[QUOTE="SdoubleA, post: 3087979, member: 32961"] Pardon me, but in your haste to air your discontent you blew right by what the thread topic and included image were in reference to. The example shown relates to the thread title as stated. You are apparently referring to the companies which are withholding discounts and other services to their potential customers while trying to retain their posture with certain groups and/or emotions. That, in itself, is a separate issue. Since you opened the door I would submit the following. You do understand how "mutual smoozing" and supposed discounts work, do you not? The old scratch each other's back thingy is involved, and any discount is with minimal impact on a company bottom line e.g. "several different prices for the same thing advertised on multiple sites" such as rooms and cheap rental cars. In the instance you allude to, IMO the emotional companies have actually taken the chance of distressing their bottom lines in doing so. They have slighted not only a 5,000,000+ member group but possibly several million other gun owners who are tired of the BS as usual. They have also opened the door to be chastised, boycotted, and conversations by many others. In other words, they have been exposed for their own emotional leadership rather than one of rationality. They self inflicted. Now, on the other hand, FedEX has strongly stated they will not partake in any such dramatic opera. Their market share will most likely gain in the process. I would not be surprised if others followed what FedEx did. [URL]https://www.dailywire.com/news/27600/fedex-refuses-cut-ties-nra-heres-their-statement-amanda-prestigiacomo[/URL] [/QUOTE]
