It's one of the reasons I don't shop there (or Amazon). The dollar is the only genuine voting power we have left in the states. Use yours wisely (and not at Chic-Fil-A or Wendy's either). I was extremely upset to give up Yeungling (the only cheap and reasonably alcoholic beer made en masse here in Pennsylvania) but knowing about the jackals running the company ruined the taste for me.Vis-a-vis other crowdfunding platforms: <a href="https://www.gameontabletop.com/" target="_blank">GameOnTabletop</a> is pretty sweet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Regarding Kickstarter unionizing: I think people keep glossing over <a href="https://slate.com/technology/2019/09/kickstarter-turmoil-union-drive-historic-tech-industry.html" target="_blank">WHY Kickstarter employees started talking about unionizing in the first place</a>. I think it's discrediting on all sides not to consider why after over a decade employees suddenly want to organize themselves. I know why nobody wants to talk about that, but a little part of me dies inside over the fact that KS Management want to grab their ankles for nazis and nooooooobody gives a naughty word about their placating attitude. Ya'll just want to keep the safety of your crowdfunding platform intact so you can keep making projects (a good thing) regardless of the other things going on with it (turning a blind eye, which I think history has emphatically taught us is a bad, bad, bad idea). For what it's worth I hope KS workers do get their union and that the people ready to get Krieger-cornholed are pushed out of the company, but I'm not putting any money into their pockets while those people are still there.</blockquote>
