Wait you mean one of the most liberal companies on the planet are backing the Dems?
Say it isn’t so. |

Yvonne Chounard or however you spell it, founder of Patagonia, is an enviro-whacko 'dam buster' guy.
This should not come as any surprise. |

Yvonne Chounard or however you spell it, founder of Patagonia, is an enviro-whacko 'dam buster' guy. This should not come as any surprise. https://www.fieldandstream.com/public-land-conservation-allies-patagonia-first-lite Chouinard is one of the most pugnacious conservationists in America today. He is an upland bird hunter, and he and his family rely almost entirely on wild game for their meat (much of it given to them by hunting friends), but no one will mistake him for a good ol’ boy hunter, much less any kind of moderate. “I’m a socialist,” he says, “and I don’t apologize for that. We live in a country where the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and anybody can see where that is going. You have billionaires buying up huge chunks of land for themselves and shutting the people out of them. Look at Wyoming. You can’t even anchor a raft to fish. These people claim they even own the bottom of the river.” As for Republicans, Chouinard is infuriated by the anti-public lands and anti-environment movements in the party—and by President Trump, whom he despises—reducing the Bears Ear and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monuments at the request of Republican politicians in Utah. After Patagonia publicly protested the monument reductions, he says, “The House Natural Resources Committee was out there, telling everybody to boycott us, telling people that we make all of our clothes in Asia with slave labor.” |

YC isn't a socialist with his own capital though. He split off BD from GPIW-Patagonia to seperate the liability of climbing PPE from the cash cow clothing line. He's a typical leftist hypocrite in the vein of Soros and Bloomberg and Bill Gates. This isn't to say they don't spread their fortune around, but they lobby for policies that would have been detrimental to the conditions that allowed them to innovate, seed, and grow.
Their stuff is over-priced but well designed if it fits your build and use case. |

Every damn dollar should be traceable to a registered constituent of the office the candidate is running for (at all levels) - ie registered CA voter can't contribute to senate candidates in NV or MT.

The last catalog read like a commie handbook. I don't spend money with them anymore, but they do make some great lightweight gear.
But so do other companies, many who don't get all preachy about who I should vote for. FP. |

I'm a climber, I'm not gonna lie, I've got a handful of their Gucci-gear. Not a lot of it though since they cut me out of their pro-deal program years ago.
But come on, what kind of surprise is this? He bought a bunch of land in coastal Chile and - depending on which faction of the local population you talk to - just up and shut the gates. I mean, they did some big military contracts but then again, all of the cutting edge mountaineering companies did. Didn't mean they weren't made up of a bunch of lefties in the first place. |
