No I do not research everything I buy and check who/what that organization may have supported at one time. When I do learn that said organization does something I strongly oppose with their money, and I try to make sure none of it is coming from me. That's reasonable, no?

No I don't think its reasonable personally to be a hypocrite. Ignorance isn't an excuse in this case. I feel its odd If you're going to take a hard stance on one thing, and then do something completely different because you "didn't know".

He probably uses an iphone and those things are made by slaves.

Exactly my point haha.

I’m not super political with my money, but they will go on my very short list of “avoid supporting.” I’m not trying to be cool or perfect here, I’m trying to divest in what I oppose.

Exactly my point haha.

Really? Damn, you got me so good bro!

Ohhhh, he got you Dave. Smartest guy ever with the "Well you wear shoes made in Vietnam, so there." No one has ever thought of that one.

I love that ****. You can't be for or against anything unless you are for or against ALL OF THE THINGS!!

Does this change your stance? I personally haven't bought a FW beer in over a year and I feel amazing for it. Has nothing to do with their political stance, its for other "reasons" lol.

I sincerely appreciate their response, but I will likely reach for other beers due to some uneasiness I have about the whole thing.
