Levi Strauss = 100% Anti 2A

[clearconscience]

I buy Levi's.

And everyday I put a gun in them.

If I stop shopping at, or buying from everyone that's 2A I will have to start making my own products, from materials that I grow.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

Carharts for me.





Can't not think of those as WoW jeans after it was pointed out to me....

They have a W on both back pockets - I'll let y'all draw the inevitable conclusion

and if a guy does cart wheels its "wow mom"

I haven't worn Levis 501 jeans since I was in college almost 30 years ago now. I lived down in California and I had to wear a ties and/or collared shirts. I only started wearing blue jeans to work once I moved up to Washington State. Heck people wear sweats pants to work up here too. I did move to Chicago for a time and had to wear button down or polo shirts.

 

[Basedgreaser]

Any one got recomendations for button fly jeans not baggy that come in more then just blue? 501's really the only jean i found to match that.

 

[Mark W.]

Been Wearing Wranglers for 35 years. Levis cost to much. And now SUCK

 

[HotRodGuy]

Why are yall even wearing pants? Angry Bastard TactiKilt is where its at.

If you're not going to buy Levi's for being anti 2A, be prepared to avoid these companies as well. Might make life a little more difficult. I know I need Costco and Football. And I need Google Maps for work too. Lol

And this is just a list of 50. There are thousands I'm sure.

 

[MannyGlocks]

So what's your message - there's to many to boycott so give up?

Not me...

How does one define an anti-gun company. For example, is a chain of stores that maintains a gun-free zone policy (as disagreeable as that is) but is otherwise silent on the subject as bad as one that actively donates to anti-gun causes? Does the difference matter?

In regards to the list of 50, it's actually not that difficult. Of the entire list, there are only two that I use with any regularity, Comcast and Google. The former is unfortunately the only internet provider in my zip code of adequate speed. The rest offer a fraction of the performance. Google is one I'm working on minimizing.

There's a small handful that I seldom use (for instance, I'll go to a Regal theater maybe once a year or two), but it wouldn't kill me to make it zero if I had to. There are also some places that I haven't been to in years and it certainly wouldn't kill me to not go again. But the majority are businesses I've never used at all or don't even have locations in my area or that I never even heard of.

Google is one I'm working on minimizing.

I got fed up with Google's virtue-signaling Doodles and have switched successfully to DuckDuckGo. Can't guarantee they aren't also anti-2A, but at least they're not Google.

I don't have a message, maybe an opinion. It's similar to raftman's. There are many ways a company can be labeled anti-gun. It seems every store is "gun free". So is the post office. Are you going to stop receiving all mail at your house? Or is it the CEO or chairman who decides? Because they are fired all the time. I know not every employee of a company shares the same beliefs. And I believe in more than just the 2A. How could I possibly only do business with people and companies who are exactly the same as me? I know I sell houses to people who are anti-gun. If I didn't, my family would starve.

For me, this applies to friends and family too. I have family who are anti gun. They still come over for Thanksgiving.

Eugene,

You posted: "It seems every store is "gun free".

Must be a regional phenomenon, as in my part of the world (Texas) most businesses are accepting of guns, even banks...medical facilities not as much, but even then, not all...

The very small minority of 'no guns allowed' businesses are most often not to be seen. Texas businesses are overall very pro-gun and many are accepting of open carry.

But when such businesses do declare "no guns allowed" they are reported to a listing site. It's called Texas 30.06.com

There you can find out the businesses that aren't gun friendly in advance - if of course you plan to go there, but first want to know if it's a free fire zone for criminals.

If beyond that, I discover a business wants my trade, but is anti-gun, I won't do business with them. Chances are they are not just anti-gun, they're anti-Capitalist, that's to say leftist.

Well, hold on some say, there's so many anti-gun businesses you'd be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, you'll be terribly limited, if you you refused to do business with them.

You'd be so restricted you'd be shooting yourself in the foot. You couldn't buy much with such a perspective.

Nah, I wouldn't. I'm not obligated to doing business with leftists.

Why not?

Because they're are plenty of businesses who aren't leftist.

My money.

My choices...

