Patagonia’s CEO is donating company’s entire $10M Trump tax cut to fight climate change.
Now I am sure she and many other feelings oriented individuals saw this as an "in your face" to President Trump, but I entered my response and hopefully she will understand and see the the true grandstanding in this action. In yet another way, maybe she will see the true good in what has been accomplished by this President.
I enter that response here, because I have a feeling that I may be on the eve of another family member unfriending me and erasing what wisdom I can try and impart.
I'm sure we're supposed to see some social justice in this and how in your face to Donald Trump this is supposed to be. But look deeper folks for the true story. What I see, is a company taking money it has earned and which has not been forcefully stolen by the federal government, and spending/investing that same money has that company sees fit. Not as the federal government sees fit, but as that company and its officers deem appropriate. That is a good thing.
This wasn't Donald Trump's money. This was Patagonia's money and they spent it how they saw fit, not how a bunch of congressmen think it should be wasted. That is a good thing. but it doesn't hurt the president. So why posture about it? To politically posture to those without a true idea of what this truly means and maybe make them think that they are somehow more woke than or are better people than our president.
Of course, we will never know to what true good cause that money could have gone, maybe in buying once public lands and setting them up as a private preserve in perpetuity, (say certain lands in Utah?). However they were spent in an endeavor to show just how great this company is in regards to the green movement.
