The CEO was invited by Trump to make some remarks, and that CEO said some nice things about Trump.
Now AOC and a bunch of other people are boycotting Goya and offering their own adobo recipes and preferred alternate brands.
One thing: If this CEO had declined Trump's invitation, Trump himself would probably be trying to destroy the company. So how are AOC and the other boycotters any different from Trump?
The more important thing: This used to be a free country where the right to free speech was not only affirmed in the Bill of Rights, but [something vague that no1 or one of the other historians might have to help out on], I remember from grade school in the 1960s there was some guy who said he would defend to the death the right of some other guy to have a different opinion (or something like that).
But nowadays, no matter the better lifestyle for many compared with former days, and no matter the tech advances, it seems we are regressing into mob rule -- of which boycotts and cancel culture are clear examples -- which the nation's founders probably foresaw and tried to guard against with the system of governance they devised.
BTW, I don't think Trump is a builder. I think he is a destroyer. But I will continue to buy Goya products.
