    The key to understanding this phenomenon - which thwarts commerce between willing sellers & willing buyers - is that it is in most cases not driven by net customer demand.https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1169258358240473090 …

    The Left has found a new way of implementing policy from the top down, without the use of government: simply pressure massive corporations to do their political bidding. https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1168966023497867267 …

        In the alternate universe where the FDA is anything but a paperwork regulatory body and actually keeps anybody's food safe... oof. The threat of lawsuit and word of mouth is the same it's always been to keep producers careful. Also you can thank FDA incompetence for drug prices.

        It's not as clear-cut as when sponsor boycotts take out the ability to communicate with customers, but this is clearly a case of elite pressure on the top rather than a response to customer demand.

        Yep. It’s basically peer pressure exerted on like-minded groups in leadership in large corporations.

        That's liable to happen when other large corporations pressure elected officials into not passing gun control that 90 percent of their constituents want.

        Maybe it’s driven by the twin desires of not wanting to look like a monster (often bad for sales) and not wanting to be a monster.
