Owing to the dominance of leftists
throughout academia and the media, many corporations have caved in to, or
willingly adopted, the values of the progressive left. Institutions
respond to other institutions more than to individuals, which is why so many
ostensible beneficiaries of free markets end up supporting leftist causes.
Pretty much everyone that cares understands that Starbucks, with
its infamous, counterproductive "talk about
race" initiative, is progressive in outlook. But many other
companies quietly donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center or other leftist
groups without much public awareness.
My friend who blogs under the name Bookworm, at the
eponymous Bookworm Room website,
has done us all a favor by collecting a database now exceeding 7,000 companies
and their political positions and values. The website What Business Thinks has made
this database easily accessible for you as you shop either online or at stores.

The site works well on both computers and mobile
devices. Using What Business Thinks, consumers can quickly find
whether a business is aligned with their values or hostile to
them. This is the kind of information consumers should have before
spending their money.
The site also has a companion blog in which I spell out in
greater detail the information I'm steadily adding to the
database. If you follow the blog, you can keep up with developments
in the business world.
Because there's more information out there than any one
person can find, making What Business Thinks a continuing work in
progress, the site also has a User
Submission page that allows people to update old information, correct
bad information, or introduce entirely new information – provided that it's
well-sourced.
I urge you to check it out. I will be consulting it
often as I spend my hard-earned money.
