Asshole Companies

[Tero]

We have the Amazon thread already, but Home Depot is trying to shake off its previous CEO/Owner who was a hard line Trumpster. It really is not good for business as there are more Democrats than republicans.

Now Toyota.

Going back to Obama or earlier

Internal Toyota documents derided the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “activist” and “not industry friendly," a revelation that comes days before the giant automaker's top executives testify on Capitol Hill amid a giant recall.

According to a presentation obtained under subpoena by the House Oversight and Government Relations committee, Toyota referred to the “changing political environment” as one of its main challenges and anticipated a "more challenging regulatory" environment under the Obama administration's purview.

2010 they tried to buy both sides
Feb. 9, 2010 — -- Just as Toyota was engaged in tense negotiations with federal officials over problems with sudden acceleration, the automaker's North American subsidiary donated more than $75,000 to two major political committees.

The U.S. subsidiary of the Japanese automaker donated $50,400 to the Democratic Governors Association in November and December of last year. The company gave $25,000 to the Republican Governors Association in November, having already sent a check for $25,000 in April.

Most of the contributions landed as the car maker began tense discussions with the U.S. Department of Transportation over mounting concerns with random acceleration in several of its models.
