Keep digging, jackass, keep digging.

As for me, zero visits to Whole Foods since the op-ed, even though it is the closest store to me.

Will NOT ever shop at Whole Paycheck again. Not ever. Nope.

We used to shop regularly at Whole Foods. Now I feel guilty when I have to go there for a couple of items I can't find anywhere else. But we used to shop there for most things, 2 or 3 times/week. Now we shop for just a few item once a month. I feel badly for the people who work there, but I just can't support an organization headed up by an outspoken opponent of making health care available to everyone who needs it. No matter how sincerely deluded he may be...

Yes, John, non-profits are motivated by service. I work at a non-profit and unlike the 20 years I spent in corporate America, I come to work every day knowing that not only am I not adding to the misery in the world, I actually do some good now and then.

Whole Foods doesn't do well in Portland. We have our own called New Seasons: better food, more local produce, meat and seafood and very involved in the community.

Jesus, just when I was getting to where I could stand to go back in to the place again.

Keep it up you paultard fool. See how great you feel about capitalism when your shareholders finally have had enough of your seemingly deliberate efforts to piss off the customers you so carefully cultivate and fire your ass.

"If you're on their team they love you and if you're on the other team they hate you."

Yeah, it has nothing to do with you actively advocating for policies that are harmful to the life and health of others.

How much of an asshole do you have to be to talk about your political principles while dismissing those of anyone who disagrees with you as mere tribalism, with no connection to substance?

What a simpleton pompous ass.

I don't give a damn about how progressive he use to be. He's a nut now!

What really got me about Mackey's comments on health reform is that he seems honestly to believe that those who do have access to health care are more deserving of health care, by virtue of being successful capitalists, or some such claptrap.

Libertarianism can often sound like old-time Puritanism; in other words, God rewards his faithful, and therefore material success is a sign of God's favor. The winners have never lacked for justification of the righteousness of their success, no matter how clearly you can show them the tilt of the playing field.

I've read his article, listened to the full interview at Reason, and I like what I read and heard.

Having lived through most of the Cold War, I'll take freedom over government-enforced attempts at equal outcome any day.

I still shop at Whole Foods, and have started shopping there more often as a show of support.

The constant whining from neo-Confederates is grating on my nerves. Their battle cry is "They don't like me because I am a conservative", and he goes further with his "victim rant", "I, I, I", he stuttered, "I voted for Bob Barr". Poor Mr. Mackey, he is simply an old guy, he has no idea who his customers represent anymore, because he outgrew them. Mr. Mackey doesn't realize his customers are latte sipping, Volvo Driving (okay subaru driving), Liberals some of whom are from the left coast! Oh Mr. Mackey, I never hear anyone from the Nordstrom family weighing in on politics, why do you think that is? Yes the Nordstrom family, far smarter than Mr. Mackey, they might be republicans or libertarians or democrats, but I wouldn't know, because they know better than to insult more than half of their customer base. It seems Mr. Mackey has no clue. Oh well, it is PCC all the way for me!!!!

I haven't shopped at WF since he op-ed and I've saved a ton of money in the process. Go Trader Joe's.
