4. The actions of one of its founders often gave THD a less favorable reputation than warranted, IMO

Bernie hadn't been associated with running Home Depot for years, but every time he made the news as a darling of the right, THD's name was dragged into it. Arthur Blank, the owner of the Falcons, is also a founder, and he's absolutely a Democrat. He hosted John Lewis to speak at the Home Depot HQ in Atlanta at least once.

I'm hoping I don't see Home Depot show up on the list of companies ditching DEI.
