    All such decisions are motivated by money, - either by the potential of making more money, or by avoiding potential for loss of money

    LOL, no. That is a heck of a lot older than 2015. It is one of Dr Seuss works from about 90 years ago. It was probably funny back then. Do you find it funny today?

    Let me ask for the 3rd time since you are a keen defender of racism, but have not answered the question: Do you use the "N" word around kids, or are you "bowing down to the left" by not using it?

    I support the right of private companies to make these sorts of business decisions.

    If you do not like how they run their business, do not use it.

    I cannot be held responsible for your lack of reading comprehension.

    But I do think that a business should be able to fire someone for just about any reason, I do not even support "protected classes" as in my opinion they violate the Constitution. I know a Coke driver that got fired for having a picture of him drinking a Pepsi on FB. And Coke has every right to do that.

    I am an avid gun owner and the only way only the state will have guns is when I am dead and they have taken mine.

    I said it was REPORTED ON in 2015.

    No.

    Somehow you totally missed the part of my post where I answered this question.

    Exactly.

    Everything turned upside down in a matter of few years, because all of a sudden the populists (who used to be right wing) are the ones who rave about how evil the corporations are, when only few years ago they accused the other side of saying corporations are evil. People can be played into supporting / opposing anything.

    Ok, so you said that you do not use it, which means you bow down to "the left".

    Got it.

    Since when was being against the N word an exclusively left wing thing?

    The Neo-Bolsheviks want us to stop at Zebra. But I say we should go "ON BEYOND ZEBRA"!

    Exactly. That's my point. You THINK Ebay did it to "bow down to left wing", but you admit you do the same, but for other reasons.

    With any luck, this will convince eBay that there is no longer any reason to restrict selling gun parts (and thus forcing them to be sold as 'carbureuter' or 'fuel pump' parts instead). There is no pleasing the woke mob, it only makes sense to stop trying.

    What kind of ignorance makes this about the left.

    ...
    "Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog represents and supports all communities and families," it said.

    ...
    The decision to cease publication and sales of the books was made last year after months of discussion, the company told AP.

    "Dr. Seuss Enterprises listened and took feedback from our audiences including teachers, academics and specialists in the field as part of our review process. We then worked with a panel of experts, including educators, to review our catalog of titles," it said.

    How does some not know the difference between an autobiography that is history vs children's books with racist tones? Seems rather ignorant to not see a difference.

    Yes, because not allowing the trading of some Dr Seuss books is the same as being against the N word! :roflol:

    It doesn't really. It advocates everything that make us weaker.

    Oh yes, because an autobiography couldn't call black people N words who all deserve to be slaves.

    That's not from one of the books.
