      They make big fucking money everywhere. I don’t quite understand. Where there’s construction going on, Sika is there. Would be pretty dumb not to do so, don’t you think?

        I’m pointing it out, as I know Sika has a US presence that is essentially dedicated to data centers.

        It is OK for companies to chase the opportunities they want to, that’s capitalism. But some people choose to boycott goods based on where the company chooses to make their money.

        In the US, lots of people are choosing to boycott businesses that make money off of Flock -including the installers. Boycotts like this can be effective for raising pricing for Flock, because the businesses left have to raise prices to install Flock, to cover the downsides. Thus making Flock less competitive and making it easier to stop Flock.

        In a thread about boycotting over moral issues, there is relevance to painting the full picture. Whether anyone chooses to boycott Sika over their willingness to accept money from the pedophile elite to help build AI surveillance police states, that’s up to the individual reader.

          Thanks for the background info! I just know of Sika because we use that on our machines as a sealant (sika flex).

          I appreciate the insights!
