A major farm supply retailer said it will eliminate DEI roles, end its carbon emissions goals and cut ties to an LGBTQ advocacy group following a social media campaign calling for the firm to revoke its “woke” policies. 

Tennessee-based Tractor Supply — an 85-year-old company with 2,250 stores — made the decision after conservative commentator Robby Starbuck called for a boycott over the past three weeks on X. 

“We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them,” Tractor Supply said in a statement on Thursday. “We have taken this feedback to heart.”

Mobile phones purchased from a carrier are generally locked to that carrier until either the contract is up or the phone is paid off. But despite improvements to the process over the years (unlocking was flat-out illegal not long ago), it still isn’t quite clear to all consumers when and how they can unlock their phone and take it to the carrier (or country) of their choice.

FCC rule would make carriers unlock all phones after 60 days

Rohlik — which means “baker” in Czech (and also a little roll the baker might make) — has aimed to carve out a differentiated position. Its focus has been on operating smaller warehouses and linking up ties with local producers and sellers, such as butchers and fishmongers, rather than reproducing what a large supermarket might sell online (or indeed stock in a physical store). In reference to the Rohlik of its name, it bakes bread at its distribution centers.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
