President Trump鈥檚 latest boycott is against a tire company over a PowerPoint presentation about the dress code at one of its factories.

There鈥檚 a 聽that鈥檚 been circulating 鈥 posted by a TV station in Topeka. This is the voice of the trainer:

“Some people may wish to express their views on social justice or equity issues such as Black Lives Matter or LGTBQ pride on face coverings, shirts, or wristbands, and that will be deemed approved.”

So Black Lives Matter and social justice messages 鈥 OK.

But at the same time, the PowerPoint slide shows that Blue Lives Matter and those red Trump MAGA hats would NOT be permitted because they鈥檙e political.

And of course, it erupted on social media.

Here鈥檚 the way I look at it. At a time when there is no good way to predict who you might infect, we鈥檙e all wise to cover our faces at work, right?

Well, at a time when politics is so fractured there is no good way to predict who you might offend, could we just cover our slogans at work? As in all of them?

Because these days you can wear a T-shirt that says, 鈥淧eace On Earth,鈥 and someone鈥檚 going to complain, “Hey, what about Mars?鈥

And yes, it鈥檚 a free country, but must we ALWAYS know what each other is thinking, even at work? I just think we鈥檙e all safer when our tires are made by employees who don鈥檛 want to punch the guy next to them.
