OT: Evil Corporate America/Economic Collapse

Dougster
How about that news yesterday? Corporate America bringing pressure on politicians to end laws which would allow discrimination. SJG and Josh43 were right about how evil they were all along.

Then there is other news about companies proactively increasing wages for their lowest paid workers. Definitely proof of the economic collapse that Stevie-girl and his mindless, cock-sucking circle-jerkers on TUSCL foretold.

Finally we have the mayor of Seattle seeing he wants to see a $21 minimum wage. As the great financial minds on TUSCL have repeatedly stated that would send our already collapsing economy into a death spiral.

Parital list of companies openly critical of "religious freedom act (RFA)" in Indiana:
(1) Angies List
(2) Anthem
(3) Lilly
(4) Subaru
(5) Dow
(6) NCAA

...and the pressure from corporations resulted in Arkansas governor relenting and refusing to sign his state's RFA. So Dougster has it right.

All 10 GOP candidates support the RFA in Indiana.

Apple is another big company officially opposed.

Sure, yet it's OK for Apple to make big money in countries that are way more suppressive to equal rights than the Indiana law. I don't get that one. Why does the CEO want to boycott Indiana but not Saudi Arabia?

Shailynn: If the world is about to end, isn't it time to *spend* all of your money on strippers rather than saving it for your old age? ;-)

@Meat: I think George Will was credited with making the comment about Apple and Saudi Arabia. Valid point, but Tim Cook has only been CEO since 2011. Perhaps he can bring other changes to Apple without dismantling a 30-yr-old jewel of a multinational. Cook has gone on record that he is giving away nearly all his fortune to charity before he dies. He has a genuine social conscience and I have deep respect for the guy. He's *not* a hypocrite.

Nineteen states have RFRA as well as the United States as a whole (signed by Bill Clinton in 1993). Why pick on just Indiana? The homos' and lefties' boycotts will have no effect. Remember when the gay mafia tried to take down Chick Fil A? They failed. In fact, the opposite happened, people came out to support freedom of speech and stood in line for hours just to eat there. Sure a few companies will leave or threat to leave Indiana, but in the end more companies will come to Indiana than depart. After all religious freedom is a part of the Constitution.

Josh43, you are referencing a leftie rag with an article written by a guy who openly hates the US Constitution. Go smoke another blunt.

Sinclair, if you're a Christian, you're coming off as enormously judgmental (all them "homos'!).

i agree with @Josh43. these evil corporations have no right to a voice in the public square. they just want to use their money to buy elections and silence the people. they must be stopped

that is unless they are for the intolerant lefty causes right Josh?

Techies are like Hollywood faggots, they're idealistic lefties who prefer sucking on the beans.

They are way more hypocritical on the political spectrum and I'm not crazy about any party.
