I tried to move out of society and live among the trees, but then I heard that one Rush song and it turns out that trees are libertarians.

Oxyclean posted:Didn't Chick Fil A quietly go back to donating to those groups some time after? Or am I mixing up with the last time before this one? I think they just find new groups to fund instead every time they get called out. I don't think they're still funding "make homosexuality a capital offense in Africa" levels of horrible causes.

But the salvation army isn't saying "drat right we're anti-gay," they're saying "no, we're totally cool, guys." This is different than an organization whos explicit goal is to stop gay marriage or pressure african nations to outlaw homosexuality. That matters as far as what a company is doing to tailor its image or take sides in our endless culture war.

That matters as far as what a company is doing to tailor its image or take sides in our endless culture war. They have been explicitly trying to outlaw homosexuality. Its fine if you didn't know that when you posted it. "In 1986, The Salvation Army campaigned throughout New Zealand against the Homosexual Law Reform Act 1986, which decriminalised homosexuality." "In 1997, the city of San Francisco enacted a law requiring all companies doing business with the city government to extend domestic benefits to same-sex partners of employees. In refusing to do so, the Salvation Army declined a US $3.5 million contract" "In November 2013 it was made known that the Salvation Army was referring LGBT individuals to one of several conversion therapy groups" Source: Wikipedia. There's a shitton more, as well.

Vorik posted:Republicans have controlled 10 out of the last 14 House congresses. Dems have controlled the last 2.. but their majority is extremely tenuous right now. The Trump administration was already a train wreck in '18 leading into 2020, yet Dems still lost a bunch of seats. If Trump's shithole of a presidency couldn't stop dems from losing seats then I don't think it's looking good for 2022 I'm not saying you're definitely right or wrong but a significant chunk of voters turn out specifically because Trump is on the ballot, and those voters vote for GOP candidates. Meaning that despite Trump losing he gave the GOP congressional candidates a tail wind. So it's possible to interpret the 2020 results as meaning the GOP is in trouble because without Trump many of those voters will not turn out. Impossible to say with certainty since Trump certainly increased turnout on the Democratic side as well.

https://twitter.com/srl/status/1392562188792045571 My understanding from Shelby County is that the court left it open for the Congress to fix section 5 of the VRA and re-implement it. Assuming for the sake of argument that we can't get HR1 through the Senate, would this be enough

Doesn't almost all evidence suggest if Trump's name isn't on the ballot his % of "surprise to polls" voters don't show up? I would think the Georgia Run-off and the 2018 mid-terms, in relation to 2016 and 2020 clarified that. Also atm the GOP has no consistent message on loving anything, are either infighting on the playground or yelling about "Cancel Culture" nobody but 30% of Americans even understand, the Qanon bubble and the myth of Trump's inevitability has burst, Trump's unfavorability rating continues to drag the party down, and there is no charismatic fearless leader to the chuds to pick up the pieces.

Selfishly I'm glad though, this may kinda sorta blunt whatever impact it may have had on prices for my long road trip next week. Maybe. zoux posted:https://twitter.com/srl/status/1392562188792045571 "Enough" is a relative term, my friend. Would it be better than nothing? Yes. But the GOP is engaging in a full frontal assault on democracy as a thing. This ain't the time for mealy mouthed half or quarter measures. Manchin needs to sack up and do the needful.

Kavros posted:I'm really actually sorry to hear that chick fil a is killing it mostly due to being a model achiever in cleanliness and professional presentation. Little things like having consistently working and legible drive-through electronics sure do matter for a lot, who would have thought? Most fast food restaurants you go to are franchises, take MCd's, some McDonalds are well run, some are shitholes, it's entirely up to the franchise owner. As long as the location's metrics are above a certain point, McDonalds (the corporation) is fairly hands off. A McD's franchise owner gets to decide staffing levels, scheduling and can own multiple locations. In practice this means it's some jackoff taking as much of the revenue for themselves as they possibly can while staffing as minimally as they can and paying the absolute minimum on improvements and equipment maintenance. CFA is much stricter on their franchises, the 'operator' does not own the location, can only have one location, must maintain adequate staffing and must be on site as an active member of the workforce (even though they are in a managerial role). For all the bad things CFA does, this is why they tend to be such a well run fast food outlet... amazing how far adequate staffing and maintaining your equipment can go.

But if you dropped the average person into McD's for a week at their average salary and then CFA for a week at their average salary my guess is most people, drat near all, would prefer CFA. I'm gay, southern, and love chicken. Going there is a logistical pain in the rear end because of how busy it always is but I never once "boycotted" them for their donations. I know, don't care. EDIT BTW I love how smug goons and libs generally get about CFA's ownership's religious beliefs and causes but turn around and talk about how kickass In'N'Out Burger is. Might just wanna check the religious beliefs of the (pretty young considering) woman that owns that company. Then tip your shake cup upside down and ask yourself, is that a bible verse printed on there? VH4Ever fucked around with this message at 23:36 on May 12, 2021 |

I don't consider "don't support anti-LGBTQ establishments" smug since I feel it's an ethical decision. I don't have In'N'Out around me but I'm curious about why they're lovely and also if them being lovely is still for patronization of their locations. Edit: speaking of hobby lobby sucks for not only not funding birth control for their employees but also literally buying stolen religious artifacts from ISIS.
