Opinion: My Tractor Supply hat was a symbol. Now it’s in the garbage | CNNwww.cnn.com Tractor Supply Co. cut DEI and climate change commitments following conservative criticism. David M. Perry says the company’s actions show short-sighted assumptions about their customers, including hi...

I am amused this fine old fish now had it's CNN time. This wasn't Bob (Bob is ~18 and this was +20 and had that interesting spiked front fin. Also it was just a much bigger fish).

...wait, there's a Fish-Bob? Has "Bob" become the official term for the prototypical version of a thing, like the prefix "ur-?" And, what does this say about my Uncle Bob, who *was* pretty classically avuncular now that I think about it?

there's a specific bass I caught 8 times or so off my dock this year that I've been calling "bob."

I figured it was that fish. Didn't know you'd named it :)

i like how they were also like, oh we’ll totally have a good workplace without that disgusting DEI shit… you sure about that? you really, really sure?

because if you’re starting from a place of assuming that everyone already experiences the workplace equally, which is demonstrably pants-on-fire false… it’s not going to get better from there.

I might have to toss my TSC hat too. I don't really shop there, but when my autistic boy was going through a big tractor obsession phase, we went there often to look at the toy tractors. An inclusive culture is important to us. Would be great if TSC didn't bow to cancel culture instead.

Clear they did not think through the sales problem of alienating the Chicken Ladies with In This House signs in my suburban blue-voting neighborhood

ours only just opened last year, so going there wasn't a regular habit yet. I'm never going again, though.
