#HomeDepot #BernieMarcus #Trump The founder and CEO of Home Depot continues in his rightwing politics. He claims he will donate to Donald Trump even if he’s convicted. It’s time for a full-on boycott of Home Depot, just in time for the holidays. Use Lowe’s or Ace Hardware. And possibly the Atlanta Aquarium, where Atlanta Pride unfortunately held its pride kickoff party this past October. “If Trump convicted, Home Depot billionaire says he'd still likely fund campaign” https://www.reuters.com/world/us/home-depot-billionaire-says-hed-likely-still-fund-trump-if-candidate-convicted-2023-11-28/
Home Depot billionaire to fund Trump even if he is convicted

Republican mega-donor Bernie Marcus said on Tuesday he would likely still give money to Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid if the former president was convicted of a crime - but the billionaire does not plan to be one of his biggest financial backers.

Together, they recruited an "inner core" of #FedSoc members "and recruit[ed] them for either specific roles to serve as judges or to spin up and launch critical projects."

Other shadowy billionaires piled in: #HomeDepot's trumpy founder #BernieMarcus, #CharlesKoch, and Betsy #DeVos and her family. The new "Teneo 2.0" sought to "to help members find jobs, write books, meet spouses, secure start-up financing or nonprofit donors and learn about public service."

To be clear, they're not raising wages out of the goodness of their hearts. It's inflation, hard to find workers at lower pay, and an attempt to prevent unionization.

The political record of cofounder Bernie Marcus is damning:

Home Depot 'nobody works' cofounder donated $64 million to GOP, Trump

Bernie Marcus, who has donated millions to Trump, said Thursday he did not think Home Depot would be as successful if it was founded today.

Business Insider
Trump-supporting billionaire Home Depot founder says ‘nobody works anymore’ because of ‘socialism’ and the ‘woke people [who] have taken over the world’

Bernie Marcus blamed "woke people" and lazy workers for the US labor shortage in an interview with the FT.

#BernieMarcus, co-founder of #HomeDepot, is billionaire who can't stop complaining how lazy his workers are (who are paid minimum wage btw)

His warped sense of reality (and morality) is what you get from our new form of feudalism that funnels wealth upward.

#BernieMarcus is a total POS.

The delusional narcissism necessary to think his hour of "work" is 1000X more valuable than his minimum wage employee is unbelievable.

"Wah wah why aren't my slaves working harder?"
