Coke AND Pepsi are still doing business in Russia. I won't buy ANY of either company's products until they halt operations in Russia and stop supporting Putin's war crimes in Ukraine. #BoycottCocaCola#BoycottPepsi
If Walgreens is going to support the Sedition Caucus, then I am no longer shopping at Walgreens (or, in NYC, Duane Reade, which is owned by Walgreens). Pass it on.
Just deleted the Walgreens app from my phone. Done.
Or Boots, for our friends in the UK. Boots is owned by Walgreens.

What did the Trump SPAC potentially do wrong? The SPAC may have been rigged, violating the rules around SPACs and how they're supposed to work.
1) SPACs are "special purpose acquisition corporations." Investors put money in. The SPAC then goes out and buys an existing company.
2) A SPAC is *not* supposed to have a deal already pre-locked into place at the time the SPAC goes public and the investors buy in. Otherwise the SPAC would basically be a Trojan horse to sneak some other company onto the public stock market.
3) There have been reports that the "Trump SPAC," Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) was in touch with Trump's social media arm before DWAC went public -- and basically that the entire deal was rigged.
