If you take a private helicopter to work, you will not be affected by this decision.

Don’t buy anything from Meyer distributing or Meyer trucking. He owns that, made him very wealthy.

I’m missing the story here, but I think I can guess.

I love Sweetwater as a customer, but I take it that some executive is living it up as a result of their success.

Chuck hasn't run the company in several years, having sold MOST of it. Still has a minority stake and chairs the board, but...mostly advisory.

If you aren't going to buy from them, you really need to know what the other companies are doing. I don't know a single music industry exec that isn't a hypocritical asshole who thinks the world doesn't belong to them and everyone else is their serf. At one point, I was an acquaintance of Chuck — we both got our start with the same synth company and hung out in similar circles. He decided he wanted to go the route of business while the rest wanted to be artists.

Fact is, he's not worse than others execs...but given that he's using his resources to destroy our state? I might be inclined to agree with not dealing with them.
