Their high-performance tires didn't break the bank, were exceptionally sticky, wore fairly well, and didn't hydroplane in 1/16" of water like some others.
To be fair I'm gonna wait a week before I buy a new set of tires and see whether Goodyear issues a mea culpa or not
They can double down or they can admit their mistake and be forgiven
If this was just some woke intern at a 3rd party diversity inclusion training seminar they hired because corporate were being pandering dipshits, they can learn from their mistake. If this is their policy, they can eat woke dick
Getting that slide in a presentation takes a lot of metastasizing of woke cancer. Nothing they can say in one day will deny what must have been years in the making at Goodyear.
Say I was a big corporate board wanting to buy back company stock at pennies on the dollar, screwing over the shareholders.
How could I temporarily cause a dip in stock value?
They'll learn when we do what the President says in this tweet. The wokesters are just noisy, we're the ones spending money at retail. If Republican voters weaponized their wallets half as well as Democrat voters weaponize their mouths, this woketarded crap would be over already.
It's true and it happens over and over again... who would think alienating 50 or so percent of the market to placate maybe 8% or so (if that) would be a failing strategy.
More likely 0. The people who screech about these things don't even buy these things. They just want to ruin things for others and force their beliefs onto them.
Occasionally I'd buy Land O Lakes butter if it was the better deal. Since they deleted the nice Native American lady from their label, that was designed by a Native American, I've seen their butter on sale a few times and reached right past for something else more expensive. I'll never buy again, and it's not because I'm upset bc it was my favorite butter. They just made my butter-buying decisions easier.
I usually just buy the store brand. It's always cheaper and it's literally the same shit.
So far, HEB hasn't done anything woke other than require people to wear masks. But I'm not gonna fault them on that. It's mandatory now for any business to require it in this city. They don't even care if you wear one or not, honestly. A few times I've walked through the store without one and even the managers didn't give a shit.
They really fucked up here. Most of the woke crowd lives in cities where cars are not needed. Only Silicon Valley wokes and deep staters can afford cars. They essentially just limited their sales to California and DC suburbs.
They have done this crap for years. They outsourced almost everything to mexico/china years ago. The quality followed. They have been nothing but brandX for 20+ years.
How about BFG? Based company? My Goodyears are good but I'm going to take them off and throw them away. I could probably fit one up my butt at this point.
leftist are allowed to "cancel" companies by riling up their audience on twitter and they're allowed to trend, so every brainwashed commie is informed who to target.
we, the other half, aren't, and if we try to trend anything it gets banned
but if trump, the chief in command, gives the instruction, it achieves the exact same purpose
and it's all done by a single person, it's amazing tbh and he should do it more often, it worked with goya and it'll work with any company he targets
I was going through an airman's course for being a newbie at my base. During this orientation, I met this cute girl and we started talking. One thing lead to another and we ended up having sex. The next day, me being a happy guy for obvious reasons, went down to her dorm room to see if she wanted to grab breakfast at the chowhall. I knocked a couple times and there was no answer. Figured she was gone, so I left and went to get breakfast.
On my way back to my room, I get a text message from her saying good morning. I replied back and mentioned I swung by her room earlier to see if she wanted to get breakfast. She said she knew and was actually in her room when I knocked on the door. So I asked her why she didn't answer and if she was ok.
The next part I'll never forget.
She started texting me to never come by her dorm ever again and that she had notified her supervisor that I was an aggressive male because I came to her room in the morning. Next thing I know, I'm getting a call from my supervisor saying her supervisor contacted him and told him that I was showing signs of being a potential rapist. Next thing I know, SECURITY FORCES were at my door and they wanted to ask me a couple questions.
If it wasn't for the camera footage they had of me, I would have been in jail. Luckily, the footage showed me leaving my room, doing laundry, going downstairs, knocking on the door, then leaving to get breakfast. There was no evidence to suggest anything else was happening. And the girl even admitted that we had consentual sex the night before.
After that experience, I vowed to NEVER get involved with a co-worker from anyplace I work.
I mean if you're a small company that wants to have a political bent, that's fine with me. Just don't expect people to patronize you that don't agree. A big corporation doing that is just stupid.
This is why I love the company I work for. We're pretty big (~15,000 globally) and from the top down, it's pretty much just shut the fuck up and sell good products.
Same here, first 3d shooter I played was Wolfenstein 3D on the PC, the second was Doom. I still remember the cheat codes like IDDFK or something like that. Good times.
I've been almost exclusively buying Michelin for years. I've also gone with Yokohama and also Bridgestone for winter tires because the Japanese are based anyway.
I just looked up cooper AT’s. They look great. Reviews are good and several videos on YouTube say the same. My Goodyear’s are new but you can bet I’ll not buy them when the time comes. Came on my truck, however just like Dicks, I’ll spend my money elsewhere. On that note, Thank you Academy... your prices are better and your customer service has been good.
They are definitely reaping the benefits. I walked into a Dicks the other day just to see the traffic and it was a ghost town. Did my shopping at Academy and there were 27 people in line, not counting the family members and had six registers open. Haha.
No way one person in hr could be allowed to make a policy that alienates half the american voting population (with more rural suburban and probably driving voters...)... this is jusy plain retarded. Eagerly watching stock price
Didn't blue collar workers vote more for Trump too? Those are the mechanics who recommend what tires you should get. A 25 year old basement dwelling leftist doesn't know anything about tires, lol.
