If you are in the retail business you are there to sell shit to people who want to buy your shit and who have the money to pay for it. It is really fairly simple.
A bunch of employees of Wayfair, an internet based furniture store, are planning a walkout to protest the fact that their employer is actually selling office equipment to ...... wait for it......ICE.
Specifically the sale, for $200,000, was to a NGO non-profit that operates detention facilities for ICE. A group of 500 employees signed a letter asking Wayfair to stop dealing with this contractor and similar businesses. The furniture is mostly camp beds so the illegal aliens won't have to sleep on the fucking floor.
Wayfair said the order will be processed and shipped as scheduled. They further said, "...we believe it is our business to sell to any customer who is acting within the laws of the countries within which we operate."
I hope they've got the stones to follow thru. The 547 employees who are threatening a walkout all work at the Boston offices of the company.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If the do walk out, fire all 547 of them!

Sounds like a regular business deal. Supply and demand. All 547 people can leave and a new batch of 547 will replace them.
