On this site, in this context, the merits of HL as a fabric store and the quality of their products are at issue, NOT their politics. Political opinions are not expected or wanted here -- one has to be living under a rock in the outback not to know "what they stand for," and this is not the place to inform others.
Lest anyone think I am pro-HL, I am not. I have never shopped at a HL and I never will. I am strongly opposed to their practices (and yes, I am very well educated on what they are). BUT, I accept that the filter of whether their practices are moral or not has already been applied before a thread about them appears here, and I accept that the people who choose to continue shopping there are interested only in the quality of their products and services and do not believe as I believe.
In other words, political opinions are welcomed on other boards but are not at issue here. Let it go -- just here. And that goes both ways. <3