These manufacturing plants are in rural or industrial areas. Who do they think live and work in those areas? In NC you're out in the middle of nowhere with a high school educated work force and it's the only good job for miles.
Notice their wording; they are framing their stance with the idea that BLM is purely about equity and isn't political, whereas the shunned statements are not about equity and MAGA is explicitly political.
Equity is a very left political ideal and is just as political as MAGA or Blue Lives Matter.
I hope GEOTUS can point this out in the debates because they will bring it up. "Why do you criticize BLM, Mr. President? Do you support white privilege?"
That or he can just point out the hypocrisy of Goodyear allowing BLM expressions but not other pro-American expressions.
Yeah, "equity" is specifically a social justice term. I got one of them to show me an essay once. Literally had a paragraph explaining that equality is the wrong word because it leaves out "fairness" and so they use the word "equity" instead.
It basically said every country in the world has a majority and a minority, and the majority holds the most power by virtue of being the majority. To achieve equity, the minority should behave in ways that disrupt and seize the majority's power.
Social justice basically calls for chaos in every country in the world, but they only apply its philosophy in capitalist countries.
Had this argument with my dad earlier about why BLM is political. Aside from the marxist manifesto, statements of leaders (and chants at "peaceful protests") you have the donations to ActBlue. They get away with murder, literally and metaphorically, because of a dishonest and cowardly media.
If they banned all political apparel at large, including democrat merch, it would be pretty sensible. Most workplaces are like this already and it’s a good thing, because the last thing people need is to have an underlying political friction with coworkers.
But if they banned specifically MAGA hats or Trump merch, they can get BTFO’d, especially so if they turned their flag into a rainbow for Pride month or black for BLM and don’t realize the hypocrisy.
Shame because I liked the blimp. I could take the kids to a baseball game and tell them about buoyancy during the hour long interludes between pitches.
They also banned Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter.
In other variations, itd be like banning all Christian necklaces and trinkets, but all muslim items are acceptable. This was an extremely stupid move by Goodyear and those folks who designed and signed off on this should absolutely be terminated. This is blatant and open workplace discrimination they’ve engaged in.
It could be argued that BLM isn't endorsing a specific candidate. Yes, we all know it is, but you could make the argument. Also does anyone know the specific wording of the rule.
Rule 23a.
"No items endorsing a political candidate or party may be worn, for example "MAGA" attire."
or
Rule 23a
"No items may be worn with the MAGA logo or statement on them".
Also they didn't call out Biden wear, they specified MAGA wear. Pretty obvious that car guys lean towards Trump so the HR tards needed to crack down on it. Like you said, though, they have plausible deniability.
Luckily, this isn't a court of law, so we can still tell them to go fuck themselves and not buy their tires.
I don't think any major company should be taking a side in politics or doing politics. They're making tires. There's hardly anything political about it. If they took a position on tax rates for something to do with tire production then I might understand but this is nothing to do with their business or product.
This isn't just political though. It's racial should disgust people even more especially as that's against the law.
This is going to knock them down to the mat hard. Woke lefties don't care about tires. Most have never bought a tire in their life but we do. This woke business is insane on all levels with some extreme naivety and arrogance involved.
The stupidity of throwing away your business to try to make people who hate your company and don't buy your product happy by throwing away people who buy your product is bat shit nuts.no more Kelly or Firestone for me.
Leftist twitter mob started attacking companies that refuse to bend the knee, companies start pandering to avoid losing money, right wing people get sick of brands they've known for decades selling out to marxists and stop buying their shit. Related is the chic fil et (however you spell it) phenomenon, when leftists tried to boycott the restaurant and it was their best day of sales ever since right wingers counter acted it.
At the debates Trump just needs to lean into the microphone and say it.
"Mr. President, what do you say to critics who accuse you of pandering to the extreme right-wing, majority white voter base of the Republican party when you do things like attacking BLM and calling for boycotts of private companies on twitter? Is that really something a sitting president should be doing?"
Well, here's what I discovered about buying my razors online: when the handle breaks (as my barbasol one did after about a year) you're fucked. You can't get a replacement handle for weeks. Barbasol's razors were good, but the handle is a cheap piece of shit and they take FOREVER to ship something.
There was one shipment of razors that USPS lost (surprise) and they took 4 weeks to send me replacements, which arrived after my next shipment did.
SPEZ - and by the way NOBODY carries the barbasol replacement handle in stores. I looked everywhere. They only carry the disposable ones.
I was using Barbasol shave club. The razors are fine, but the handle broke in about a year (and I'm reasonably careful with my stuff so that was a bit strange) and no store carries the handle, or even the handle with some razors, so my only option was to order it from their website and they take forever to ship anything (as I discovered when USPS lost a delivery of razors).
As far as I could tell Barbasol was the most based of the options.
Yeah I thought about that, too. I'm pretty careless with my razor strokes, go fast and loose. With the old style razors Id probably end up looking like Freddy Krueger.
They own Just Tires and they'll have discontinued tires on their website to pull you in, can even reserve them for your appointment but won't have them when you get in. Fuck those bait and switch faggots.
Which reminds me, my normally I was was grocery shopping with my normally non political mother and she passed by the cheaper chickpeas to buy some Goya ones because in her words "They actually like America."
lol this will have two effects… People with TDS will buy Goodyear.
MAGA people who have money to consistently buy Goodyear tires wont buy.
