Put another small government/free marketer in the camp of “why do we just let these corporations do what the market demands?”

The magas who are announcing their boycott of MLB aren't really boycotting because they never went or watched.  that's why MLB is LOL'ing at them

Blaming the powerful Dems in the GA state legislature for secretly threatening tax breaks while the actually in power Pubs are doing so publicly is a bold stance.

Spoke to a corporate executive re political activism by big business

Fightin TX Aggie2:41p
I talked today with a high ranking executive of a major company. I won't identify the company, to keep my friend anonymous, but he is with one of the following: Coca-Cola, United Airlines, McDonalds or Walgreens.

I asked my friend specifically what is going on with these big businesses who want to alienate one half of their customer base. His answer was that his company knows what it is doing and doesn't care.

The CEO told him, referring to Republicans/conservatives who care about such things, "Those aren't our customers." He said they could produce marketing studies etc. which show that they're better off towing the line of the dominant left wing culture.

My friend doesn't believe the studies, and he has told the board that everyone's money is green, no matter their political party. To no avail.

He also said that some left wing activists are suing some of the board members, and that probably adds to the fear factor (my interpretation).

So, there you have it. The big corporations are far more scared of angering the left than they are of losing your business. These are decisions made with open eyes.

So the moral of that made up story is MAGAs are too poor for businesses to care what they think?

Assistant Manager of the local McDonald's is not the same thing as high ranking executive.

That’s an actual moral from past 2 years.  They are economically impotent.

Also lol about board members being sued by left wing activists holy crap how dumb is that huge idiot?

The replies were mostly a circle jerk of how conservatives are too rich to buy anything from those companies or people letting everyone know that they have never bought anything from those companies and never will.

First time being refused service for no 'mask'

Subway at palm plaza on 105 requested I mask up.

No problem.

I don't have one so I pull my shirt up. She says that doesn't count.

No problem.

Can I get a mask from y'all?

We don't provide masks.

Ok.

Walk out.

I wonder if the owner knows how much money a $9 an hour employee is costing him over a few pennies a mask cost.

He's a big man with that gun

If that barrel is 7" long he probably claims he's 8" combined by combining the length with his peen

That the fox guy is a legitimate white supremacist. I'm actually shocked he hasn't been banned with the racist crap he says.

Totally unsurprising, but apparently this guy was a cop for 15 years

Thread about alternatives to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc...



C@LAg11:38p, 3/3/21
Still watch YouTube, but with a VPN account, under a fake Google account, using Brave browser. So no ads, no ties to me.

Don't personally Facebook or twitter, but I do have accounts, under a fake ID, tied to different unused email accounts, that I use with Brave behind a VPN
No ties to family or friends on Facebook.

You do not need an account to surf reddit.
