyone around here hates the place.  I hope they fold like a cheap lawn chair.   X2  Bomgaars was a able to buy a few of the orschen stores, they are a decent store they sell firearms ammo and traps, wish they could have bought them all.

It looks like woke is going out of fashion with the ones that thought all the free stuff would be dropping in their laps then it went to the illegals instead. That clown Bowman (Fire Alarm clown) lost his Representative seat to an old White guy.

Why not start up the country mercantile store? Or just complain.
  There’s other places to get what you’re after, just takes a few more stops.  This turd will pass.They’ll change their ways or close the doors. If the latter, another outfit will move in. Not opening a storefront business at my age. It’ll get in the way of squirrel hunting.

  They could sell only American made products like ???? Bought some Barnett crossbow bolts last week did not expect them to be made in China.