Which one will allow them to get woke go broke? Hhmmm
But you know who makes a lot of tire-buying decisions? Truckers and mechanics. Now I can't be sure, but I'm going to guess most of those guys aren't going to care much for Goodyear now.
All those blue collar mechanics are big socialists, lol. Totally don't lean Trump. And it's not like they recommend which tires people get or something like that. Lol.
The TDS business will spike and fade away. Goodyear has lost my business for a lifetime just like Nike, Starbucks, Kellogg’s, REI, Dicks, Patagonia and many others. This is a stain on many years and many dollars of branding that won’t wash off.
I'd say our side probably pays more attention to things like tire brand loyalty. Sure, a few lefties will ask specifically for Goodyears at Costco, but it won't be close to the impact we have. This is like Trump calling out a woke gun making company.
Cyclists are some of the most selective people in the world about their components. That is not the right direction to go in at all unless they can actually make something worthwhile.
When I was a kid, a faggot bicyclist swerved in front of our car and got honked at. Then he followed us to school and banged on her car window, right in front of school.
It doesn't matter what the slogan is to the racist left, reason is lost on them. Your slogan could be "It's not okay to rape", and they'll say "It's a dogwhistle to demonize black people".
Dang...they’ll be cranking up the unemployment numbers. Non-lefty workers should have already been looking for other work as soon as that HR message was sent out.
Unfuckingbelievable, Goodyear. At least it will be a matched set, right/. GY blimp flying over the Burn/Loot/Murder football games, basketball games, baseball games, noosecar races, et al.
Because the person who made that slide is almost certainly some SJW university grad in a blue state at corporate office, while most Goodyear factories are probably in red states
The plant the picture was taken at is in Topeka, KS. I know many that work there. Most are old school Union Democrats. They are also pissed off about it and it will be interesting to see if the county votes for Trump this time.
The President's right. We have to start playing. Doing nothing and staying on the sidelines lets companies and politicians think its okay to play favorites with ideologies (blm, wokeness, ect) while openly be against us who simple support the PRESIDENT. Crazy world.
We all know who it is. It starts with an S and rhymes with italian wine. Trump said the madman shows him the best memes when they have a minute of downtime.
Goodyear is on the higher prices side of things too so the mob is going to need to blow what is left of their unemployment on tires if they want to oppose Trump I guess.
Madman
He did it!
Savage. Eat woke dick Goodyear.
You’re lookin quite perky today
i tried to send a message but the form wouldnt accept it. have others been able to send messages?
I did earlier with no problem. Could be too much input for their system to take. That or fingers being jammed in ears, metaphorically speaking.
also a good idea because more conservatives drive cars than liberals
Just remember Good Year owns Dunlop, Goodyear, Fulda, Falken and Kelly.
I sent one. Name was I. MAGA, 123 Trump Country, AZ 20200.45, made up email was [email protected]. That went thru :)
Damn now my email is going yo be flooded with goodyear spam.
Very creative!
Yes was able to send a message.
George Floyd.
[email protected]
Honk honk mother fuckers.
Simple but to the point.
Some poor guy whose mom couldn't spell Ferdinand is now like what the fuck is it with all these emails from Goodyear in my inbox?
Customer service "down for routine maintenance", yeah right, good job pedes
Global HQ Voice line busy also, so going the online fax route.
Would be a shame if it's a physical fax and a bigger shame if you faxed them full page black rectangles.
Black Rectangles Matter!
I almost felt bad for customer service, but then I remembered the circlejerk they put me through a few years back.
Don't you been Fentanyl Floyd?
Thats a good one
Racist. What are some good based tire manufacturers?
Look at Coopers. They are made in USA.
made in Texarkana, tx
My new go to, I got 4 vehicles. 16 tires.
Cooper's are quite good, and typically well priced for the quality
Got Coopers on my truck! So far so good
Liberals trying to claim that Goodyear is the only American tire company.
Hankook has a huge manufacturing plant in TN, so does Bridgestone.
Neither of which are American owned though
Never had a bad set of BF Goodrich tires.
Their high-performance tires didn't break the bank, were exceptionally sticky, wore fairly well, and didn't hydroplane in 1/16" of water like some others.
All Terrains KO2, solid tire, quiet, robust and good on wear.
no one has. china tires.
So you are supporting the Communist?
I think Michelin makes that best
Michelin's never die though. You just get sick of them before they ever run out of tread.
Pirelli is Chinese owned.
Owner: ChemChina (45.5%)
It's a trap!
name checks out
To be fair I'm gonna wait a week before I buy a new set of tires and see whether Goodyear issues a mea culpa or not
They can double down or they can admit their mistake and be forgiven
If this was just some woke intern at a 3rd party diversity inclusion training seminar they hired because corporate were being pandering dipshits, they can learn from their mistake. If this is their policy, they can eat woke dick
Just buy Michelin’s or Continental. Both are better
Cooper or Toyo if you're offroading
cooper are good for that
I use goodrich on the land cruiser.
CRUISERBUDDIES UNITE!!
FJ80 here, whatcha drivin?
Michelin Defenders are a good value
Bridgestone and BF Goodrich as well, depending on your tire needs.
He either had approval or bypassed a lot of checkpoints to post this shit as company policy to a whole plant.
Getting that slide in a presentation takes a lot of metastasizing of woke cancer. Nothing they can say in one day will deny what must have been years in the making at Goodyear.
They can come out and say that’s not their material blah blah blah
Why even bother with goodyear when there is Michelin.
