20. Years and years ago, I purchased something from Uline before I knew anything

about the company.

Subsequently, I receive huge, hardcopy catalogs from them in the mail on periodic basis.

When this started happening, I would browse through the catalogs, and I noticed that buried inside each catalog, was a one page diatribe of right-wing grievances, written by Liz Uihlein.

I remember that I then sent the company a brutal, scathing email which expressed my displeasure. I stated that they would never again see one dime of my money, and that I would be spreading the word about what pieces of shit they are.

The dumb fucks continue to send me catalogs to this day. I'm assuming that my email never reached anyone very high up on the company food chain.
