Patagonia decides to pick and choose only the wokest buyers for its famous vests

Can lefty companies pick and choose their buyers, as if the gay cake controversy were applicable only to conservatives?

Yep, they’re doing it — and getting away with it as a good public relations move in the press.

In a Bloomberg piece under the unintentionally ironic header of “Good Business,” Patagonia is refusing to license the vests it sells to oil companies, mining companies, religious groups, “politically affiliated” (read: conservative) organizations, and big wicked banks.

Late last year, Patagonia updated its mission statement, saying, “We’re in business to save our home planet.”

Oh, give us a break.

Do these jackasses use electricity?  Do they use capital to create those black vests they are selling as today’s business attire?  Do they have religious views of their own?  Yes, yes, yes, on all fronts.  So what they’re really doing is setting belief requirements for their buyers in order to allow them to order their vests with any company name on them.  See, they aren’t in the business of selling vests anymore; they are now saving the planet.

The Bloomberg piece says they’re actually turning buyers away, because some of them aren’t virtuous enough.
