News that big box wholesaler Costco is taking Donald Trump’s administration to court over his tariff war — while demanding a refund — landed with a thud with the president’s most ardent defenders.On Monday, Costco Wholesale lawyers filed a lawsuit that states, in part, “Because IEEPA does not clearl...

I know it’s the second Costco related thing I’ve posted on this, but it’s a pretty big deal.

If these MAGA turds want to try to boycott, I’ll laugh my ass off because this one of the best performing retail stocks in the US in the past 20 years.

    We know they mostly shop at Sam’s Club anyway because Costco doesn’t build in their shitholes. Saving yourselves a 90 minute drive to own the libs.

      While the rural areas are a red stronghold, it’s not that much, and while cities tend to trend blue, there are large bastions of entrenched reds. If you were to hazard a guess as to what those entrenched red areas look like, you would be right if you guessed they fit the costco demographic pretty well.

      Ive had a theory that in some places where the wages are super low and life is hard they do not want costco to come in and pay better than all the shitty local factories thats have been taking advantage of people for so long

        Yep. We used to live in an area near two Costcos and we knew some people that had several of their (extended) family - adult kids that had moved out and lived in the area as well - working at Costco. They were living middle class lives. Maybe not upper echelon stuff, but it seemed like they had some affinity for the place and they seemed to get treated with an amount of dignity instead of some places that seem to do everything possible to crush the souls of their workers. These people actually seemed…happy. This is even when we ran into them at a Costco store while they were working.
