Companies move overseas because their shareholders don't give two shits about where their profits come from. There is a disconnect between the every day American's beliefs and where their money can and does come from.

I was a little shocked when I read about Hobby Lobby's alleged investment practices today. While I agree with the ruling in their case, I'll be looking at my own investments in great detail over the next week in order to make a determination as to whether I am or am not supporting companies that don't coincide with my beliefs.

I'll give Hobby Lobby a pass because 'they didn't know' just like I don't know when it comes to some of the funds I have money in. But it will take me about a week to get my investment affairs in order. I would think a corporate entity could make their changes as fast if not faster than I can make my own.

So what is the relevance of my post in this thread? Blind investment empowers all of these companies whether they are good or bad. Whether you agree with them or not.

In hindsight, I probably should have started a new thread for this. Sorry for the semi-derail.

It's a Mother Jones article, but I have no reason to doubt their investigative journalism at this point.
