No Red Bucket No Irritating Bell

Buying groceries at the local Winn Dixie and I noticed that the Salvation Army bell-ringer and their red bucket were missing.  Edit: To be clear, they were there last week.

I wonder if they were getting an earful over the white guilt bullshit.

I see they've withdrawn the request for white people to apologize, but I think the damage might be done.

    I haven't noticed any local changes but once you have an identity/trademark and crap all over it, people remember. "Salvation Army" is a known thing, for good or for bad. Changing the advertising doesn't matter when the supporters know that the leadership is still the same. An established trademark has momentum. Another example of "Get Woke, Go Broke".

    Dammit. The SA was the last best hope for a decent Christian charity. And they've gone full bonkers. Dammit.

    (insert film clip from Charlton Heston's "Planet of the Apes" when he's screaming at the fallen Statue...)

    Hadn't even noticed I haven't seen them in Longview. If they show, I'm going to stand around and watch how the people treat them.
