Companies offering the drug risk reputation and legal repercussions, according to an Aug. 2 letter sent to CEOs at the two retail giants, as well as Kroger, Albertsons and medical distribution company McKesson Corp. The group said 6,000 Costco customers have signed a petition saying they will cancel their membership if the retailer starts selling the pills.
The religious coalition behind the petition owns about $172 million in shares of the five companies. The coalition was led by Boise, Idaho-based Inspire Investing, which manages $3 billion of assets, and includes the investment arm of the Southern Baptist churches and the American Family Association, a Christian fundamentalist group.
Anyone want to start a petition to cancel their Costco membership if they capitulate?
Yes please someone start one. I hardly go since grocery prices are too damn high to be able to afford to bulk buy. I can either get a weeks groceries or I can get 3 months of TP and a few other items.
That sounds like single with no kids lol
I digress, I do now shop at a local store for most things. Cost the same as Costco for less groceries, but there’s less waste
investment arm of the Southern Baptist churches
I’m not one of those people who complains about religious tax exemptions and the like. But if you have an “investment arm” then you are not a church, you are some sort of weird, cultist bank.
And we need to pass as federal law, the moment a church or religious group with any tax exempt status tries to get political they instantly lose tax exempt status and now owe all the back taxes and penalties due to not paying taxes. Make it painful to be stupid
Stop giving in to christofascists.
Wait, six thousand??? This really might get serious if they increase their petition by like a hundred thousand more.
