So, people ask me "Craig, what can I do to affect the outcome of the upcoming election, likely to be the most important one in our lifetimes?" To which I now have a clear answer: Shop at Costco.

Slate's Moneybox has a great story up on the difference between Costco and Walmart. Some highlights:

Costco: Mostly in Blue States.
Walmart: Mostly in Red States.

Costco: Executives give money to Dems
Walmart: Executives give money to Reps

Costco labor practices: Not Evil
Walmart labor practices: Evil

So shopping at Costco helps the forces of light and progress. The good news is that Costco has been doing better as of late.
