Is this an attempt at a gotcha moment? I don't know man. They are still being supported. Have you ever bought a Hugo Boss garment (I don't btw, in case you ask back)? Hugo literally made the uniforms. Is that right or wrong?

I was listening to a podcast awhile back. Maybe it was a documentary. I can't remember. Anyway, what did stand out to me, is that a vast segment of the population didn't really know about the Holocaust until Streep and Woods starred in the mini series 'Holocaust'. That was 1978.

So, to answer your question. If the above paragraph is accurate, then I'd say most people supported these companies in ignorance. Nowadays, I'm sure the cultures of these companies have adapted accordingly.

People are saying they now judge anyone negatively because they drive a Tesla. I personally wouldn't make that judgment without meeting the actual person. Maybe I should have just said that instead of trying to make a point in the way I did. I'm done playing with you now. Go find someone else. I'm sure it won't take long.
