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.
Fuck Christian groups

OK so basically nothing. Those companies combined are worth hundreds of billions. Maybe even over one trillion in total.
Walmart alone has a market cap of $558 billion.
My guess is Walmart will cave, Costco won’t. Target waits to see what happens before making official moves.
I dunno. Where are these Christian groups going to shop besides Walmart? We know they can’t afford anywhere else and if they could, they wouldn’t be shopping at Walmart.
This is the kinda shit that they do that makes church membership go down. It’s been on a downward trend for decades, and they still think they’re some kind of powerful majority. Fuck. Off.
Who fuckin cares what a bunch of dumbfuck religious fuckwits think‽ Where are the stupid idiots who push bullshit going to shop? Walmart pushed out alternatives years, so they have no choice. Shut the fuck you bassakward assholes
