Between the Jitterbug, the TracFon, and at least a dozen big-button flip phones, I feel pretty sure I know what kind of phone I'll wind up with in the next few years.
What I won't do is apologize for switching to an "old person's phone." There are good reasons for those designs to exist.
I have one as what I call an emergency phone. Originally I got it as a back up in case one of our cell phones crapped out or was lost or stolen. However, I use it quite a bit when calling places or signing up for things that require a number where I don't want to give away my everyday cell number.

Doesn't everybody?So what you're saying is, you have a burn phone for making back alley deals?
I am well entrenched in the first camp.
Many in the second camp are too materialistic and lazy to find other places to get the products they need or want. Old habits are hard to break.
We vote for companies with our money and it works.

Sure, but I pass the saving onto you.

How many of you have a vehicle that was made by UAW? ANY thing you buy that was union made is contributing to the d's. DO you call for boycotts against them? There are most likely union members on this forum, your dues go to help the d's.
Duplicate threads merged.
Oh boy, another one of these. A binary choice. It's either this way or that way. It's either hot or cold, no such thing as warm.
Yes, we're all very aware. Do you hide in a cave and shout at people who wander by to stay off the land of the sovereign citizen? No? Then you're "supporting D's" in some way. Lets come back to reality for a moment, shall we? Politics isn't a football rivalry between UT and A&M. There's more than two sides in this game, and (some) Democrats aren't even inherently evil. Everyone has their opinions, and I believe there's more to be gained by considering them all rather than just putting on the hat and rooting for my team. On some points I am simply not willing to concede, and rights (guns and others) are right there at the top.
For Benchmade, it is a simple case of selecting to not purchase from someone who chooses to work against the interests important to us. Mr. De Asis made political donations to D's, and many people were still willing to hear him out. It was later, when his statement was released, that many of those (myself included) made the decision to cease future purchases. We're not going to melt down our knives, we're not marching in the streets (knife lives matter!), we're just choosing to buy elsewhere.
Since you are already supporting them through your vehicle purchases do you also vote for them? Why not? Your supporting them already?
The real difference here is that Benchmade is a knife company and markets to a specific group. The. Turns around and supports those who work against the rights of said group.

Carried a Benchmade 707 for almost 20 years. Never an issue. Love the Axis lock and won't carry a liner because the 1-handed operation is critical.
Time to replace it. Bought a Ganzo for 10% of the price. It's 80% of the quality. Do I care? Not really, because I can buy 10 at the same price as 1 Benchmade and always have a sharp knife ready.
Axis patent expired. If you're a fan of the Axis, have a look:

I’m not correlating something necessary like an automotive purchase with a knife purchase which has far more option and each option is just as easy as another.
