    Can you provide a source proving you were born yesterday, or can we all agree that’s a generally reasonable assumption?

    Here’s Walmart:

    Amazon:

    I very much hope I do not need to explain NewsCorp’s ‘political contributions’ of all kinds to you.

    Or WaPo, which Bezos personally intervened in, to prevent them from endorsing Kamala.

    … The person you are incredulously doubting made a broad and general statement that is broadly generally true, but I am guessing you would want a comprehensive analysis of every company and corp in the US to validate the truth of it…

    … When, as demonstrated above, it takes an entire organization to figure this shit out for even a few major corps, because our laws regarding political donations have been fucked since Citizens United, and you have to do a massive effort of sleuthing to untangle the nested shell corporation like structure that is now commonplace in PACs.

    Costco is probably the only major retailer that leans more Dem than Rep.

    …In the event qualifications are relevant to you for assessing claim veracity, I all say this as a person who has degrees in Econ and Poli Sci, one of many specializations being Poltical Economy, who has worked for MSFT and a Fortune 500 import export middleman firm based out of Seattle that is 100% certainly shitting its proverbial pants right now.