Say I was a big corporate board wanting to buy back company stock at pennies on the dollar, screwing over the shareholders. How could I temporarily cause a dip in stock value?
lol @ temporary
Just say the CEO is racist or something much easier
screw goodyear. BAD TIRES NOT WORTH A DAMN.
lol.
Buy Cooper. Made in the USA and is based
I actually do need new tires before winter. It's about time. I'll look into them.
My daddy was making Cooper tires ,when he was drafted for Vietnam. Good brand.
Made a good tire and kept their fucking mouths shut. The bar is low
It's gotten to the point I'm starting to think it's intentional.
The only color I know, is green.
Outside the business, I'm vocal as fuck. In our business, our number 1 rule is NO POLITICS.
All you have to do these days to stay in business is sell your products, promote your products, and shut the fuck up about politics and religion.
Done fucking deal.
they support trump
I like my Coopers!
I spy with my eye 👀 ONE commie faggot
Spez: The down votes, not you....
Confirmed.
The mad man did it, again!
These companies get a VP of inclusion and diversity and then attack their customers and employees.
When will they learn!
They'll learn when we do what the President says in this tweet. The wokesters are just noisy, we're the ones spending money at retail. If Republican voters weaponized their wallets half as well as Democrat voters weaponize their mouths, this woketarded crap would be over already.
It's true and it happens over and over again... who would think alienating 50 or so percent of the market to placate maybe 8% or so (if that) would be a failing strategy.
More likely 0. The people who screech about these things don't even buy these things. They just want to ruin things for others and force their beliefs onto them.
It's true, I've seen it.
No, they lease or borrow money to have use of them.
No, they lease or borrow money to have use of them.
Occasionally I'd buy Land O Lakes butter if it was the better deal. Since they deleted the nice Native American lady from their label, that was designed by a Native American, I've seen their butter on sale a few times and reached right past for something else more expensive. I'll never buy again, and it's not because I'm upset bc it was my favorite butter. They just made my butter-buying decisions easier.
Kerrigold is a whole different level and is almost the same price if you get it at Costco.
My gf has used the same basic chocolate chip cookie recipe my whole life, but when she used kerrigold, it felt like I was going out with Mrs. Fields.
Funny thing about that package...they removed the Indian and kept the Land.
Typical idiocy
I usually just buy the store brand. It's always cheaper and it's literally the same shit.
So far, HEB hasn't done anything woke other than require people to wear masks. But I'm not gonna fault them on that. It's mandatory now for any business to require it in this city. They don't even care if you wear one or not, honestly. A few times I've walked through the store without one and even the managers didn't give a shit.
I switched to challenge butter and an just as happy.butters butter.keep the politics out of my breakfast and I'll be happy.
They really fucked up here. Most of the woke crowd lives in cities where cars are not needed. Only Silicon Valley wokes and deep staters can afford cars. They essentially just limited their sales to California and DC suburbs.
When will we give helicopter rides to commies?
Hopefully sooner than later. My hogs are hungry and my fruit trees need fertilizer
Whenever that happens we'll need a Pinochet or if we're unlucky a Franco. Someone with an iron fist to crush these fuckers and their handlers.
2nd term Trump. Optics no longer matter
thats what I'm really banking on. Trump 2: Unleashed
Get woke go broke, fuckers
Alienate your work force and 75% of your customers. Great business model, Goodyear!
Half of ultra left ride busses or just stay at home anyways lol
Those fat freaks can’t even drive. Why do you think we need public transportation?
Fill your marketing department with lefty cucks, promote the lefty cucks to executive positions, alienate your core customers, go broke. Every time.
They have done this crap for years. They outsourced almost everything to mexico/china years ago. The quality followed. They have been nothing but brandX for 20+ years.
I've seen this one before. Remember Gillette?
I always find it funny how the message is to be inclusive but then you alienate 1/2 the people in the USA
Gloves off.
FUCK YEAH!
This is a tweet sinking missile the likes we have never seen.
He knows how to tread on their faces
I’m still not tired of winning!
Nice one, ya big lug
Hahahaha! Oh dad!
take your upvote and get out.
hahahahh oh this got me
How about BFG? Based company? My Goodyears are good but I'm going to take them off and throw them away. I could probably fit one up my butt at this point.
Use them up, don't waste money. Buy another gun or something instead
I'm a pretty big faggot, so Goodyears are probably good for me.
Username checks out
Your comments are gold
BFG is owned by Michelin. No, they’re not based but Michelin makes some of the best tires and BFG makes solid AT tires. Goodyear isn’t very good.
Bridgestone is good. They are about the same price range as Goodyear but imo they are a better tire. They are also made in USA.
Oh man, lefties and the MSM (but I repeat myself) are going to reeeeeeeeeee about this. 😂
But just like the NBA, MLB, et al...why would I want to give my money to a company/organization that promotes hatred of my country and my beliefs?
That’s great news
It used to be, but so many salty tears is bad for my sodium levels. 😉
Make blood pressure great again.
this is exactly what we needed, let me explain:
leftist are allowed to "cancel" companies by riling up their audience on twitter and they're allowed to trend, so every brainwashed commie is informed who to target.
we, the other half, aren't, and if we try to trend anything it gets banned
but if trump, the chief in command, gives the instruction, it achieves the exact same purpose
and it's all done by a single person, it's amazing tbh and he should do it more often, it worked with goya and it'll work with any company he targets
They're going to lose their fucking minds over this. It's about time we played a little public offense.
