John Deere is the latest company to turn its back on Black people, the LGBTQ+ community, and women - Advocate

In a disheartening move that echoes Tractor Supply Company’s recent actions of stepping away from Pride events, John Deere, the iconic farm equipment maker, has abandoned its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, effectively turning its back on its Black,LGBTQ+, and women employees and customers. The Tuesday announcement states that the company will no longer support “social orcultural awareness” events and will audit its training materials to ensure they are free of “socially motivated messages.”

2. Their equipment has been circling the drain for

over 5 years now....cheaper, less reliable and this just seals the deal. They're dead to me.

4. Tractor Supply always had plenty of Ivermectin in the livestock meds case.

I think they sold a lot of it. Assholes.

5. Well they had already turned their backs on the farmers.

They had blocked farmers and mechanics from being able to repair their own tractors. They finally relented but the damage was done.
