I stopped buying gas from Exxon because of the Valdez disaster. And I stopped buying Nike because of their sweatshop ethos.

I don’t know if either company has done things to ameliorate their bad business behaviors. But I have options. So will it be with Disney and ABC. Frankly, if I never watch another superhero movie or another Star Wars movie, I’m not going to lose sleep over that.
