(12,606 posts)1. It was completely dumb for Barilla to take a position where it will hurt their bottom line,
but in a way it is good to know where the *idiots stand.
I don't buy their pasta, and will make sure that it stays that way.
*I'm sure that many people at Barilla are good, and do not share the corporate views.

is a multi-national privately owned megacompany. It's not a mom'n'pop outfit. Sooner or later these Titans of Industry will learn to keep their bigotry silent.

(3,678 posts)6. These CEO's have a habit of forgetting that their personal opinions should be kept to themselves.
Just like that Papa John, making disparaging comments about Obamacare during the last election, a year before it even launched(!) and holding Romney fundraisers at his mansion.
I haven't eaten their pizza since.
