Amway faces boycott over donation to anti-gay group

Except for brainwashed Amway distributors with two tons of it in their garage?

They're controlled by the DeVos family.

NEVER do business with AmWay, Quixtar or any of the other MLM scamster pyramid businesses - any money you spend ends up in the pockets of right-wing billionaires.

to boycott them. About 15 years ago, someone tried to sell me, as he called it, "the plan" and "the dream." He gave me some audio and video tapes of their rallies. I lost count as to how many times a speaker would say "wives, submit to your husbands when doing this business."

We have all known for decades what they represent. This should have zero impact on their bottom line.

I remember people selling this scam back in the early 80s. Didn't ever think it would make it this long.

I'd bet only a small fraction of product ever gets resold to consumers.

that they took their name of a lot of their products

those 'products' became something like a separate business or corporation in their own right.

also, 'Quixtar' is their online business, ISP, etc. supposedly separate in it's own right as well

The Orlando Magic and Tampa Bay Lightning (hockey)

Psychopaths of a feather flock together.

LOL

The $250 set of saucepans (you get two--a 2-quart with lid and a 3-quart with lid), $58 dog food (40-lb bag), $9.35 quart of dish soap, $49.79 gallon of diesel engine cleaner (this isn't actually all that outrageous...you're only paying the minimum-wage slave $3.71 to drive to the nearest truck stop, buy four quarts of Howes Meaner Power Kleener, dump it into a gallon jug and stick an Amway label on it)...shall I go on...are proof no one buys Amway shit unless they're in someone's downline or they have a friend they're trying to keep Amway from bankrupting.

When a friend in the biz had mentioned that they were launching an online web-based biz, (Quixtar) & I was about to enter college.

Him & his higher ups had told me that some of the partners involved would be IBM, Microsoft, etc. (turned out to be lies & half truths..they possibly had a hand in the building and/or managing of the equipment that would host the sites, but never sold products through Amway)

Because of college coming up, I had visions of helping to pay for it by being the go-to guy for Microsoft Office at discounts, etc. for my fellow students...nice gig if they had been truthful.

I eventually figured out it WAS a MLM pyramid scheme..but also pretty much a bait & switch operation as well.

You see..you are NOT buying their stuff wholesale, as much of it is overpriced crap to begin with, so folks don't make a whole lot of money for themselves JUST by selling the products (unless you convinced a gullible army to sign up with you & you get a percentage back from what they buy & sell themselves monthly)..

...the bait & switch scam where the real money was made was by convincing people to go to all the 'business workshops' (that you had to pay to see) & buy all the 'inspirational' tapes, books, videos, etc. from all the 'successful' millionaires in the biz.

Needless to say..I got out within a year without losing too much. (helped that I was a struggling student without a whole lot of money to begin with!)

Scammy bastards...grr...