This is what will cause the end of workplace activism. Either you allow all politics to be open (terrible idea) or you ban all of them (smart choice).
Your teams should not be infighting and indoctrinating each other. They should be WORKING together.
Sex and politics have no place in a happy and effective workforce. They are poisons.
Politics in the open is fine as long as one faction isn't insane. I'm a child of the 80s, and back then, you could support whoever you wanted to.
i work in a leftist environment and enjoy dropping little redpills
i dont give a shit its not like i have a proper career anyways
the urge to bang a coworker is sometimes overwhelming I just have to tell you.
Can't say I agree with you... Of course 100% of my coworkers are other men. And being a Proud Straight Man, it's not my thing.
I did it once, and I'll NEVER DO IT AGAIN.
This happened to me while I was in the military.
Story time.
I was going through an airman's course for being a newbie at my base. During this orientation, I met this cute girl and we started talking. One thing lead to another and we ended up having sex. The next day, me being a happy guy for obvious reasons, went down to her dorm room to see if she wanted to grab breakfast at the chowhall. I knocked a couple times and there was no answer. Figured she was gone, so I left and went to get breakfast.
On my way back to my room, I get a text message from her saying good morning. I replied back and mentioned I swung by her room earlier to see if she wanted to get breakfast. She said she knew and was actually in her room when I knocked on the door. So I asked her why she didn't answer and if she was ok.
The next part I'll never forget.
She started texting me to never come by her dorm ever again and that she had notified her supervisor that I was an aggressive male because I came to her room in the morning. Next thing I know, I'm getting a call from my supervisor saying her supervisor contacted him and told him that I was showing signs of being a potential rapist. Next thing I know, SECURITY FORCES were at my door and they wanted to ask me a couple questions.
If it wasn't for the camera footage they had of me, I would have been in jail. Luckily, the footage showed me leaving my room, doing laundry, going downstairs, knocking on the door, then leaving to get breakfast. There was no evidence to suggest anything else was happening. And the girl even admitted that we had consentual sex the night before.
After that experience, I vowed to NEVER get involved with a co-worker from anyplace I work.
These dynamics always exist in relationships in the workplace.
Not a good idea to bring this stuff anywhere near your work.
I mean if you're a small company that wants to have a political bent, that's fine with me. Just don't expect people to patronize you that don't agree. A big corporation doing that is just stupid.
If your business model is built around politics, then sure.
But if you're just trying to sell a product or run a restaurant, politics have no place there.
If 75 million a day doesn't do it they have already failed.
I Already started. Sick of the silent majority.
Needs to be VocalMajority, and Quick!
I added Goodyear to the video of the man being kicked in face in Portland, etc still going
But how can they complain about the rules of their own cancel culture?
Trump knows how to stir the pot. He knows how to force the hypocrisy into the open. He controls the media and the conversation like no one I've seen.
God I'm going to miss him in 2025.
Trump is using cancel culture now, therefore it has always been bad and of course the Left has always opposed it.
They all have ties to china
https://corporate.goodyear.com/en-US/media/news/goodyear-expands-tire-factory-in-china.html
"Goodyear was the first global tire manufacturer to enter China"
Even another reason to boycott Goodyear.
BLM is a Marxist organization.
Marxism is anti-American.
They're also racists.
That's all we have to say.
(but I do hope GEOTUS is prepared to elaborate on the problem with BLM and "anti-racism" in the debates)
Good!!!
If you sell tires and you’re smart, you will apply the GOYA approach and have your best year ever.
Yep
or just don't get involved.... its easy to just not take a stance at all.
corporate policy: shut the fuck up. sell products to everyone.
it's really that easy! but so many can't manage that.
This is why I love the company I work for. We're pretty big (~15,000 globally) and from the top down, it's pretty much just shut the fuck up and sell good products.
Waiting for a company to do so. I will be needing at least one new set of tires by the end of the year, great timing.
Megalovania starts playing
No one with an sense believes that BLM isn't a political organization.
Press “H” to HONK HONK
So that means White Lives Matter is fine, right?
Good Year? More like Good Riddance!
Already have been. The company has not been doing well
A lot of this "get woke" crap is failing companies thinking they can reach new markets by virtue-signalling for diversity.
Goodyear is A WASTE.
Goodyear is a mess.
Goodyear is a big fat mistake.
Progressively more airhorns!
You know it.
I know it.
Everybody knows it.
Please clap.
<shoulder shrug> Please roll.
You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
Only Goodyear
Believe me.
I say this every night, every day and every afternoon. And it's so true.
Get woke, go broke.
Edit : I've always been a General tires man, myself.
I got BFGs on my CJ5
Got Goodyears a few months ago on my 98 Ranger. Never again.
Then go do some Bernouts.
Nah I'm still gonna use them but I'm probably going back to either BFG or just get some Micheline next time. I've heard General Tire is good too.
I'm old enough to have played the original Doom using only a keyboard.
Same here, first 3d shooter I played was Wolfenstein 3D on the PC, the second was Doom. I still remember the cheat codes like IDDFK or something like that. Good times.
I've been almost exclusively buying Michelin for years. I've also gone with Yokohama and also Bridgestone for winter tires because the Japanese are based anyway.
I like Asics shoes from the Japanese.
This is just a plot from Drumph to release his own tires called Trump Tires!! He doesnt really want to win!!!1
I bought the Trump branded brakes, but I’m afraid they have a defect and are non-functional.
that problem is particularly severe on their train brakes
It's a feature not a bug!