I'm 'NOT BOXED IN' by leftist businesses. If anyone thinks so, that's defeatist thinking.

Being wishy washy 'isn't required' of U.S. citizens.

Again, my money and you know the rest...

Leftist businesses...pppfffffft!

Levi's Jeans Now Paying Employees To Volunteer For Gun Control Organizations
I quit wearing Levi's long ago, not sure I want to burn the ones I still have or cut them up and line beds for feral cats with them but I ain't wearing them now.

Levi Strauss CEO Goes Full Anti-Gun, Paying Employees to 'Volunteer' for Gun-Control Organizations - GunsAmerica Digest

Levi Strauss CEO Goes Full Anti-Gun, Paying Employees to 'Volunteer' for Gun-Control Organizations
by Jordan Michaels on September 4, 2018.

In the best attempt to date to unseat Edward Stack as the nation's Virtue Signaler in Chief, Levi Strauss's CEO Chip Bergh bravely announced this week his company's support of "youth activists" working to end the "gun violence epidemic" in America and encouraged other "business leaders" to do the same.

"As business leaders with power in the public and political arenas, we simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to the issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work," he said in a recent op-ed published by Fortune. "While taking a stand can be unpopular with some, doing nothing is no longer an option."

Naming his brand among the "pioneers of the American West" and the "great symbols of American freedom," Bergh outlines three ways he's hoping to restrict the constitutional rights of his fellow Americans.

First, he plans to establish the Safer Tomorrow Fund, which will dole out $1 million in "philanthropic grants" to "nonprofits and youth activists who are working to end gun violence in America."

Next, Bergh and his company will join Everytown for Gun Safety's new Business Leaders for Gun Safety coalition. Roughly paraphrasing Everytown's website, this group is working to join banks and other businesses doing their darndest to bankrupt gun companies and marginalize gun owners.

Finally, Bergh hopes to incentivize his employees to join him in his righteous crusade. Levi Strauss will double its usual employee donation match to anti-gun organizations and pay employees for sixty working hours per year (5 hours per month) to volunteer for the same organizations.

"We're encouraging our employees to use their time to make an impact," he said.

Bergh assures his readers he doesn't want to repeal the Second Amendment or suggest that gun owners aren't responsible. He's a former Army officer, after all, and he took an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

Those constitutional rights don't apply to everyone, of course. Bergh quotes retired four-star general Michael Hayden, who said in a promotional piece for the Giffords Center that "some people… should never have access to any weapons."

In a dramatic conclusion, Bergh explains that Levi Strauss has "never been afraid to take an unpopular stand to support a greater good," highlighting his company's support for integration before the Civil Rights Act and for same-sex couples all the way back in the 1990s.

"While each one of these stands may have been controversial at the time, history proved the company right in the long run," he says, courageously. "And I'm convinced that while some will disagree with our stand to end gun violence, history will prove this position right too."

Levi Strauss may have been at the forefront of the Civil Rights movement, but they're hardly the first company to take a stand against Guns: The Great American Evil. Following the Parkland massacre, a variety of companies, including Walmart, Bank of America, Shopify, and Dick's Sporting Goods, announced policies designed to curb the Second Amendment rights of their customers and business partners.

Eughh jeez, STAY IN YOUR LANE LEVI'S

No one asked you

 

[edslhead]

Lets have a rally down at pioneer square and burn levi's on a stick. Might have to get a pair at the goodwill first

 

[Tangent123123]

Levis, now in full retard!

 

[EPS]

Haven't own a pair for over 30 years .
Back when they said the working man is not who we want buying or wearing or jeans.
And raised the price .
And they make SKINNY JEANS TOO.
I have always liked Wrangler any way

 

[Certaindeaf]

I get whatever bimart has.

 

[Al Swann]

Hmmm... guess I'm old fashioned but I thought the whole thing about "volunteering" was not expecting anything in return. If I get paid it's called "work". Makes me wonder, is altruism dead on the left, or is word a dirty word? Or both?

 

[xtratoy]

I quit buying Levi's in the 90's when they moved their 501 manufacturing to Mexico.
