Something is not right about the link, I checked to see if it was in their newsroom, I went back two years and only found one time in two years they gave to "Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)" it is on page 7

I took the link from NYpost and tried to break the link down, it kept coming up as "page not found" on the Corporate Home Depot website.

This is what was posted "Retool Your School Grants Improve and Beautify Historically Black Colleges and Universities
September 13, 2023
From landscaping and renovating dorms to repaving athletic courts, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) around the country are using Retool Your School grant money to improve student life."

I had to check it out because Bernard Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot is a big Trump supporter. https://corporate.homedepot.com/page/newsroom https://corporate.homedepot.com/news/diversity-equity-inclusion/retool-your-school-grants-improve-and-beautify-historically-black

You also need to be aware that once a government program has been outed, many times they will rebrand themselves, change the name and continue with business as usual until someone else comes along and outs them again. Seen it happen time and time again over many years.

I have been doing a little more digging on a news article from the NYtimes about "The Home Depot Expands Partnership with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation" Or "HRC" and no it is not "Hillary R Clinton" 😏

I looked into the HRC Foundation page of Corporate Partners and did not find Home Depot on their list, I also checked out their "Featured News" and went back one year, and still nothing about Home Depot, I also went to their "Search HRC.org" and put in Home Depot, still nothing.

I looked at the "Board of Directors" on HRC and they have 78 listed, Crap that is a lot. 😲 for an Org company I have to wonder how much the Board is getting paid,

One thing is for sure this Foundation hates the MAGA movement, Bernard Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot is a big Trump supporter so I find it hard that they would partner with HRC again not "Hillary R Clinton" I do have to wonder if they are a Hillery fan. 😂

Here we go again these corporations are evil❗️🤬

It has been most convenient for me, but I am disgusted to be aligned with your 'advice'. 🤮

Seems like they like to play both ends against the middle. Guess it’s a pretty good business strategy 😒

I should say NOT...

Fears grow for the future of America's favorite home repair stores

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-13762679/fears-grow-future-home-repair-stores-america.html

Lowe's and Home Depot are both out now.

I guess it's just locally owned hardware stores that are left, which is fine by me.

That was my first thought. We have 3 hardware/ home improvement type stores in my town. Also shop independent appliance stores. 😉

I miss the on every main-street in every single town small hardware store that had shit stacked to the rafters in side and by god that little man could indeed find that odd discontinued in 1971 propane pilot orifice he was sure he "still had a few of around" kinda hardware stores. So many were not even the first generation in the location, kids or grand kids of store clerks from local history.
I knew personally a real genuine master cobbler as a kid my dad used to have his boots fixed at. Could custom build entire shoes, and a son of a cobbler who took the shoe store and trade from his dad when he died. All gone now long ago...

Oh wow, too much info!