That’s no a defect, that’s a feature!
I'd buy them
I’m going to visit the Trump tire if I ever go to New York City.
No brakes.
Just went to Cooper. Brother in law swears by them so figured what the hell.
I just looked up cooper AT’s. They look great. Reviews are good and several videos on YouTube say the same. My Goodyear’s are new but you can bet I’ll not buy them when the time comes. Came on my truck, however just like Dicks, I’ll spend my money elsewhere. On that note, Thank you Academy... your prices are better and your customer service has been good.
Academy has been a fucking lifesaver for ammo lately.
They've been getting huge deliveries everyday and I managed to stock up on some 223 because of it. God I love them.
They are definitely reaping the benefits. I walked into a Dicks the other day just to see the traffic and it was a ghost town. Did my shopping at Academy and there were 27 people in line, not counting the family members and had six registers open. Haha.
So good! Im sure their investors are happy they are massive Cucks now. Can you imagine? Record year in Arms and ammo sale
Just bought some General’s Altimax Rt43’s for a SUV a couple months ago. Solid tires, and great price!
I'm partial to General myself.
Cooper! Made In USA!
They also make Mickey Thompson, Dick Cepek, Roadmaster, Mastercraft, and Starfire. I love the Micky ATZ Baja 3 on my truck!
Goodyear about to lose a lot of money
Some SJW in Goodyear's HR department is probably about to get fired over that slide they made saying BLM apparel is allowed but MAGA apparel isn't.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
No way one person in hr could be allowed to make a policy that alienates half the american voting population (with more rural suburban and probably driving voters...)... this is jusy plain retarded. Eagerly watching stock price
Didn't blue collar workers vote more for Trump too? Those are the mechanics who recommend what tires you should get. A 25 year old basement dwelling leftist doesn't know anything about tires, lol.
These manufacturing plants are in rural or industrial areas. Who do they think live and work in those areas? In NC you're out in the middle of nowhere with a high school educated work force and it's the only good job for miles.
Looks like the stock's going down
Down 4.2% and falling.
The left hates cars, they think everyone should ride solar powered bicycles. Pretty sure the motorsports industry is dying because of all the soy.
Notice their wording; they are framing their stance with the idea that BLM is purely about equity and isn't political, whereas the shunned statements are not about equity and MAGA is explicitly political.
I hope GEOTUS can point this out in the debates because they will bring it up. "Why do you criticize BLM, Mr. President? Do you support white privilege?"
That or he can just point out the hypocrisy of Goodyear allowing BLM expressions but not other pro-American expressions.
Yeah, "equity" is specifically a social justice term. I got one of them to show me an essay once. Literally had a paragraph explaining that equality is the wrong word because it leaves out "fairness" and so they use the word "equity" instead.
It basically said every country in the world has a majority and a minority, and the majority holds the most power by virtue of being the majority. To achieve equity, the minority should behave in ways that disrupt and seize the majority's power.
Social justice basically calls for chaos in every country in the world, but they only apply its philosophy in capitalist countries.
Fuck their wording.
They think they're politicians and they think goodyear is the government and we have to put up with their shit.
WELCOME TO CAPITALISM, BITCH. I HAVE A CHOICE AND GUESS WHAT?
ANYTHING BUT GOODYEAR
Had this argument with my dad earlier about why BLM is political. Aside from the marxist manifesto, statements of leaders (and chants at "peaceful protests") you have the donations to ActBlue. They get away with murder, literally and metaphorically, because of a dishonest and cowardly media.
the keep hiring that lady who put Sports Authority under, she's at Dicks and look what's happening there
Wait, does this only apply to employees? Just an HR thing?
It's still dumb, but ever so slightly less so.
If they banned all political apparel at large, including democrat merch, it would be pretty sensible. Most workplaces are like this already and it’s a good thing, because the last thing people need is to have an underlying political friction with coworkers.
But if they banned specifically MAGA hats or Trump merch, they can get BTFO’d, especially so if they turned their flag into a rainbow for Pride month or black for BLM and don’t realize the hypocrisy.
Shame because I liked the blimp. I could take the kids to a baseball game and tell them about buoyancy during the hour long interludes between pitches.
They also banned Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter.
In other variations, itd be like banning all Christian necklaces and trinkets, but all muslim items are acceptable. This was an extremely stupid move by Goodyear and those folks who designed and signed off on this should absolutely be terminated. This is blatant and open workplace discrimination they’ve engaged in.
It could be argued that BLM isn't endorsing a specific candidate. Yes, we all know it is, but you could make the argument. Also does anyone know the specific wording of the rule.
Rule 23a.
"No items endorsing a political candidate or party may be worn, for example "MAGA" attire."
or
Rule 23a
"No items may be worn with the MAGA logo or statement on them".
Phrasing matters.
Also they didn't call out Biden wear, they specified MAGA wear. Pretty obvious that car guys lean towards Trump so the HR tards needed to crack down on it. Like you said, though, they have plausible deniability.
Luckily, this isn't a court of law, so we can still tell them to go fuck themselves and not buy their tires.
I agree, but even if they didn’t pseudo-endorse the left, it is still political speech.
Same way that “support the 2nd amendment” shirts are still “political” even though it’s not directly an endorsement of the Republican Party.
This isn't a court of law and we all know what they are really saying.
