There are no non-evil companies.
Eventually you reach a CEO who only cares about his money. And we all know exactly which
pedophileparty they support.This company and family are a pox on our state, impeding the will of the people through massive campaign funding and lobbying.
What sucks is that uline is a difficult company to boycott, for a regular person. My workplace orders a lot of supplies from uline, and it’s not like I can convince them to buy from somewhere else because 1. Corporate handles administrative stuff like that and 2. At least one of my managers is definitely MAGA.
this family needs some anon attention
Worked for them as a contractor for a few months. Weird company. Never did make it onsite, but I was told as we were planning one that they are super weird about stuff like walking on grass and extremely conservative about dress code.
Ever since then, I’ve researched companies and owners before accepting jobs. And it brightens my day a bit to piss on their corporate logo, often found in urinals. I’m pretty sure the last place I saw them was Costco, which is a company I have a bit of respect for over the way they treat employees, but I wish they’d be more careful about vendors. Funding propaganda and evil public policy is bad even when you’re just trying to save a buck.
They are major funders to groups spreading election falsehoods, including Restoration of America, which, according to an internal document obtained by ProPublica, aims to “get on God’s side of the issues and stay there” and “punish leftists.”
Since there is no God, this obsession with punishment makes me think that rich people simply see themselves as God through some sort of schizophrenic projection. But they can’t tell people that, so instead they’re “doing God’s work” which is itself an insane statement, but somehow carries enough credibility that entire corporations, governments, and religions are centered on it.
I wish the box industry were as boring as portrayed in The Simpsons.
Blind faith should be classified as a mental illness.
In near future Black Mirror USA I could see that being a real diagnosis but one of the checkboxes is that it only applies to rich patients paying cash for VIP boutique healthcare.
Anybody who needs to use health insurance or receive any kind of government benefits would never be exempted from any of the tried and true methods of control.
Well, it was an unstable kind of band, but I still think you’re going a bit too far.
Definitely unstable. Shit, Steve Winwood still hasn’t made it home.
I switched suppliers some years ago after learning about this. Switched to Global Industrial.
The good news is that there are plenty of other companies that make cardboard boxes. Buy from them.
The problem is uline is a 1 stop shop for many businesses to buy a whole range of supplies, not just boxes. At my last job basically everything in the office came from uline, including the desks, trash cans, hand soap, mops, the disposable cups in the kitchen, and many of the warning signs plastered around the machine shop. The problem was known then but we weren’t successful in convincing them to replace uline with 5-10 other separate companies.
Pretty sure they also have a lot of government/medical contracts. I helped put together fentanyl test kits for the state, and I’m pretty sure almost everything was Uline branded.
Still though, supporting other companies is still worth the hassle. F**K ULINE
Yes I clearly agree, but convincing upper management of that isn’t always as straightforward as suggesting another cardboard box supplier as the other commenter suggested.
Yeah, I agree with you on that,
I had no idea uline was evil. I liked their gifts!
If you get their catalogs, read the letter from their CEO. It’s a heap of maga-pandering garbage.
Yeah damn it I liked their shit
I remember reading a weird pro trump op Ed in their catalogue in like 2016. It was extremely weird
They fuel election denial when they are sold. Not when they sit in your home. Not when they are reused to pack or ship something else.
What a dumb fucking article. The last thing you want people doing is throwing out or recycling Uline boxes and then forgetting the controversy and buying more down the road.
I somehow missed this or forgot about it
shoots the cardboard box
It’s okay everyone, I have saved the day!
cheering and applause, world peace and eliminating famine are achieved
Do people’s cardboard boxes talk? Cause mine don’t.
When mine do, I just tell them to fuck off, then they sulk in the closet for a few hours until they’re emboldened to try pissing me off again.
