The good news is that there are plenty of other companies that make cardboard boxes. Buy from them.

I switched suppliers some years ago after learning about this. Switched to Global Industrial.

What sucks is that uline is a difficult company to boycott, for a regular person. My workplace orders a lot of supplies from uline, and it's not like I can convince them to buy from somewhere else because 1. Corporate handles administrative stuff like that and 2. At least one of my managers is definitely MAGA.

Worked for them as a contractor for a few months. Weird company. Never did make it onsite, but I was told as we were planning one that they are super weird about stuff like walking on grass and extremely conservative about dress code.

Ever since then, I've researched companies and owners before accepting jobs. And it brightens my day a bit to piss on their corporate logo, often found in urinals. I'm pretty sure the last place I saw them was Costco, which is a company I have a bit of respect for over the way they treat employees, but I wish they'd be more careful about vendors. Funding propaganda and evil public policy is bad even when you're just trying to save a buck.

They are major funders to groups spreading election falsehoods, including Restoration of America, which, according to an internal document obtained by ProPublica, aims to “get on God’s side of the issues and stay there” and “punish leftists.”

Since there is no God, this obsession with punishment makes me think that rich people simply see themselves as God through some sort of schizophrenic projection. But they can’t tell people that, so instead they’re “doing God’s work” which is itself an insane statement, but somehow carries enough credibility that entire corporations, governments, and religions are centered on it.

I wish the box industry were as boring as portrayed in The Simpsons.

This company and family are a pox on our state, impeding the will of the people through massive campaign funding and lobbying.

There are no non-evil companies.

Eventually you reach a CEO who only cares about his money. And we all know exactly which pedophile party they support.

I had no idea uline was evil. I liked their gifts!

I somehow missed this or forgot about it

They fuel election denial when they are sold. Not when they sit in your home. Not when they are reused to pack or ship something else.

What a dumb fucking article. The last thing you want people doing is throwing out or recycling Uline boxes and then forgetting the controversy and buying more down the road.

shoots the cardboard box

It's okay everyone, I have saved the day!

cheering and applause, world peace and eliminating famine are achieved
