It’s always interesting to see how certain groups react when a company decides not to align with their beliefs or values. The recent call for a boycott of Dunkin Donuts by MAGA fans after the CEO of Rumble claimed that the coffee chain refused to advertise on their platform due to its “right-wing culture” is a perfect example.

This strategic move to buy back the Israeli franchises could be a way for the corporation to capitalize on struggling businesses in the region.… Continue reading

The decision to boycott deliveries to the city in response to this ruling is certainly a bold move, but is it the right one?
While it’s understandable that individuals may feel strongly about their political beliefs, should this really impact their ability to do their job? Trucking is a profession that requires reliability and efficiency, and refusing to transport goods to a major city like New York because of a court ruling seems counterproductive.… Continue reading
