Shopping/dining list?

Just read that CVS is supporting Voldemort’s re-election. Ugh now I gotta transfer my mom’s prescriptions elsewhere. And most of the fast-food joints (which I have quit but others in my immediate family won’t. And both Home Despot (which I eschew) AND Lowe’s(?!?) Lowe’s really? Can anyone confirm this? And, anyone have (or can put together?) a list of Dem-supporting companies? Is COSTCO still good? This Dem progressive refuses to give a penny to help that shit. Eternally grateful, IGoToDU

Which the owners support the GOP on a personal basis but that is also a Union workplace. For dining we go to the local places around our area and try to avoid any of the chains. I don’t know the political leanings of the ownership of any of them, but I prefer the money I spend stay in the community.

As for hardware it’s True Value for us with the reasoning being the same as restaurant dining.

Costco overwhelms me, but I have friends who get theirs there.
I will check out some alternatives, too.

Figure most large businesses have a good many republicans in their top ranks.

As mentioned above I think it better to always try to go to locally owned establishments.

household items/toiletries, etc. They are the only drug stores/pharmacies near me and I would have to go out of my way to switch to another store.

What a drag!
