Linda Bean on calls for L.L. Bean boycott: It's bullying

L.L. Bean Board Member and Co-Owner Linda Bean on calls for a boycott of the company because of her support for President-elect Donald Trump and the state of the U.S. economy.
Linda Bean, the granddaughter and co-owner of L.L. Bean, on Thursday said U.S. businesses are under attack and being bullied by anti-Trump groups.

A group, Grabyourwallet.org, called for a boycott of L.L. Bean after Linda Bean, one of 50 family members that own the outdoor apparel maker, contributed $60,000 to a political action committee supporting President-elect Donald Trump. The Federal Election Commission said the donation exceeded the PAC’s individual donor limit of $5,000.

"It’s bullying," Bean told the FOX Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo. "They want to control how we spend our money, what we buy, where we buy it. That’s wrong, it’s un-American."

Shortly after her appearance on Fox Business, Trump tweeted a thank you to Linda Bean and urged customers to buy L.L. Bean.

#9  You can deal with Eastern Europeans, or Indians. I will take the former any time.

#8  And even the supervisor she talked to spoke with an Eastern European accent.

#7  And they kept charging me the previous rate for two extra months. Spousal unit is much more patient than I - I was telling her to have the tech just pick up their equipment tomorrow and cancel my account.

#6  My solid-ox unit won't work on fiber... Actually, seems like the new modem they installed is no longer compatible with my old receiver, so a tech is (supposedly) coming tomorrow, probably to replace my receiver and take away all my DVR's stuff.

#4  My U-verse is busted - the Russian-sounding tech who has 'tried' to help for two days has given up. Must be on Trump/Putin's orders...

#3  I'm conflicted here: one the one hand LLB supports ( or at least one of the owners do) DJT, but a the same time LLB sponsors through apparel 'Product Placement,' The Weather Channel, a big proponent of Climate Change

Should the Russian scientists (and increasing numbers of others) be right about the coming little ice age resulting from the sun hitting the cool side of its multi-century cycle, L.L. Bean will benefit equally from the Weather Channel placement. I don't think it implies support for hypothesis of human-driven global warming as such. What they benefit from is people thinking about and dressing for the weather, regardless what it might happen to be.

#2  I'm conflicted here: one the one hand LLB supports ( or at least one of the owners do) DJT, but a the same time LLB sponsors through apparel 'Product Placement,' The Weather Channel, a big proponent of Climate Change. (All the weatherguessers sport the blue LLB jacket) If DJT is opposed to CC, then where does that leave LLB? Just another capitalist whore?

#1  ..their online site for Sales. Buying last season's stuff for next year can indeed save money. Caught items that were cheaper than Wallysmart, but far better quality.
