by Rod Williams - We need a system of "liberal offset credits," that sort of act like carbon offset credits. Or, sort of like
With companies talking about dropping their NRA association, a lot of people are talking about boycotting companies such as Delta Airlines or Enterprise car rental company.
Due to the flag controversy, when players were "taking a knee" and showing disrespect for the flag and the NFL allowed it to occur, many people talked about boycotting the NFL. Due to their bathroom policy some people refused to shop at Target and lots of people boycott Starbucks; I forget the reason why.

whom they give discounts. I will never join AARP, but I am not going to boycott companies that give AARP members a discount. Life it too short to complicate it like that.
However, if a system was in place to where I could buy a credit to support a conservative cause every time I did business with a company that supports a liberal cause, I would buy the offset. Say I fly Delta, maybe I buy a $1 in offsets. When I get to my destination and I buy a cup of Starbuck's overpriced coffee; maybe, 10 cents in offsets. I then rent an Enterprise car and pay another $1 in offsets. So, $2.10 goes to The Beacon Center (or some other conservative cause) and I did business with liberal companies guilt-free.
What do you think? To eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream would require a $1 a scoop offset.