I don't think any major company should be taking a side in politics or doing politics. They're making tires. There's hardly anything political about it. If they took a position on tax rates for something to do with tire production then I might understand but this is nothing to do with their business or product.
This isn't just political though. It's racial should disgust people even more especially as that's against the law.
Haha correct. Most SJWs don’t own evil global warming human transport vehicles😈
All lives splatter
Sell sell sell!
Seriously. Make them tank and go out of business by the end of the year.
This is going to knock them down to the mat hard. Woke lefties don't care about tires. Most have never bought a tire in their life but we do. This woke business is insane on all levels with some extreme naivety and arrogance involved.
Anything but Goodyear
The stupidity of throwing away your business to try to make people who hate your company and don't buy your product happy by throwing away people who buy your product is bat shit nuts.no more Kelly or Firestone for me.
I'm about to short the fuck out of their stock, just because I can.
Leftist twitter mob started attacking companies that refuse to bend the knee, companies start pandering to avoid losing money, right wing people get sick of brands they've known for decades selling out to marxists and stop buying their shit. Related is the chic fil et (however you spell it) phenomenon, when leftists tried to boycott the restaurant and it was their best day of sales ever since right wingers counter acted it.
People in the company are hiring "woke" people who are running their fucking mouths.
They hire "college" educated woke retards to destroy their companies.
One of the few advantages to buying second hand stuff and making it last. Little of my $ is going to these sick excuses of business.
Fuck Badyear tires!
👍👍👍
Perfect for 2020
for real. let's out the treason. Goodyear is basically a Chinese company now anyway.
"G--kyear" tires.
I'd rather buy Hankooks than Goodyears.
Just say no to Cuckyear!
Exactly
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
At the debates Trump just needs to lean into the microphone and say it.
"Mr. President, what do you say to critics who accuse you of pandering to the extreme right-wing, majority white voter base of the Republican party when you do things like attacking BLM and calling for boycotts of private companies on twitter? Is that really something a sitting president should be doing?"
...
"GET WOKE GO BROKE!"
*massive applause*
TRUTH....HIT THEM IN THE WALLET!!!
Hit them 10 times harder!!
Gather up the homeless. Put them to work and dig some holes for all the salty tears !!!
My blood pressure is gonna be enough to pop a shitty goodyear tire, slow down!
Still won't buy a Gillette razor.
Notice how Gillette has started to come back with commercials geared toward "manly men"...
Sorry Gillette already showed their colors. Fuck em.
Too late.
Ditto. Using Harry’s currently. Works ok!
Well, here's what I discovered about buying my razors online: when the handle breaks (as my barbasol one did after about a year) you're fucked. You can't get a replacement handle for weeks. Barbasol's razors were good, but the handle is a cheap piece of shit and they take FOREVER to ship something.
There was one shipment of razors that USPS lost (surprise) and they took 4 weeks to send me replacements, which arrived after my next shipment did.
SPEZ - and by the way NOBODY carries the barbasol replacement handle in stores. I looked everywhere. They only carry the disposable ones.
Barbasol's razors don't shave as well as Gillette either unfortunately. But that's something I'm OK living with on principle.
Yeah, I cant STAND the fact that I used the MACH 3 for 20 years and they got woke and now I can't find a razor that beats it.
I got a thick dark beard on a big face and I shave it every day.
dafuq!
DIdn't they cuck out too? I think Barbasol is the only shaving company that hasn't gone woke since the Gillette fiasco.
Yes Harry is cucked too.
Same. Works like a razor. I don't know why I need a razor that sucks my dick.
Plenty of other razor manufacturers on the market. And when I see someone using a Gillette razor I know they're a cuck.
I was using Barbasol shave club. The razors are fine, but the handle broke in about a year (and I'm reasonably careful with my stuff so that was a bit strange) and no store carries the handle, or even the handle with some razors, so my only option was to order it from their website and they take forever to ship anything (as I discovered when USPS lost a delivery of razors).
As far as I could tell Barbasol was the most based of the options.
Yeah I thought about that, too. I'm pretty careless with my razor strokes, go fast and loose. With the old style razors Id probably end up looking like Freddy Krueger.
Cooper tires -- Made in the USA
Great tires!!!
goodyear is dishonest too. they lie to you about your car and try to upsell you. there's plenty of other places to go, so go there instead.
Discount tire is a great company to deal with.
Just don't buy Goodyear's there.
Firestone is pretty good, I think.
Isnt Firestone associated with Ford? I know the Lions owners name is Martha Firestone Ford. Last i heard Ford donated to BLM
Is the Ford foundation (globalists) connected to the car company?
Did Henry ford build aushwitz?
They were owned by Kelly who was or is owned by Goodyear.
Anything but Goodyear
They own Just Tires and they'll have discontinued tires on their website to pull you in, can even reserve them for your appointment but won't have them when you get in. Fuck those bait and switch faggots.
This is gonna be good. Remember how pissed the left got when Trump posed with a bunch of Goya products?
Which reminds me, my normally I was was grocery shopping with my normally non political mother and she passed by the cheaper chickpeas to buy some Goya ones because in her words "They actually like America."
I wish we had a picture of the crew At Goodyear that thought this shit up???
Probably these fucking faggot-fucks
Gross
Nike shoes, fitting.
Hahahahahaha !!!!
pretty sure the people with TDS won't be the ones buying the tires for their mom's car
Exactly. I was about to say precisely this.
