Odd that skidmark would support a company that doubled down on its support of DEI.

Early this year, Costco shareholders defeated a proposal from a conservative think tank that would have forced the company to report on the “risks” of its support for DEI. Costco asked shareholders to vote against it.

“Whenever they get told they need to change their business model they don’t react very well — and they shouldn’t,” said David Marcotte, a senior vice president Kantar Retail.

Costco told shareholders that the originality and creativity of its diverse workforce helps it stock its shelves with the unique products that make shopping there a “treasure hunt,” he said.

Still looking to buy another 100+ shares of Costco stock in the next year or so.
IMO, everyone should own as much Costco stock as they feel comfortable with.
