I was also going to say this but knew in my heart, as I scrolled down, it would already have been said.

edit: I think Depeche Mode or New Order would be a really good replacement

New Order makes sense, but Depeche Mode could sell out this entire thing on their own a couple of times over. SoCal loves their Fast Fashion.

in this day and age, it's nearly impossible to be altruistic as a consumer of product and culture but I try to at least be mindful.

some of the largest companies in this space worldwide (outside of this space as well, I guess) are AEG and Live Nation. I can't say too much, cause, heck, a bulk of my income is from Live Nation- but Goldenvoice is overseen by the owner/CEO of AEG- Phil Anschutz. all corporations come with their own bag of problems, but that is one billionaire I do my best to not support or work for since our values are diametrically opposed.

both those companies mentioned are eating the event industry, but Rapino (CEO of LN) has given a few $100,000 over the last decade to Obama and other DNC candidates, while Anschutz donated a couple million to the RNC in 2016 and another cool million to anti-LGBTQ organizations.

he also owns the Lakers and has a hand in just about everything else, and none of these people are shining examples, but I draw little lines when and where I can. now this answer has touched on politics and this isn't the thread for it 😬:LOL: so feel free to move, mods

Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and reasoning. I love hearing about that kind of stuff.

I am in agreement with you that nowadays it is virtually impossible to stand on principle with every company you come in contact with on a daily basis. But people DO need to take a stand where they feel it is important and I applaud you for taking this stand. Even, as you say, if its just a personal line in the sand.

One of the conversations I have pretty often with my friends is that it is very inconvenient, at best, to stand up for what you believe in. But it is important. One of my favorite quotes is "Any experiment of interest in life will be carried out at your own expense". This applies to when/where you think is appropriate to take a stand. Well done, flyest of Bs.