But you know who makes a lot of tire-buying decisions? Truckers and mechanics. Now I can't be sure, but I'm going to guess most of those guys aren't going to care much for Goodyear now.
All those blue collar mechanics are big socialists, lol. Totally don't lean Trump. And it's not like they recommend which tires people get or something like that. Lol.
The TDS business will spike and fade away. Goodyear has lost my business for a lifetime just like Nike, Starbucks, Kellogg’s, REI, Dicks, Patagonia and many others. This is a stain on many years and many dollars of branding that won’t wash off.
I'd say our side probably pays more attention to things like tire brand loyalty. Sure, a few lefties will ask specifically for Goodyears at Costco, but it won't be close to the impact we have. This is like Trump calling out a woke gun making company.
I will never buy another Goodyear tire as long as I live, and I will tell my children that Goodyear tires are shit and to never buy them.
Fuck around, find out.
When I buy my next car, I will demand that the tires do not come with Goodyear, if they are on the car - No deal. Replace them or I walk.
Cancel commies
Gloves are off, I guess. Good luck changing your assembly line to produce bike tires.
Cyclists are some of the most selective people in the world about their components. That is not the right direction to go in at all unless they can actually make something worthwhile.
I wish all of these "selective cyclists" would select to obey traffic laws.
Yes, that stop sign or red light applies to bicycles too.
Bunch of spandex wearing faggots from what I've seen.
(Not you, of course, fellow pede.)
When I was a kid, a faggot bicyclist swerved in front of our car and got honked at. Then he followed us to school and banged on her car window, right in front of school.
we all ride Maxxis in mtb community.
Not sure what those road dorks ride aside from a stick up their ass
I just remembered my bike innertubes are Goodyear lol

They are a cancer to a free America
Goodyear is made in FUCK CHINA :)
OH NOES! NOT DEMOCRATS!
American?
It doesn't matter what the slogan is to the racist left, reason is lost on them. Your slogan could be "It's not okay to rape", and they'll say "It's a dogwhistle to demonize black people".
MALA

Who needs tires when your personal vehicle is a Sherman
freedom boner intensifies
lucky...
Goodyear is fucked. Say hi to Gillette for me.
Dang...they’ll be cranking up the unemployment numbers. Non-lefty workers should have already been looking for other work as soon as that HR message was sent out.
Unfuckingbelievable, Goodyear. At least it will be a matched set, right/. GY blimp flying over the Burn/Loot/Murder football games, basketball games, baseball games, noosecar races, et al.
RIP Goodyear. They had a good year.
👍👍👍
I just delivered some parts to a Good Year plant. Most people there seemed based af.
Because the person who made that slide is almost certainly some SJW university grad in a blue state at corporate office, while most Goodyear factories are probably in red states
Folks that work for a living love Trump !!!
The plant the picture was taken at is in Topeka, KS. I know many that work there. Most are old school Union Democrats. They are also pissed off about it and it will be interesting to see if the county votes for Trump this time.
Yeah, I'm sure, and it sucks for them. What are we supposed to do, though, reward the company?
Yeah, they wouldn't be banning this if nobody who worked there supported it. Censorship is all they have left.
Gloves are off from Trump!
The President's right. We have to start playing. Doing nothing and staying on the sidelines lets companies and politicians think its okay to play favorites with ideologies (blm, wokeness, ect) while openly be against us who simple support the PRESIDENT. Crazy world.
Many of us already have
Wew, lad! POTUS-requested buycott! Done and done.
Someone in Trump Administration lurks here!!!!
He probably has a dedicated .WIN reviewer and a Parler reviewer whose entire job is to lurk
Where do I apply for this job?!
We all know who it is. It starts with an S and rhymes with italian wine. Trump said the madman shows him the best memes when they have a minute of downtime.
"Here's how that violates the Emoluments Clause...or Tenure of Office Act...or something"
Nobody cares.
You can buy Goodyear in a walmart. That is all you need to know.
Goodyear is on the higher prices side of things too so the mob is going to need to blow what is left of their unemployment on tires if they want to oppose Trump I guess.
Good year ain't going to have a good year soon enough.
"Leftyear; Cause your ideology matters."
Time to push back!
Yep
LOVE THAT MAN!
Trump… Best President Ever!!
Damn, You beat me to it!
I love boycotts; haven't shopped at Amazon since they stopped selling gun parts after Sandy Hook in 2012. Avoiding Goodyear will be a peace of cake.
I go with Toyo Tires. They are fantastic.
glad I bought cooper last year
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Goodyear stock dropped 5% immediately after he sent that tweet lol
So Goodyear Is going down and doing a Kamala !!!
Go woke, get shit on by POTUS, go broke.
Lots of places to get tires!!! Goodby Goodyear !!!
Daddy super pissed...fuck these shitbirds
Goodyear’s CEO just crapped his pants.
Someone in HR is going to get destroyed by mid-afternoon.
Too late, the damage is done!
I think they will double down on their SJW path.
Anddd Goodyear goes bankrupt in 3... 2...
Something something Goodyear blimp and Hindenburg. I'm sure a talented meme artist could do something.
Oh the huMa'amity!
Yep. Goodyear is a major sponsor of HOAXCAR!!!
The Age of Ma'am is over. The Time of the MAGA has come. P.s. the orc sounded like dr claw from inspector gadget
Omg I spit out my drink when I got this notification on my phone 🤣🤣🤣
Was it covefefe?
Other (non-woke) tire companies: Ahhhhh HA HA HA HA!
